The kit discount: your discount grows with your kit
With the nutrient calculator you put together your own custom kit: enter your setup (area or watts, medium, method), the calculator works out the demand for a complete cycle and puts the cheapest bottle combination into your cart.
The rule: every product in your kit adds 3% discount on the whole kit, capped at 21%. With all six nutrients of the BUDXXL schedule (Grow, Bloom, Root, CalMag, Candy, Vita+) you are at 18%. Products you do not need can simply be deselected in the settings. Their demand and their discount point are dropped, so you never pay for something you do not want.
- 3%per selected product
- 18%with all 6 nutrients
- 21%maximum
- B2C + B2Bfor all customers
The kit discount is calculated on your personal price. As a B2B customer you therefore get it on top of your volume prices. In the cart every line stays a real individual product with its own price: you can see exactly what each bottle costs at the regular price and what you pay with your discount.
Budnuts Bucks: collect and redeem
Budnuts Bucks are our rewards programme for private customers. For every euro you spend you receive 0.1 Bucks, and one Buck is worth €0.10 when redeemed. You redeem with a tick at checkout, and your balance is shown in your customer account under "My status". Bucks are not only for shopping, by the way: you also earn them for reported website errors (bug bounty, the "Found a mistake?" card at the bottom of every page) and as a kickback in the affiliate programme. All details in the article Budnuts Bucks.
Affiliate programme: recommend and both sides benefit
As a private customer you create a personal referral link with its own discount code in your customer account. Anyone buying through it saves with your code, and you receive 0.1 Bucks per referred euro. Every new affiliate starts at 25 % for 6 months. After that the revenue referred in the last 12 months sets the discount tier, from 5% up to 31%. The full ladder is in the article affiliate programme.
B2B volume prices for business customers
Verified business customers get automatic volume discounts based on their net purchases over the last 6 months: Stecki 30 % from €0, Knospe 35 % from €1,000, Mutter 40 % from €2,500. Register and verify once, after that the prices apply on every login. An upgrade applies immediately. New partners get Mutter (40 %) straight away for 6 months after approval, regardless of purchases. If your purchases drop below the threshold, you keep your tier for another 3 months. How to get approved is explained in the article B2B system & discount tiers.
What can be combined?
- Kit discount and B2B tiers are price benefits, not vouchers. They always apply automatically and do not use up your voucher slot.
- One voucher code can be redeemed per order. An affiliate code counts as a voucher code, as do promotional codes (for example our new-customer promotion).
- Budnuts Bucks stack with the voucher code. So you can use a code plus Bucks in the same order.
- Bucks and affiliate are B2C, the volume prices are B2B. Business customers do not collect Bucks; their discounts are built into their prices instead.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which discount is currently applied?
In the cart every discounted line shows the regular price and below it "My price" with the discount rate. Your programmes (Bucks balance, B2B tier, affiliate link) are all collected in your customer account.
Do I have to apply for anything?
Almost nothing. Kit discount and Bucks run automatically. You create your affiliate link with one click in your customer account. Only the B2B tiers require a one-time business verification.
Do my benefits expire?
Bucks expire 365 days after they are credited. After the starter phase, the affiliate discount follows the revenue referred in the last 12 months and rises and falls with it. The B2B tier follows your net purchases over the last 6 months; if they drop below the threshold, you keep your tier for another 3 months. The kit discount only depends on your current kit.
Are there promotions beyond that?
Yes, from time to time there are promotional codes, for example for new customers. Current promotions are shown on the homepage.
