# Creating Quantity Discounts & BOGO Offers

> Learn how to create Volume-Based Discounts and Buy One Get One offers

## Overview

In addition to promo codes, SimpleTix supports two types of quantity-based discounts:

* **Volume Based Pricing**: Traditional quantity discounts (buy 4 or more get 20% off)
* **Buy One Get One (BOGO)**: Special offers like "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" or "Buy 1 Get 50% Off"

Both discount types are automatically applied at checkout and do not require promo codes.
