## Common Use Cases

### Wholesale Store
```
Tier 1: 10+ items = $X each
Tier 2: 50+ items = $Y each
Tier 3: 100+ items = $Z each
```

### Bulk Packages
```
Package 1: 6 items = $XX
Package 2: 12 items = $YY
Package 3: 24 items = $ZZ
```

### Mixed Approach
Use tiers for flexible quantities (10+, 25+, 50+)
Use packages for common bundles (6-pack, dozen, case)

## Pro Tips

1. **Round Numbers**: Use 10, 25, 50, 100 for tiers
2. **Meaningful Savings**: Offer at least 10% off per tier
3. **Label Packages**: "Family Pack" sells better than "4-pack"
4. **Label Tiers**: Use descriptive labels like "Wholesale Price" or "Bulk Discount"
5. **Test Checkout**: Always complete a test order
6. **Mobile Check**: View on phone to verify responsiveness
7. **Quantity Restrictions**: Enable package restrictions to prevent arbitrary quantities
8. **Blocks Compatible**: Works with both classic and block-based carts/checkout
