# Discount Methods for Volume Pricing
The discount method controls which items count toward a quantity break, when your rule covers a variant, a product, or several products at once. You'll find it as the **Discount Methods** dropdown in the rule's **Discount** section, next to **Pricing source**.
There are 3 discount methods:
* **Same Variant** — the discount applies per specific variant.
* **Mix Variants** — customers can mix and match variants of the same product toward the discount.
* **Mix Products** — customers can mix and match different products in the rule toward the discount.
## Same Variant
The discount only applies when a customer buys multiple units of the **exact same variant** — same size, color, and style.
*Example: a T-shirt comes in red and white. Buying 2 Large Red shirts qualifies for a 10% discount. Buying 2 Large White shirts qualifies for a 15% discount. Buying 1 Red and 1 White shirt gets no discount, because the quantity of each color must be counted separately.*
## Mix Variants
The discount applies when customers mix different variants of the **same product** — any combination of size or color counts toward the total.
*Example: buying 1 Large Red shirt and 1 Medium Blue shirt of the same product still qualifies for the discount, because the quantities of that one product's variants are added together.*
{% hint style="info" %}
Each product in the rule is still counted separately — only variants within the same product are mixed together.
{% endhint %}
## Mix Products
The discount applies when customers mix different **products** that you've selected in this rule.
*Example: if the rule includes T-shirt A and T-shirt B, buying 1 Large Red T-shirt A and 1 Medium Blue T-shirt B still qualifies for the discount.*
{% hint style="info" %}
This only mixes products within the same volume pricing rule. The app won't combine quantities from products that belong to a different volume pricing rule.
{% endhint %}
You can also choose whether the discount is calculated from the product's Selling price or its Compare-at price — see [Choose pricing source](/samita-wholesale-b2b/volume-pricing/choose-pricing-source.md).

## 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/volume-pricing/discount-methods-for-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.
