You can set up different prices for your items based on who's buying and how much they're buying. This is sometimes called price levels or quantity breaks.

For example, a level A customer might pay $140 for a single quantity of an item, but if they purchase five units of that item, they'll only have to pay $100 for each.

Volume discount

The volume in the Volume Discount % field in the Selling Details tab of a customer’s card will apply in addition to the quantity-break price levels you set up.

To set custom pricing levels, you can give each level a name and then specify a price for each level for each quantity break. Then simply assign a price level to each customer.
