Fair Flow Discounts

Fair Flow Discounts automatically extend quantity-based savings across eligible products sharing the same production method and facility, even when individual product quantities differ.

What Are Fair Flow Discounts?

Fair Flow Discounts allow eligible products sharing the same production method and facility to benefit from the highest quantity-based discount qualified by an individual product in that production flow.

When an order contains several qualifying products with different quantities, the largest product quantity determines the discount level extended to the other eligible products. This allows customers to receive better pricing on smaller quantities without combining unrelated products or artificially increasing their unit counts.

Fair Flow Discounts are calculated automatically as part of the ordering process, with no separate discount request required.

How Fair Flow Discounts Work

  1. Identify Matching Production Flows: The system evaluates products in your cart to determine which share an eligible production method and facility.
  2. Find the Largest Qualifying Quantity: Within each matching production flow, the system identifies the individual product quantity that qualifies for the greatest volume-based discount.
  3. Extend the Discount: The applicable quantity-based discount is extended to other eligible products within that production flow, even when their individual quantities are smaller.
  4. Keep Quantities Separate: Each product retains its actual ordered quantity. Quantities are not added together to calculate a larger discount.
  5. Apply Pricing Automatically: The calculated savings are reflected in your cart, allowing you to review the applicable pricing before checkout.

Fair Flow Discounts share the qualifying discount level across matching products, not necessarily the same final unit price. Each product retains its own underlying pricing.

Fair Flow Discount Example

Suppose you order two products using the same eligible Direct-to-Film (DTF) production flow and facility:

  • Product A: 50 custom hoodies.
  • Product B: 23 custom T-shirts.

Ordinarily, each product's quantity would determine its own Bulk Discount. Under Fair Flow Discounts, the 50-unit quantity establishes the applicable volume-based discount for both eligible products.

The hoodies receive the discount associated with 50 units, and the T-shirts benefit from that same discount level even though only 23 T-shirts are ordered.

The quantities are not combined into 73 units. Each product retains its actual quantity and underlying price, but the smaller product benefits from the larger qualifying quantity.

This allows customers to receive more consistent volume-based savings when purchasing different products within the same production flow.

Which Products Qualify?

Fair Flow Discounts depend on production compatibility rather than simply the number of products in the cart.

Products must share an eligible production flow, including the applicable production method and facility, to receive the same quantity-based discount.

  • Production Method: Products using compatible production processes may qualify together, such as eligible items produced through the same DTF, sublimation, or embroidery flow.
  • Production Facility: Products must also meet the applicable facility requirements. Sharing a decoration method alone does not necessarily make two products eligible for the same discount.
  • Individual Quantities: Each product maintains its actual ordered quantity, regardless of the discount level applied.

Products using different or incompatible production flows are evaluated separately. The cart calculates the applicable discounts based on the eligibility of its contents.

Fair Flow Discounts vs. Bulk Discounts

Fair Flow Discounts work alongside Bulk Discounts, but the two concepts describe different parts of the pricing calculation.

  • Bulk Discounts: Reduce eligible product costs according to qualifying quantities. Discounts adjust smoothly as quantities increase rather than relying on fixed quantity brackets.
  • Fair Flow Discounts: Extend the discount earned by the largest qualifying product quantity to other eligible products sharing its production flow.

For example, Bulk Discounts determine the savings available at a quantity of 50 units. Fair Flow Discounts determine whether another compatible product ordered in a smaller quantity can benefit from that same discount level.

Account Discounts are a separate savings mechanism based on qualifying account activity over a rolling 365-day period. When both Bulk Discounts and Account Discounts apply, the platform uses the greater applicable discount.

Common Uses for Fair Flow Discounts

Esports Merchandise Orders

Order different esports jerseys, hoodies, and merchandise designs while benefiting from shared volume-based discounts when the products qualify under the same production flow.

Different Products in One Production Flow

When ordering compatible products such as DTF T-shirts and hoodies, Fair Flow Discounts can extend the savings earned by the larger product quantity to the smaller one.

Multiple Design Variations

Home and away uniforms, alternate colorways, or different merchandise designs may qualify for shared discounts when they use the same eligible production flow.

Mixed-Quantity Orders

Organizations purchasing different quantities of several products can benefit from the larger qualifying quantity without ordering unnecessary additional units of the smaller products.

Reviewing Your Fair Flow Savings

Fair Flow Discounts are applied automatically when qualifying products are included in your cart. No coupon code or manual pricing request is necessary.

As you add products or change quantities, the applicable pricing may adjust to reflect the qualifying production flows and volume-based discounts.

Review your cart before checkout to confirm the products, quantities, and final pricing. Products that do not share an eligible production flow may receive different discounts.
