Tiered pricing structure based on a product quantity
We are new to hubspot and we are setting up the system and we need to be able to setup tiered pricing on products based on the quantity ordered. This is FUNDAMENTAL to our sales process and what EVERY system I have worked in has allowed for. I have been involved in system development in my career in the past and this feature would be easy to add and make your product MUCH MORE robust. If I can't do this then hubspot is not working to streamline and improve my business, our quoting process would still have to be done manually. I am willing to work with your team on how to set it up and do the testing and debugging with you if you can take this project on and make it happen for us. We are in the intial 90 day trial period and can't move forward without it.
Hey folks - Ethan here, PM for the Products and Line Items team. I just wanted to let you know that this featureis noton our roadmap for this quarter, again. We absolutely want to expand the flexibility of how pricing is set within the HubSpot Product object, and it's likely we will work on this project this year, but we're working on several other features (e.g. adding support for installement plans/payment schedules, support for discount codes, and making the line item editor more standard) this quarter and we needed to make some hard decisions about what to prioritize.
As a sidenote, I'll be updating the top Ideas associated with Products and Line Items ~once per quarter going forward. I will include (1) whether or not a feature is on the roadmap for that quarter or not and (2) what our rollout plan for that feature is (e.g. will there be a beta or not). If you have feedback about additional information I could include in these updates, drop a note here. If I see a theme, I'll adjust my updates to address that.
I won't be doing this for everyidea, but most ideas above 25 kudos will get this treatment.
I love using this site and exploring all of the many services offered. It is usually very easy to navigate, customize, and utilize. However, there are four main issues I have found with the product creation options for any company that offers different prices based on quantity purchased. (ex: $10 per item when buying <100, $8 per item when buying 100-200, $6 per item when buying 200-300, etc...)
Being required to create 3+ entries for each product depending on how many tiers are offered.
Having to manually create each product due to the lack of a “copy” function”. This is monotonous and takes a lot of time to fill out a near copy of the form with only one or two small changes.
Having to create yet another product for any fees that might be associated with products or services
Having a clogged, messy looking product library that has very limited organization options due to folders not being able to stack. This means if you want a folder for each product to hold the different pricing options, you now sacrifice all ability to organize by any other category. Or, alternatively, if you choose to organize by a category, the inside of each folder is still full of multiple entries for any product that is within it.
Because of these issues it is difficult to utilize the Products function which then limits the ability to use the Quotes and Deals functions. It would make an incredible difference if HubSpot was able to add the functions to list multiple prices for a product and/or the ability to associate fees with products! If we were able to do that, we wouldn't need to have a copy function. Stackable folders would be nice, but are not necessary.
Our solution to this was to create a *LOT* of different products (one for each tier) - it's inefficient and the wrong way of handling this.
HubSpot should definitely put a little work into their products section, they seem to assume everybody is selling t-shirts or widgets. I don't need super complex stairstepping type of pricing, but it sure would be more useful if they let us define:
Quantity tiers (so sales people can't arbitrarily enter quantities) - for example we sell t-shirts in blocks of 10
Volume discounts - 0-10 = $20... 10-20 = $18.00
Maximum discount by % so sales teams can't arbitrarily make up discounts. Yes there are approvals, but that means a human being has to be part of every quote, at scale this really doesn't work.
As well (or in lieu of) - if they would at the very least let us add & modify line items in workflows we could create automations to enforce these types of rules.
Any solution would be welcomed, the current product/line-item methodology forces us to pay for other third parties.
Completely agree with those additions needed: Tiers and Volume discounts (also important to be able to implement Graduated Rates instead of Tiers) and don't forget forced combinations: for example, if my product has a one-off fee and a recurring license I should be forced to use both if I choose one.
Agree with all of the above, we sell training programs and price is tiered dependant on the number of students an organisation palces in the course. We have a product library of inexcess of 100 so adding 5 x tiers per product is not feasible.
My company has a number of products that we sell through different sales channels: Distributors, Agents, Direct, etc. The channels each have different price lists, but the products themselves are identical (same part number). To keep track of the different prices, we have created 4 folders under "Products and Quotes". Each folder has has all the same products and the appropriate price for that sales channel. So far, so good.
The problem is that HubSpot treats these as 4 completely separate sets of products. The result is that when I want to create a report showing the sales pipeline for a specific product, HubSpot treats it as 4 different products (one for the folders). I have now ended up with a report like the one below... where each of the sets of columns is actually the same product.
From HubSpot support: "It's not possible to have multiple prices for the same products at this time. The workaround being to have multiple products - one for each price. The best option I can recommend would be to export that data from the report here, and try to re-group the data externally in Excel or something like that"
We can't be the only ones with different prices for the same products?
To keep things simple the best way might be to allow configuration of a tiers as a default discount based on minimum quantity (two input boxes for each tier to configure). This would work even in case of products with pricing in multiple currencies.
This means that line discounts need to be adjusted when quantity is modified.
The sales can then also further adjust manually pricing and discount.
An approval process can then be configured to trigger based on "line item discount" > "product tier discount"
One possible way to help on this would be to allow me to pick a FOLDER, then one of the line items in that folder. Right now, the only way to distinguish between the same name item in multiple folders is to embed the folder name in the product name. It looks wonky and I hate sending it to the client that way. If I could first select the Folder, then select the item, it would go a long way towards working (for me).
This is not an actual solution to having a single product with multiple prices. It might make it easier to work with, right now, though.
We would like to create a tiered pricing structure for products. This will help companies that sell products directly to customers and through some resellers as distributors. This will automate the process of selling products and eliminate the problem of different margins on the same products with the same SKU/EAN number.
This would be very benificial to my team and I as well. When we sell products to our distributors we have tiered pricing that is applied to each distributor dependent on a number of factors. In an ideal world, we would have a way to set different companies to their respective teir and have the correct pricing structure applied to any products added to their order using the same product list.
Currently our only workaround is to make tier folders in the product list containing identical lists with the correct pricing for each, which as many have mentioned is both an inefficient implementation and leaves the list more cluttered and confusing than it should be.

We are in the same boat with different pricing for different partners. I have 10 folders holding the same line items with different pricing. I also have folders for additional options because the line item lists were just too long - another 3 folders. 13 folders that could be 4 folders if we could just tag different pricing options on the same line item.
~Following this thread in the hope this is updated soon!
This would be very helpful for us too. Keen to see this implemented as soon as possible. We discount based on multiple items all the way up to 41(!), so I'll still have to input a 41-level structure for our 100+ products. At least for new products when implemented this will save so much time, and make our product library significantly smaller and neater, not to mention giving our sales reps 1 product, not 41 iterations of it.
