Product Bundles

Sell products as a bundle or package

Customers love bundles, especially if there is a saving versus buying all the components individually. Bundles can encourage customers to buy more items than they would have otherwise.

The Limitations of Bundle Apps

There are apps available for creating product bundles but finding one that perfectly fits your business can be tricky. In the case of Shopify's Bundles app it has some limitations... there is no way to automatically display the list of products included in the bundle. You have to manually add that into the bundle's product description and, when the details of included products change, you need to update the bundle description. A custom solution can be a better approach because it can be setup to work exactly how you need without manual updating.

Coastal Distribution used a custom solution for creating accessory packages to show an auto-generated and always up-to-date list of the products included. See it in action →

How It Works

Using a custom metafield any product can have multiple Included Products associated with it. A special product page template for bundle products loops through all the included products and lists them along with their images, descriptions and prices. When any of the included product details change the list is updated automatically.
