Create variety pack discount bundles

Learn how to create variety back discount bundles in your Shopify store

Written by Andrey Gadashevich

A variety pack discount bundle gives a discount when customers buy a mix of different items which is great for trying new things or building a custom set.

Example: Buy 3 different items = 5% off, 6 = 10%, 12 = 15%

Note: You can A/B test each bundle you create. You can create up to 4 versions, test each version performance, and iterate.

To create a version to test, click on the "Add variant" on the top right of the editor:

Step 9: Configure Advanced Settings

Pre-select the first available product variant in the widget — When enabled, the first available variant is automatically selected for each product when the widget loads.

Display discount to customers from Compare-at price — When enabled, the discount shown to customers is calculated based on the Compare-at price rather than the app price.

Enable integration with subscription apps — Allows the bundle widget to work alongside subscription apps installed in your store. (Recommended: RecurrinGO).

Enable custom property field — Adds a custom input field to the widget for collecting additional information from the customer (e.g. a pet's name for a personalized bundle). When enabled, configure the following:

  • Field title — The label shown to customers above the input field.

  • Field help text — Optional placeholder or instructional text inside the field.

  • Make the field required — When checked, customers must fill in this field before they can add the bundle to cart.
