Bundle analytics for Shopify, which numbers matter

Bundle analytics on Shopify come down to five numbers: views, orders, conversion, revenue and average order value, plus a ranking of which bundles lead on revenue and on conversion. Elite Bundle Builder shows all of them on its Analytics page for the last 30 days. This post explains what each one tells you, how to read the trend charts, what a poor conversion rate usually means, a weekly routine that takes a quarter of an hour, and the questions the app cannot answer that Shopify's own reports can.

The five numbers and what each one answers

Metric	How it is calculated	The question it answers
Views	Times the bundle page was viewed	Is anyone arriving?
Orders	Orders that included a bundle	Is anyone buying?
Conversion	Orders divided by views	Does the page do its job?
Revenue	Sales attributed to bundle purchases	Is it worth the space?
Average order value	Revenue divided by bundle orders	Is the ladder pulling orders up?

Views without orders is a page problem. Orders without revenue is a pricing problem. Revenue without conversion is a traffic problem hiding behind a good offer. Reading them together is the whole skill, and it is why the analytics page shows them side by side rather than one at a time.

Where to find bundle analytics in Elite

There are two views. The store-wide Analytics page compares every bundle and carries the two top-bundle charts, one by revenue and one by conversion rate. The bundle-specific page, opened from the analytics action on a bundle in the dashboard, shows the same metrics for one bundle so you can watch a single change.

Use the store-wide page to decide where to spend your attention. Use the bundle page once you have decided.

How to read the trend charts

Views, orders and revenue each have a chart over time. The useful thing to look for is not the level but the shape after an event.

A views spike after a homepage feature, an email or a navigation change tells you the promotion worked. If orders rise with it, the page is fine and the job is to promote more. If views spike and orders stay flat, the traffic did not match the offer, or the page lost them.

A conversion drop after you added a step, tightened a minimum or switched a template tells you the change hurt. A revenue rise with flat orders means shoppers are picking more or dearer items, which is what a discount ladder is supposed to do.

Do not judge from one day. Shopping has its own weekly rhythm, and a single quiet Tuesday means nothing. Compare a week before a change with a week after.

What a bad conversion rate usually means

When views are healthy and orders are not, the cause is nearly always one of these, in roughly this order of likelihood:

Too many required steps. Every step with a minimum is a gate. A shopper who wanted three snacks and met a "pick your drink" step they cannot skip will leave. Turn the item limit off on steps that do not need it, so they become optional, and put the real requirement on the whole-bundle size instead.

A discount the shopper cannot see. If the tiers are only visible after the first add, or the savings hint is off, the shopper does not know what they are working toward. Turn on the progress bar or box display and the savings hint under Design, then Discount display.

Sold-out items in the grid. A grid with a third of its cards marked sold out reads as a store that has given up. Hide out of stock items under Design, then Product card & variants, or fix the stock.

The add button is out of reach on a phone. The cart or button below the fold on mobile is the most common thing found in a preview at phone width, and the easiest to fix by switching the cart to a drawer on product-page templates.

A first tier set too high. If the first discount needs six items and the average shopper wants three, the offer is not for them. The bundle pricing strategy post covers where to put the first tier.

Change one of these at a time. If you fix three things on Monday and conversion improves, you have learned nothing about which one mattered.

A weekly 15-minute review

Do this on the same day each week. It is short on purpose.

Minutes 1 to 3: store-wide page. Look at the top bundles by revenue and the top bundles by conversion. Note whether the same bundles lead both lists. A bundle that leads on conversion but not revenue needs traffic. A bundle that leads on revenue but not conversion needs a page fix.

Minutes 4 to 8: the bundle you changed last week. Open its bundle-specific page. Did views, orders and conversion move in the direction you expected? If yes, leave it alone for another week. If no, revert the change or try the next item on the list above.

Minutes 9 to 12: the bundle with the worst conversion. Open its storefront page on your phone and build a bundle as a shopper would. You will usually find the problem in under a minute.

Minutes 13 to 15: write one line. What you changed, when, and what you expect to see next week. Next week's review starts by reading that line.

That is it. A bundle that gets a fifteen-minute look every week will be in far better shape after two months than one that gets a two-hour audit once a quarter.

What the app cannot tell you

Elite's analytics cover the bundle page and the orders that came through it. They do not cover what happened before the shopper arrived or elsewhere in the order.

They cannot tell you which channel sent the shopper. Whether a bundle order came from an email, a paid ad, organic search or a link in a bio is not something the bundle page knows, so attribution across channels is out of scope. They are also not a report on the rest of the order or on what a bundle buyer does on their second visit.

For those questions use Shopify's own reports and analytics, which sit on the whole order rather than the bundle page. Sessions by traffic source shows which channel brought the visits. Sales by channel and sales by product show the bundle's parent product alongside everything else in the order. Customer reports show whether bundle buyers come back. Elite's numbers tell you whether the bundle page works; Shopify's tell you whether the business around it does.

When the analytics look empty

If the page shows nothing or far less than you expect, check these before assuming the bundle is failing:

• The bundle is Active or Unlisted and has actually been viewed on the storefront.
• The Elite Embed Core app embed is turned on in the live theme.
• Orders were placed through the bundle page, not by adding the same products individually.
• Enough time has passed for recent activity to appear.

The features page lists what the dashboard covers, and the build your own bundle page shows the storefront flow that generates each view and order.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good conversion rate for a bundle page?

There is no universal number, and any post that gives you one is guessing. Compare the bundle with your own product pages and with your other bundles. A bundle converting well below your product pages has a page or offer problem; one converting well above them deserves more traffic.

How far back does Elite's analytics go?

The Analytics page focuses on the last 30 days, with views, orders and revenue charted over time in that window. For longer history, Shopify's own sales reports on the bundle's parent product carry the full record.

Can I see which marketing channel drove bundle orders?

Not in the app. Attribution across channels lives in Shopify's reports, where sessions by traffic source and sales by channel cover the whole order. Use Elite to judge the bundle page and Shopify to judge the traffic.

Analytics are included free with every bundle. See the pricing page or install Elite Bundle Builder from the Shopify App Store.
