Shopify Bundles

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.

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).

Whoa there buster! Shopify tells us this App is FREE, however, I see a price of $79. Is this the Canadian Price? Or the “Dawn Price”? Or is this just an underhanded, slide it under the table Price? Shopify Templates are already overpriced in my opinion. As a senior citizen, I’m already on the fence about Shopify because of the difficulty of setting up my shop using confusing & difficult to use templates….!

Excited to see this expand and evolve, but we can't use it as it stands now. We're revisiting this app in the future and hopefully some of the cons here will have been worked out.

Pros:
1- Auto price calculation and updating.
2- Might provide more accurate stock or less discrepancies ( which happen already very rarely with the other bundles app we use).
3- You can see that the line items are bundles in Shopify. You can't see this in the other app we use.

Cons:
1- Can't show in any sale channel except online store, no POS and no IG social media. So it's affecting instagram marketing.

2- The line item "type" takes the "type" from components and doesn't have its own. This causes issues with our email flows so people don't receive an associated email we have set up. Changing the product type or tags on the components would affect all of our other collections conditions.

3- Stock tracking and adjustment history and committed orders don't show on the kit line item which makes stock investigations a bit more complex.

4- App feel like a work in progress features-wise

5- Bulk edit doesn't work on some of the features so we have to use another app for edits like the weight.

6- Can't be used on a pre-existing line item which means we would have to re-do ALL existing bundles. The investment of this work is high.

7- Printed invoices don't reflect that the customer has bought a bundle so it makes pulling and organizing orders harder (especially if it's a launch with bundles from different pulling locations in addition to non-bundled items).

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.

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.

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 nicely laid out, however, pricing is a big issue. When pricing is updated for the child products, it does not automatically update on the bundle page. You have to go into the bundle product and hit 'Save and Continue' to get the pricing to recalculate. Clearly the code is in place for the bundle product pricing to calculate off of it's child products - it needing to be triggered manually is incredibly clunky and is ineffective for stores updating pricing via imports.

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.

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.
