Shopify Bundles

You will spend a lot of time on it, designing, and editing your bundles, then you'll know that it's not working properly on shipping and etc.

WASTE of time

Unfortunately the current configuration of the Shopify Bundle app is not working properly.

The system treats products included in a bundle as a single entity, and as such, it does not support assigning individual images to each variant within a bundle.

So the app that should show variants of bundle, it is not displaying it = not working.

Downloaded it and my inventory was wiped, says all unavailable when I have stock

Terrible App. Doesnt even work. We added the bundles and it always said products are out of stock eventho we had stock on all products. Shopify Support said its an issue with the theme which is a joke considering it has nothing to do with the front end and only with the backend. Absolute Joke

Bundles is EXACTLY what Shopify needs to add to their platform. With products being limited to 3 variants and no way to have "add-on" items, this highly restricts custom products from being sold on the Shopify platform.

There are 3rd party apps for multi-variants, but they do not work natively with shopify, break with shopify updates, do not work with the shopping cart and customer emails without LOTS of custom code, and do not work at all in Shop App.

In comes this "bundles" app. Theoretically, solving all of my issues by natively supporting bundles. However....big issues:

Issues:
1. Any update to an underlying product will cause the bundle to break
2. You cannot rearrange the order of the products
3. The drop down form is not customizable
4. Renaming the items or changing any little detail will cause the whole bundle to be remade
5. Doesn't exactly work with the shopping cart (no descriptions)

I would give this 0 out of 5 stars.

Shopify NEEDS this feature badly but has failed to create a usable Bundles management app.

Shopify: Please please please prioritize a bundles management app. Scrap this one and make something robust from the ground up!

The products you create with the bundle will not fall out of your inventory. Is this a joke? You use the world's biggest e-commerce software. And the bundle application does not work properly.
Even the most ridiculous ecommerce software doesn't have a bundle inventory problem. I can't understand Shopify's negligence here.
Having built my infrastructure on Shopify from the beginning, I will continue to use it for a while. But if this nonsense continues, I will definitely delete it.
Imagine a company that directs you to paid applications for every broken infrastructure problem. Its name is Shopify.

definitely a good starting point in theory, but when in comes to practice...
when I create a bundle of 6 products, my POD partner won't get the information of each 6 SKUs, but only the (self-created) SKU of the bundle, which he can't use in our fully automated process.
AND: if I create a bundle with products of multiple variants, e.g. 3 products with 3 sizes each, my customers are not able to select the size for each product in the bundle. only one product in one size can be selected - and the price doesn't change either...

Why can't I Publish products on Sales Channels?

Seems helpful at first, then you find the glaring issues that Shopify refuses to fix: You cannot sell bundled items on ANY sales channel including SHOPIFY POS! No FB. No Google. No IG. No Pinterest. The items simply do not migrate. Shopify support knows this problem. Because these issues directly and significantly impact sales, there are multiple blog posts regarding this issue. Shopify has not fixed it. Do not use this app.

I’m really frustrated with the Shopify Bundles app. It doesn’t make any sense that we can’t just take an existing product and turn it into a Bundle. We’ve already got a bunch of Bundles set up with another app, and having to create new products just to use with the Shopify Bundles app means we’d lose all the sales history for those products. This is causing us a lot of unnecessary hassle. It would be so much easier if we could just convert existing products into Bundles without losing any data.
