- Your bundle sales sit under $500 a month and you are already set up there.
- You have built a custom UI on their SDK and do not want to port it.
When to pick Elite Bundle Builder
- Your bundle sales are growing and you want the bill to stay at zero. The pricing page has the table.
- You want a fixed set with a variant choice per item on the product page as well as BYOB.
- You want per-bundle design with a live preview, and metafields (calories, tags, care notes) on the cards.

Moving from Easy Bundle Builder
Rebuild each bundle in the editor: steps, min and max, tiers, design. If you have a custom UI, the SDK exposes bundle state and actions, so the port is a matter of swapping the data source and event names. Keep the new bundle unlisted, test the discount at checkout, then set it active and retire the old bundle.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Elite Bundle Builder SDK cover a fully custom UI?
Yes. window.eliteBundle.sdk gives your code the bundle state and actions, and six elite:byob:* events fire as the shopper builds. Discounts and the single cart line work the same as with the built-in UI.
Is there a bundle sales threshold on the free plan?
No. No sales, order or bundle limit. The features page lists what is included.
Can I run both while I switch?
Yes. Keep new bundles unlisted during testing, then switch the live ones. More on the FAQ.
