Shopify Bundles app alternative: when you need more than fixed bundles

Shopify Bundles is free and made by Shopify, and for a simple kit it can be all you need. Its limits show up when you sell variants, want tiers like 'buy 2, save 10%', or want the offer on the product page.

What Shopify Bundles does well

  • It's free and maintained by Shopify.
  • Fixed bundles of up to 30 components, and mix-and-match style bundles of up to 150.
  • Inventory is taken from the component products, and orders list each item's SKU.
  • It sells on the Online Store, Shop, POS and headless storefronts.

Limits in Shopify's own documentation

  • 3 options and 100 variants per bundle. Two T-shirts with Style and Size can already go past that.
  • The bundle price doesn't follow your product prices. When a component's price changes, you edit the bundle price by hand.
  • A bundle is a separate product. It needs its own images and description, and it starts with no reviews or search history.
  • Bundles don't appear in option filters in Search & Discovery.
  • Inventory is tracked as overall stock, not by location.

When another app is the better fit

  • You want tiers: buy 2 save 10%, buy 3 save 20%.
  • You want the offer on the product page, next to Add to cart, using the products you already have.
  • You want buy X get Y, free gifts that unlock as the cart grows, or a bulk order table.
  • You want the bundle price to follow your product prices as a percentage off.

How ZS Bundles handles it

  1. Install ZS Bundles and press Turn on in theme, then Save in the theme editor.
  2. Click Create bundle deal and pick a template. Complete the bundle is a fixed set; Quantity breaks and Black Friday deal are tiers.
  3. The bundle starts with the product you previewed. Adjust the saving as a percentage, so it follows your prices.
  4. Publish. Shopify applies the price at checkout. No discount code needed.

Every bundle type is on the free plan, with one bundle live at a time. Starter ($12.99 a month, 14-day trial) runs as many as you like.
