Shopify Bundles

It's free, so it's hard to complain. But it is very limited. The digital downloads do not deliver, and Shopify themselves recommended a different bundle app to me if I wanted the downloads attached. I'm trying a work around by making the downloads their products and then adding them to the bundle since the download has to be attached to an item and not a bundle. It's also one bundle and not something the customer can pick and choose from items. So if you are looking for a bundle, this is not the one for you. It really helps us with inventory management vs when we tried to physically manage bundles on our end. ***updated - the workaround for the digital items worked in theory, but now the free digital items show as if the customer is charged for them, creating customer service issues. You get what you pay for, and the service by Shopify for this app might as well be nonexistent. Don't waste your time here find something good that actually works like it should.

missing a lot of key features that other bundle apps provide, for instance, the bundles only show on your online store they do not pull show on other sales channels.

Waited years for this, only to be disappointed by the lack features. The bundles not being available on outside sales channels renders it useless for us. Not pulling in individual variant costs is a pain, but I think there’s a workaround.

I’ll circle back once it’s available on all sales channels.

It's frustrating that the app keeps displaying my bundles as out of stock when they're clearly not. It seems to be a recurring glitch, and the workaround only offers a temporary fix, requiring about 20 minutes of manual adjustment each time. Constantly monitoring and fixing this issue is eating into valuable time and potentially costing me sales. Unless this glitch is resolved soon, I'll have no choice but to switch to a different app. It's imperative to address this promptly as it's directly impacting my business's revenue and customer experience.

There have been updates since my initial review! The app now does integrate with draft orders. The limit of products has been increased too.

Cons
1. Cannot specify different quantities for more than 3 products within a bundle.
2. Within the app admin, there aren't links through to the individual product's page, so you have to manually check details. Nor does it show the stock of the products which is relevant to whether you want to put it in a bundle!
3. When a bundle is added to a draft order, products aren't shown in-line in the same way normal product adds are, meaning no manual modification of quantities within the bundle.
4. When using a variety of quantity options, you have to add the bundle prices yourself despite the fact that Shopify has the individual unit prices so could automatically calculate it. Given that they allow up to 100 such variations, it would be very time-consuming to recalculate these myself.

Overall, still a clunky app. Hopefully these modifications are already on the product roadmap. Greater transparency on that would be helpful.

Would also be cool to add an option to transform a given Collection into a Bundle.

Pros
1. Integrates directly with the 'Products' section of the Shopify admin, allowing plenty of space to provide details.
2. Apparently the stock also integrates directly with the inventory tracking within the Shopify admin.
3. Integrates with draft order functionality (as of summer 2024).

I like this bundling allowing me to use custom SKUs for multipacks. A shame that it doesnt work with Draft Order a I need that. Would have been perfect otherwise.

The app is great, it works as it should. It's a shame it doesn't have a few additional features, but for a free app, it's fantastic! I recommend it.

Feedback:

Lack of creating bundles as variants with different quantities of a product (There is an "Amount" option as a variant, but you can't create sets like:
Variant 1:
Product A - 6x
Product B - 6x
Product C - 6x
Product D - 6x
Variant 2:
Product A - 12x
Product B - 12x
Product C - 12x
Product D - 12x)

You can't add a separate description for each variant, and it doesn't fetch already added descriptions.

How can i get support from the app developers?
My bundles are showing out of stock even though the individual items are all in stock! I tried contacting shopify support but that of no help at all.

SO SAD! Shopify makes an app that doesn't work with it's own platform.
Does not work if you have POS installed,
Shows inventory Sold Out when it's not
Support doesn't know and keeps pasting same message.. to check eligibility page - that page suggest to contact support if need help.

Other apps for $6.99 a month and work just fine.

Subscriptions App, Bundle App & Collaborator App all made by Shopify and don't work on Shopify.

Unfortunately I am also very disappointed by this app. It is not possible to show the individual products of the bundle on the side if the product has no variants / 1 variant. It only shows products with at least 2 variants. As this does not work (I also asked the support), the whole App is useless for me, very sad!
