Shopify Bundles

The 3 choice limit means you can't bundle two shirts together because that would be 4 choices (size twice and color twice). This is the silliest limitation ever...perhaps designed to push you to pay for extra addon spend that Shopify makes a % from? The same for showing discounts! What online store doesn't allow you to display discounts clearly - Shopify doesn't! ugh

We use bundles for 90% of the products we sell. HOWEVER, we have to create MAJOR work around to promote these on social ads. Bundles means we can’t use any of the native social sales channels. Reporting sucks because we have to create special reports to see sales data.
Bundles do not flow into Triple Whale but all the individual items do. As a result, we can’t see which bundle is the top seller.
The only benefit is the individual products flow into NetSuite so we can keep our inventory accurate.
Come on Shopify, Q4 is here…isn’t it time this is fixed?

Shopify announced that they increased their variant limit to 2000 back in ...January? But still has not rolled it out. This greatly limits the bundling app.

Worse things:
1. When I make a bundle it loses all knowledge of the original products offered variants and tries to combine aspects of a listing that never were options. (aka a pair of a book with rope offered in a few thicknesses and colors wont import the knowledge from the original rope listing about which colors are in which thicknesses)

2. No bulk editing. This is ridiculous. But the items created by the bundling app cant be bulk edited. This means every price has to be opened and set manually one at a time for each variation.

3. Unwanted variants have to be deleted one at a time. This means any excess variants the bundle app creates (see issue 1) have to be slowly deleted one by 1 (regular shopify products support deleting a few variants at once...)

4. No "optional" flag for making a bundle. Every item we bundle MUST be purchased by the customer all together. Meaning customers cannot choose to mix and match a kit of their own with rope and shears and books and rings. We have to set "this kit comes with all these things, take it or leave it"

Right now the bundels don't work like intendet. A few months ago it worked like a charm. My customers can't put the bundels in to the cart and if they can, the shop denies to purchase all products of a bundel after a random number of prducts (every time the same number per product). This is unaccaptable. Please fix this asap.

Useless!!! We have two separate warehouses in two different countries, therefore two different locations set up in Shopify. One location ships within Switzerland exclusively, the other supplies the EU and the rest of the world. The app cannot manage different location's inventory - it says "Inventory for bundles is shared across all locations." This makes the app absolutely useless for anyone with different locations.

it doesn't work! We make bundles of for example 5 products and only 3 of them get into the basket of the customer. This app is horrible, we put in so much work in it and then suddenly it doesn't take the products, this is so frustrating! Why do you publish this app if it doesn't work yet?

While it's a free app, it should be as it's virtually useless. The limit for products is way too low, and the the bundle functionality doesn't actually work - it just line lists out skus that make up the bundle with individual pricing. I'm not sure what the point of this app is, but go elsewhere.

when you add a new colour variant to a product included in a bundle, it breaks the bundle

Seems really nice at the beginning but it is really limited and many stuff is not working as it should. I wanted to sell a bundle of 3 posters with 3 sizes but i ended up with 27 variants to update the price as i wanted to sell the bundle for less than the indivual price combined. Yeah instead of being smart and take the individual price of each size and calculating the total during item selection, it creates a variant for each possible combination. It's insaine !!!
I just wanted the customers to select a set of poster of the same size not a combination of any size for any poster so only 3 variants but it is not possible despite what the chatbot told me...

Bundles that I've created, were initially working, suddenly without any apparent triggers begin showing 0 inventory/ availability, even though their constituent products are all in stock. If I go and edit the bundle, by removing a product, saving, and then re-adding the same product, and re-saving, then suddenly it shows the inventory again. It's always been doing this randomly since I installed it I noticed, but now, having been to busy to check in the last few months, I just discovered it was the case with all of the bundles in my shop. The impact being that these last months, no one could buy these products from us online.
