Let shoppers pick a variant per unit on Shopify — checkout-safe
Sell a multi-pack on Shopify and let shoppers choose a shade or size for each unit — the quantity discount still applies across the mixed variants, enforced at checkout. No code.
Shoppers often want a multi-pack and variety — three lipsticks, but a different shade in each; a six-pack, but mixed flavours. The per-unit variant picker lets them do exactly that without losing the quantity discount.
How it works
When a shopper selects a multi-unit tier (2+, non-BOGO) on a product that has variants, the widget renders one dropdown per unit directly under that tier. The shopper picks a shade or size for each; the theme’s own Add to cart adds the mixed pack.
Why the discount still holds
The Shopify Discount Function counts the product’s total quantity, not matching variants — so a 3-pack made of three different shades still unlocks the 3-unit tier, and the discount is enforced at checkout. The shopper gets variety; you keep the AOV lift.

FAQ
- Does mixing variants break the quantity discount?
- No. The Shopify Discount Function counts the product's total quantity, so a 3-pack of mixed shades still unlocks the 3-unit tier and the discount holds at checkout.
- Where do the variant dropdowns show?
- Directly under the selected multi-unit tier in the widget — one picker per unit, on any Online Store 2.0 theme.
