# Wholesale pricing vs Volume pricing
Understand when to use Wholesale Pricing versus Volume Pricing, since the two features solve different problems.
Both features give discounts, but they trigger on different conditions. This page helps you pick the right one — or use both together.
## What is wholesale pricing?
You can offer a wholesale price to specific customers or customer groups. You choose which products, collections, or your entire catalog it applies to, and set the discount as a percentage or a fixed amount. Showing customers their wholesale price builds trust and encourages repeat bulk buying, while your retail shoppers keep seeing regular pricing.

## What is volume pricing?
Volume pricing (also called quantity-break pricing) discounts a product more as customers buy more of it. It's a win-win: you move more inventory, and the customer saves money by ordering in bulk. For example:
* 10–19 units = 10% off
* 20–29 units = 20% off
* 30–39 units = 30% off
* 40–49 units = 40% off
* 50+ units = 50% off

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.samita.io/samita-wholesale-b2b/overview/wholesale-pricing-vs-volume-pricing.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
