Volume Pricing (Beta)

Please note that this functionality is in beta so we recommend you thoroughly test in your test environment before enabling this feature in production. This functionality is available in Release 112 and onwards.

Volume Pricing in Limio

Volume pricing allows you to charge based on the number of units purchased, making it suitable for scenarios like seat counts, gigabyte usage, or API calls for SaaS. Previously, Limio supported Volume Pricing charge models only with External Pricing. However, recognizing the demand for flexibility and control in managing more pricing in Limio, Volume Pricing can now be handled in Using Limio Price.

Limio supports volume pricing tiers that differ from those set in a Zuora Rate Plan. This guide will walk you through using Volume Pricing charge models in Limio. Note that this feature is still in Beta and may change over time.

Enable the feature

In order to use this feature, you will need to navigate to the Beta settings section of the Limio Commerce app. From the User profile dropdown in the top-right hand corner of the app, navigate to Settings. You will then need to select the Beta option at the bottom.

Selecting the Beta menu option in the Limio Commerce app General Settings paneOnce you have successfully navigated here, toggle the slider for the option marked "Use Pricing Editor v2 instead of Pricing Editor v1?". Remember to click Save at the top of the page. This will enable our new Pricing Configuration Editor which includes the ability to configure Recurring Volume Pricing.

Configuring Volume Pricing for a Limio Offer

Volume Pricing can be configured for both Limio Offers and Limio Add-Ons. This guide will demonstrate how to set it up for a Limio Offer. The same steps apply when configuring an Add-On.

Steps to Configure Volume Pricing

1. Navigate to Offers:

   • Go to the Offers tab and select your desired offer.

2. Edit Price Attribute:

   • Locate the Price attribute within the selected offer.

   • Click on it to begin editing.

3. Select Pricing Type:

   • Choose "Recurring Volume" from the top options.

   
4. Configure Pricing Tiers:

   • Define unit range and amount per tier

   • Select between "Flat Fee" or "Per Unit" pricing for each tier.

     • Flat fee: Customer is charged the list price if their quantity is within that tier.

     • Per unit: Customer is charged the list price multiplied by the quantity selected, depending on what tier they are in.

       
5. Set billing period

   • Specify the billing period of the charge, and whether the customer will be charged multiple times before renewal.

     
6. Save Changes:

   • Fill in all necessary details and click "Save" to apply the configurations.

Once you have completed editing your offer, remember to Save and Republish the offer for the changes to take effect (Manage Versions with Publish) .

When setting up volume pricing with Flat Fee tiers, it's advisable to specify a default minimum quantity for the Offer/Add-on. This value should match the ending unit of your first tier. Consequently, when using the Limio Cross Sell component, the offer/add-on will initially appear in the user's basket with this pre-defined quantity, ensuring the provision of the correct number of units.

Configure a purchase experience using Volume-priced Offers and Add-Ons

Limio Cart Items component has full support for Volume-Priced Offers and Add-Ons, and will allow your customers to select a quantity easily when using either Flat Fee or Per Unit pricing.

Flat Fee Pricing:

• Tiers are displayed as single selectable dropdown options.

• Selecting a tier sets the order quantity to the tier's highest eligible quantity.

• Open-ended tiers are shown as: "51+", for example.

Per Unit Pricing:

• Features a standard number input for custom quantities.

• Input validation ensures quantities do not exceed the maximum configured limit, unless dealing with an open-ended final tier.
