Types of bundles
- Fixed bundles: a set of products sold together, such as a starter kit.
- Build-your-own: the customer picks items to fill a bundle.
- Volume offers: buy more, save more on the same product.
- Add-on bundles: a complementary item offered with the main product.
Pricing that makes sense
- Make the value clear: show what the customer saves or gets.
- Check margins, since a deep bundle discount can cancel the benefit of a larger order.
- Avoid confusing pricing rules.
Inventory and operations
Decide how bundles affect inventory: whether components are tracked individually, how returns work and how the bundle appears in orders and fulfilment. Test this before promoting the bundle.
Designing the bundle experience
- Show what is included with images and a plain summary.
- Make the bundle option easy to find on the product page and in the cart.
- Keep the build-your-own flow simple and mobile-friendly.
- Watch speed, since bundle apps and builders can add page weight.
Measure whether it pays off
Compare average order value, conversion and margin with and without the bundle, using a proper test. See our A/B testing guide. Our bundle funnels work covers design and setup, and you can combine bundles with upsells and cross-sells.
Frequently asked questions
- Do product bundles increase average order value?
- They can, when they offer clear value or make choosing easier. Check margins and test the net effect on revenue per visitor.
- How do I create a product bundle on Shopify?
- Use a bundles feature or app to group products with a combined price, or set up a fixed bundle as its own product. Test inventory, orders and returns before promoting it.
- Should bundles always be discounted?
- Not always. Convenience, curation and clear value can work without a deep discount, so test different pricing.
