Shopify Bundles

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.

It is fine for basic use if you have less than about 35 bundles. They really need to add a feature for updating the price when a constituent product price changes. If you have a small store and are starting out, it will work.

A bundle app built into Shopify is a great first step -- but this app is incredibly limited. Doesn't really replace any of the paid apps we need because what it does is so narrowly focused. I've been using it for a year now and am disappointed that more useful functionality doesn't exist for Product Add-ons, upsells, cross sells, etc.

The only thing we really use this for is to create bundles with a SKU that we can sync to Amazon. Otherwise Multipacks sold on Amazon would completely break our inventory count, and essentially showed that the Shopify inventory system was functionally broken. This app fixed that issue, but still leaves us paying for several other Bundle and Upsell apps monthly that offer full-featured bundle functionality.

When you create a bundle, it sets the price based on the chosen products.
There needs to be a feature for when an underlying product has their price changed, the bundle can also be updated with a one click button, or a toggle to allow this. Having to manually update pricing for these is incredibly cumbersome.

Bundles work great, when it works. Some update on Shopify's side broke the ability for a bundled product to work with both MetaFields and MetaObject driven pages/themes. Our use case is that we offer a product quiz to customers, which selects a specific product and size (but color doesn't matter). Bundles allow us to pre-select the size for customers, and we place that bundled product on a custom page. If your web page (where you embed the product) is driven from a metaobject or metafields link to the product, it won't work (shows out of stock, glitches). If you embed the product in the theme it works, but it means you need one theme per page/product (negates the benefits of metaobjects/fields). We escalated to support, but they kept blaming our customizations -- even though we're using the out of the box 'meta' features of Shopify. We're using Dawn btw.
