It gives customers a discount when they buy multiple items together, whether it’s two of the same product, a pair of related items, or a mix of several. It’s a simple, effective way to boost sales and help shoppers save.

Classic bundle examples:

- Buy 2 units of the same item and get 10% off

- Buy at least 5 products of your choice and get 15% off
