May I know what is your scenario? Currently, same Catalog Item cannot add to a Store twice in both Economy v1 and v2. Economy v1 supports setting multiple prices for one Store item with different Currencies, like 10 Gold/20 Silver. Economy v2 supports setting multiple prices for one Store item with same Currency, such as 100 Gold/200 Gold.

Progressive pricing. You get one for cheap, but the second and third will respectively cost more.

Playfab store is lacking in modern monetization solutions. It also doesn't support limited quantity per player and time limited purchases.

Well let's say that each player is assigned to TIER at some point. Tier takes values 1 - 5 and it can change during player's game experience (the idea is that player is trying to always go to higher tier). For each tier I have setup a separate store (T1Store, T2Store, T3Store). This is because each tier is associated with store products which are relevant for that tier only. When player is in Tier 2, he can get Tier 2 store products.

Sometimes I would like to offer the same tier product to the player at a discount price. This means that in my store I want to display some store product X, but also I want to display the same product X but as a special offer with discount price. So it would be visible two times in store. Once at regular price and once as a special offer.

For this, it would be really convenient if I could set up in one Store on PlayFab two different store items at two different prices and different custom data, which would both point to the same catalog item.

Does it make sense ?

That makes sense, and my initial thought was the discount scenario as well. You can implement it by adding a Bundle (contains the same item, but with a discount price) into your store.
