Spend tiers discounts create progressive reward structures that encourage customers to increase their order value. Each spending tier unlocks better discounts, creating a compelling incentive for customers to add more items to their cart.

Common Use Cases

Seasonal Promotions: Special tier structures for holidays and events
Clearance Events: Aggressive tiers to move inventory quickly
New Customer Acquisition: Attractive tiered offers for first-time buyers

Best Practices
