Shopify Bundles

The Bundler app has revolutionised my raw dog food business! In the past, managing inventory for mix boxes was a major headache. For example, if I had 32 beef minces in stock but 10 mix boxes each containing 3 beef, I'd only have 2 individual minces available for customers wanting to buy single blocks. This also meant I was severely limiting sales of my mix boxes due to underestimating how many I could actually make with my stock levels.

The Bundler app solved this problem by accurately accounting for products used in mix boxes. Now, the app automatically calculates and displays the maximum number of mix boxes available based on my current stock levels, boosting potential sales significantly. If I have enough to make 20 boxes, it will accurately show 20 in stock rather than the 3 or 4 I used to manually list, preventing customers from assuming low stock levels when they could easily build their own mix box from our ample individual ingredient stock.

Additionally, the app effortlessly handles different variations within each box, something I used to track manually. Now, when someone buys a mix box, the app automatically updates individual product levels, making packing a breeze for other people, not just me. This app has been a lifesaver, streamlining my stock management and allowing me to offer more flexible options to my customers while boosting sales and efficiency.

Bug/Error? I have a bundle that I want to apply custom shipping profile too. The items within the bundle are otherwise part of the general shipping profile.
I can assign the bundle to my custom shipping profile. When checking out, the shipping rate shown is not the custom one, but the general profile.

Original Review: This app is a start, but for something that should be CORE functionality in a marketplace platform, it really underdelivers.

My biggest surprise... Doesn't support POS. Online only.

Not compatible with Google Merchant center. You can't publish bundle on Google Shopping....

Like other's have said, this is a great app if you're needing simple bundles. However, there are a couple of glaring shortcomings that make it less convenient to use. Firstly, if you make bundles with this app they are not eligible to be sold in the Buy Button channel. Additionally, I have not figured out (if it's possible) how to use a product in more than one bundle.

It doesn't work with Shopify POS!! A complete waste of time for us. I just lost 3 hours setting this up and now I need to change it back the way it was. Very frustrating!

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

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.

The functionality in this app is very useful (at least the idea is), but unfortunately the app is annoying and frustrating to work with.
- It is not possible to change the position of the (bundled) variant options. Only way to do this is to remove and create the bundle again.
- No bulk editor
- It always creates a completely new product, and all settings and data from the original products must be added again one by one (weight, purchase price, etc.).

We've been running the bundles app for a couple of months now and while it's a great addition to our shopify store there are some issues that need to be addressed for it to be a reliable tool in complicated fulfillment environments. If you have a simple store with inventory stored and shipped from a single location you probably won't encounter any of the issues I've had. My main complaints are that I can't track bundle sales by sku or tag and any time a fulfillment location is removed from a product it causes all the bundles associated with that product to show zero stock when stock is still available at other locations. I also just discovered that using a mix of physical and digital products in the same bundles can cause some customers to not be able to check out.

Works great, but is lacking basic functionally of having options with zero quantity (optional products). Bundle options are mandatory Qty 1 or more.
This results in this app being only suitable for static bundles!

I can't believe that Shopify has no way to create bundles with optional products. This is lacking in basic funnicatonly e.g. Would you like fries with that!!!

Shopify supports answer is to buy an app that supports options.
