# Select Discount Type
The four ways a wholesale or volume pricing rule can calculate its discounted price.
When you create a wholesale or volume pricing rule, you choose one discount type — this determines how the discounted price is calculated.
## 1. Percentage discount (Percent)
Discounts the product by a percentage of its current retail price.
*Example: 20% off means an item that costs $100 now costs $80.*
## 2. Fixed amount discount (Amount)
Subtracts a fixed dollar amount from the product's retail price in Shopify (not from its compare-at price). Because it's based on the current retail price, the wholesale price moves automatically if you change the retail price.
*Example: retail price is $100, and you set Amount = $20. Customers see $80. If you later raise the retail price to $120, the wholesale price becomes $120 − $20 = $100.*
## 3. Fixed wholesale price (New price)
Sets a fixed final price that does **not** change even if the retail price changes later.
*Example: retail price is $100, and you set the fixed price to $80. Customers see $80 — even if you later change the retail price.*
## 4. Custom price list
Sets a different discount for each product individually, instead of one value for the whole rule. Only available once you've scoped the rule to **Specific products**. See [Create wholesale pricing for specific product/variant](/samita-wholesale-b2b/wholesale-pricing/create-wholesale-pricing-for-specific-product-variant.md).
{% hint style="info" %}
The wholesale price you set should always be less than or equal to the product's retail price.
{% endhint %}
For Percentage discount and Fixed amount discount, 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/wholesale-pricing/choose-pricing-source.md).

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.samita.io/samita-wholesale-b2b/wholesale-pricing/select-discount-type.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
