Hello @hhcreationsllc and thanks for you question. There are two different ways, depending on if you are in person or online. In person you would setup a discount in your Square Dashboard. But for use on your website, You would have to setup a "coupon" on your online dashboard. Unfortunately, i don't think the online coupons can be structured in a way to apply the coupon differently based on the quantities bought of an item. It would just be a discount of a certain amount, for each item or every item in a category. BUT you can set this up for us in person in your store (see below).
The workaround for your online checkout would be to create separate items based on quantities. For example, create a new item called "Buy TWO candles" and "Buy THREE candles" or something like that. Then the price for these items would match your in-store prices. You would have to use variations to add the specific colors/scents they would choose from. The downside to this is that this may not sync inventory with your online/in person store because you're not dealing with the exact same items (as you are creating a new item or set of items).
Now...
If you're setting this up for us in Store in your POS, You can do this by setting up a discount. Go to your Square Dashboard >> Items >> Discounts. And create a new discount.
You'll be using Discount Rules, so turn on this option. Here is what you're discount might look like.

I know, there are A LOT of little areas in this screen that need filled out, so please be patient and get a feel for this screen. In no time you'll be able to setup discounts like this. But here is the "logic" behind what you're telling this discount to do:
- When someone buys more than one of a specific Item or Category,
- Apply a discount, in your case $.50 cents off when buying two.
- So when someone adds two items from your specified items or categories, the shopping cart should show a discount of $.50.
I think you'll need to create another discount for the quantity of three, and and do it the same way but make the required number three, and make the discount $1.50
I hope this helps answer your question and this explanation isn't too confusing. Discounts and Coupons are tricky to work with but the more you play around with the screens you'll get the hang of it. Please keep us updated and let us know if this works for you!
