How to create bundles on Shopify in five steps

Here is how to create bundles on Shopify with Elite Bundle Builder: install the app, build the steps or options, set the discount, adjust the design, and publish. A first bundle takes around 15 minutes, and nothing goes live until you set it to active.

Step 1. Install the app and turn on the app embed

Install Elite Bundle Builder from the Shopify App Store. It is free, with no trial or card.

Then open your theme editor (Online Store, Themes, Customize), open App embeds, and turn on Elite Embed Core. This is what renders bundles on your storefront. If it is off, shoppers see a plain product page. The getting started guide has screenshots.

Step 2. Choose a bundle type and name it

Click Create in the app and pick one of three types.

  • Build your own bundle for step-by-step picking: gift boxes, routines, snack boxes, "choose any 5". Read the build your own bundle page for what it can do.
  • Multi-option bundle for a set where the shopper chooses a variant or product per option: an outfit, a kit. See the multi-option bundle page.
  • Fixed bundle for a set with nothing to choose: a starter kit, a gift set, a multipack. Shopify's own bundles sell it, in POS and the Shop app too.

Give it a name. The app creates an unlisted Shopify product behind the scenes to hold the bundle, and the fullscreen editor opens.

Step 3. Build the steps or options

For a build your own bundle, the Build tab holds the steps. Each step gets a title ("Pick your snacks"), a product source (specific products, or one collection that updates itself), and an order. Drag to reorder steps and products. In Config, set a minimum and maximum per step, a limit for the whole bundle, the one-of-each rule, and whether a step's items are a free gift.

For a multi-option bundle, the Options tab holds the options. Each option is a group of products (shopper picks one) or a single product with its own options (shopper picks colour, then size).

To sell the bundle on subscription as well, open Config, Subscriptions and turn on Offer subscriptions. The plans come from your subscription app, and every product in the bundle must be in the same plan there first; the Shopify subscription bundles guide covers that setup.

Step 4. Set the discount

Open Offer and turn discounts on. Choose the trigger (number of items, or order total) and the calculation (percentage off, fixed amount off, fixed bundle price, or amount off per item). Add a tier per threshold, for example 3 items for 5% off, 5 for 10%, 8 for 15%.

The discount applies at checkout through Shopify Functions. Shoppers do not enter a code. Multi-option bundles take one flat discount instead of tiers. Worked examples are on the bundle discounts page.

Step 5. Design, preview and publish

Pick a template first: a landing page (standard, classic, compact, horizontal) or a product page widget (grid, list). A multi-option bundle picks a layout instead: stacked cards, divided list, numbered or tinted cards, or a grid. Then open Design and adjust the banner, cards, variant pickers, steps, bundle cart, discount display and branding, with the live preview updating as you go. Preview at mobile width before you finish.

Product data, such as the SKU, the vendor, the stock left or a metafield like calories, is set in the preview itself. Hover a product card or the cart (an option on a multi-option bundle, the "In this bundle" list on a fixed one), click the + at an empty spot, and add a line with the data in it. It shows on every product that has that data; the product data page has examples and the product data guide covers each spot.

Keep the bundle unlisted while you test it on the live theme. Add enough items to hit a tier, go to checkout, and confirm the discount is there. When it looks right, set the status to active. The publish guide covers replacing the product page versus using a dedicated page.

What happens after a shopper adds a bundle

The picked items go to the cart as one bundle line that lists what is inside (a bundle bought on subscription stays as separate item lines, because Shopify does not merge lines on a selling plan). Inventory comes off the real products. At checkout the discount function applies the tier the bundle reached. The order shows up in Shopify like any other, and the analytics page records the view, the order and the revenue.

Where to go next

The features page lists every control in the editor. The FAQ covers themes, inventory, translations and migration from another app. If you get stuck, in-app chat answers in about 10 minutes during IST business hours.
