Shopify Bundles

This app is great in theory, but because it’s incompatible with Scripts it is useless for all merchants on Shopify Plus.

Would love an update so that we can actually use it on our main store (we have it installed on an expansion store currently).

As it is free to use, if you are looking at trying bundles out, I would check it out. It doesn't do as much as I would like it to, but it does allow you to get started with bundles and have it up and running in a few minutes.

This is a great, but basic app that will help you increase your sales.

So this was rolled out in the SHOPIFY EDITIONS SUMMER 2023! Extravaganza, and shocker, it doesn't work. It is not compatible with our Shopify Plus store and support cannot provide any viable reasons why it is not working. Shopify, please please please make sure the apps are working and compatible with a majority of your customer's store before rolling out and announcing.

A great app that i feel more comfortable using as it is built and managed by Shopify. However, it is still buggy with some simple features, excluded. eg. your products need to be set to tracking inventory - we sell products will unlimited inventory (as we are the manufacturer) so this is just an odd requirement. Another, if you already have a bundle product and you want to add, replace or remove a product from the bundle, you have to create a new one instead of edit in the CMS.

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.

Earlier in the year we going to another platform to use bundles and have hung around because Shopify were launching this app. (We found all the third party bundle apps caused issues with theme updates.)
The Shopify App only does what it calls "fixed item bundles", with options that in reality what you could already achieve just using variants.
To make what it calls "mix and match bundles", or just "bundles" to the rest of us it sarcastically suggests that you download a third party bundle app...

Poor
"A bundle can't have more than 10 products, 3 bundle options, or 100 variants."

Instead of using bundles then we may as well just stick to the variants option! I was really REALLY excited for this, as all the apps iv used have glitches here and there, so for a proper shopify app i thought yes this solves all my issues!

To then find out that we have the exact same limitations as the variants.

Shopify - you NEED to open this up to unlimited options to make this worth while, this could be such an amazing app but until you drop the 100 variant limit its poor!

Seemed promising based on the Shopify announcement, but it's virtually useless for most stores for these 2 reasons as a starting point:

1) It combines the prices of the bundled items with no option to adjust the pricing. My assumption is that most stores would offer some form of reduced price for bundled products.

2) It does not respect the inventory levels of the smallest qty available item in the bundle. In other words, it displays the available qty according to the item in the bundle with the greatest number available. This will lead to over-selling bundles.

Maybe in time things will change, but user beware.

The good:
Easy to use and set-up new bundles
Displays fine, and the checkout process is really smooth for customers
Integrates well with our existing ERP system, and has saved a lot of time vs the workaround we had in place

What needs improving
Ability to convert existing product into a bundle (helpful for stores who have been using workarounds)
Reporting - only the individual products show in reports, but I want to know how a particular bundle has performed. This is critical in my opinion
Only works with "online store" - doesn't work with other sales channels. Again this is a big miss as it means bundles can't be shown on Google Shopping etc.

Thanks Shopify for launching this but it needs a lot of work before it works for me.

The pricing and weight information doesn't pull through from individual products to the bundle. This means that I have to manually add up the weights and prices associated with the bundle, and if I want to make changes to the weight or price of an individual product that's in a bundle, I have to do it in two locations (i.e. the product and bundle).

What's more, there's no option for customers to choose quantity 0 which is odd given that they can choose other quantities. This is really useful for recipe bundles where the customer already has some of the ingredients.
