Combo Products in Bold Bundles

  • Updated

Combo Products are an optional feature of Bold Bundles. With the premium plan, you're able to create a Combo Product within Group type bundles in the Bundles admin.

Combo Products act as a placeholder for Group type bundles created in your store. A Combo Product is a new item that Bundles creates on a separate product page. This holds the place of the associated bundle's products, and lets your customers purchase an entire bundle by adding one product to their cart.

 


 

Functionality

Purchasing the Combo Product adds all the items associated with the bundle to the cart at once. In the cart, the bundle is separated into its individual products. This ensures that the inventory for each product that makes up the Combo Product bundle is reduced accordingly when the order has been purchased by your customer.

Alert

If any one of the items in your Combo Product is out of stock, your customers will not be able to purchase the bundle.

  • If you would like to continue selling while out of stock, please enable the setting within the Combo Product's page in Shopify to continue selling when out of stock
  • If you would like to hide the bundle while out of stock, please enable this setting within the app. Navigate to settings > display and select Hide bundles if the products have no more inventory.

A Combo Product is created as an individual product on your store and is displayed on the storefront similar to the following example.

Example

When the Combo Product is added into the cart, it is then split up into each product that makes up the bundle.

Setup

You can generate a Combo Product with Group type bundles, after you have selected your products within the bundle edit page.

Combo Product in the Bundles admin

For step-by-step instructions, please visit Create/Edit/Delete a Bundle and follow the steps under Create a Group Type Bundle.

Alert: Combo Products can only be created when the products that are selected in the group type bundle do not have ranging prices.

Example

  • Product A has three variants that are $15, $20, and $25 - a combo product cannot be created for a bundle that contains this item.
  • Product B has three variants that are all $20 - a combo product can be created for a bundle that contains this item.

 


 

FAQs

Can I offer combo products through other sales channels?

Note: Bundles is designed to function within Shopify's Online Store environment. We're not able to provide troubleshooting assistance with other sales channels. Combo products are also not compatible with the Shopify POS sales channel. Offering these items through Shopify POS causes issues with the inventory of the items contained in the combo product.

Combo products can be offered through other sales channels; with the exception of Shopify POS. When a combo product is sold through another channel, it's not broken up into the items that are associated with the bundle. This is because there is no cart page for the customer to land on that allows this to happen. Instead, the singular combo product is passed through the checkout and attached to the order.

The combo product notes, on the order, which items are needed for fulfillment through your Shopify admin.

Note: This is not compatible with order fulfillment apps (ex: Oberlo, TradeGecko, etc.). The products selected by the customer are only placed as a note on the order. They do not come through to your Shopify admin as individual items. Orders with combo products, sold through another sales channel, would need to be fulfilled manually.

To make these orders stand out in your Shopify admin, they're tagged with BUNDLES_COMBO_PRODUCT. The inventory is then deducted from each product that was purchased in the bundle.

Bundle products that have a variant selection use the default variant in stock for each of the products your customers select.

Note: Your customers are not able to select specific variants when offering combo products through other sales channels.

 

Can I use combo products if my products have variants?

Combo products can represent bundles that have variants attached to their items. The combo product page shows a variant selector to the customer with the associated products' names, as well as the quantities of each product.

The main restriction with this feature is that all of the variants on each product must be the same price. Bundles does not allow you to make a combo product if an item in the created bundle has variants that vary in price.

Example: Product A has three variants that are $15, $20, and $25 - a combo product could not be created for a bundle that contains this item. Product B has three variants that are all $20 - a combo product can be created for a bundle that contains this item.

 

What happens to the images on our products in combo product bundles?

All of the images for the products that the bundle is composed of get attached to the combo product. You can edit the combo product image from within the Products section of your Shopify admin.

Note: Do not edit the inventory or titles of the combo product. The combo product is simply a place holder for the individual products that make up the bundle. Product titles and inventory are dependent on the actual products which make up the bundle.
