A discount that often varies by customer. For example, a company may sell its products to a variety of resellers. Some of the resellers might buy $1 million of products each year, other resellers might purchase $100,000, and still others buy less than $10,000 per year. The company would probably have lower selling prices for the large-volume resellers and have higher selling prices for the low-volume resellers. One way to achieve this is to have a catalog showing just one selling price for each item, but to offer discounts that vary with the volume purchased. That discount is known as a trade discount.

"I stumbled across the website for AccountingCoach, and I am glad I did. I have always enjoyed bookkeeping, but I have never been formally trained. After receiving and reviewing the material with AccountCoach PRO I can honestly say this is the best product I have every purchased. The lifetime membership is worth the cost. The courses are set up for the beginner to the most advanced and is written in a very clear format. I would recommend AccountingCoach to anyone wanting to learn, or take a refresher course on accounting and bookkeeping." - Jewell B.
