Hi, we document our pricing models here: https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models
After you review it, let me know what specific questions you have

We want volume based pricing (https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models#volume-based-pricing). However, we need it for one time purchases. On the volume discount page here: https://stripe.com/gb/resources/more/what-is-volume-pricing-heres-how-volume-discounting-works it describes basically our exact use case of someone buying some small item (screws, in the case of this example), and them being discounted when they more of them. I just cannot find anywhere to set this up other than recurring payments, which is not what we want

If you're not looking to use recurring payments/ subscription, you can create different prices, https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create and pass the quantity on your end
For instance, if you have a price from 0-15 - you create on price, from 16-30 another price

So we would need to create a price for each tier? It doesn't seem like that should be necessary as the documentation lists out our exact use case. In fact, I fail to see a case where this is useful for subscriptions, but not one time payments. Is there any plan on making this functionality available for one time purchases, and do you know why it doesn't currently work when the use case suggested in the documentaiton indicates it should?

For one time pricing, there is flat rate and a package pricing which you might want
You'd pass https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create#create_price-billing_scheme and https://docs.stripe.com/api/prices/create#create_price-transform_quantity to gpackage item quantities
Are you able to try the above?
If you tried creating https://docs.stripe.com/products-prices/pricing-models#volume-based-pricing with one-time pricing, you'd get an error likely
mellow merlin
I don't think package pricing is what we want, we'll probably go the route of creating separate prices for each "tier"
next totem
yeah, in that case, you'd pass the price id and the quantity depending on the quantities purchased for one-price purchases
mellow merlin
okay, thank you for the clarification.
I do think that tiered pricing structure would be very useful on one time purchases though, if feedback can be provided.
