Bundles Feature - User Guide

What are Bundles?

Bundles allow you to group multiple product variants together into a single package that customers can purchase. This feature helps you create product combinations, offer value deals, and increase your average order value.

Key Benefits:

Create fixed product combinations (e.g., "Starter Kit" with multiple items)
Set specific quantities for each item in the bundle
Maintain inventory control at the individual variant level
Increase sales through strategic product groupings

How Bundles Work

Shopify's platform provides two built-in approaches to bundling. There are also alternative apps that manage bundles outside of Shopify's platform. These alternative apps may interfere with AccelPay's order ingestion and we do not recommend their use.

Here are Shopify's built-in approaches:

1. variant-level bundles

Select specific variations of your products (like size, color, or style) to put in the bundle. You have precise control over what goes into each bundle.

Example

Drink & T-Shirt Combo

1x 750ml Bottle of Tequila
1x Large T-Shirt

2. product-level bundles

Select a product and the buyer will select a specific variation. The buyer decides what variations their bundle is composed of.

Example

Drink & T-Shirt Combo

1x 750ml Bottle (buyer selects from Tequila or Reposado)
1x T-Shirt (buyer selects from Small, Medium, or Large)

Our app is designed to create and manage variant level bundles. If you need product level bundling, then we suggest also installing another bundling app like the one Shopify provides . You can have a mix of product and variant level bundles in your store, so using both our app and the Shopify bundling app should not cause any issues.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Your Shopify store must be eligible for bundle features
You need existing products in your Shopify store to create bundles from

Step 1: Create Your Bundle Product

Before using this tool, create a new product in Shopify that will represent your bundle (e.g., "Summer Essentials Bundle" or "Starter Kit").

Step 2: Set Up Your Bundle

Navigate to the Bundles section of the AccelPay app in your app dashboard
Select your bundle product from the dropdown menu
Click "Create new bundle" to start configuring your bundle

Step 3: Add Components to Your Bundle

Click "Add Component" to add a new component to the bundle
Select Product, Variant, and Quantity in the modal that opens select the product, variant and quantity of the component you want added to the bundle.
Click "Save" to add the specified component.
Click "Save" to apply the bundle changes

Managing Your Bundles

Viewing Existing Bundles

All the bundles you've created through our app are displayed in the "Current Bundles" section. You can edit them by clicking the edit button on the right.

Editing Bundle Components

To modify an existing bundle:

Click the edit button for the bundle you want to edit
Add new components the same way as adding them when creating a bundle.

Remove components by clicking the checkbox to the left of the component then selecting Delete from the Actions menu
Click "Save" to update your bundle

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Can't see bundle option: Check if your store is eligible for bundle features. Not all Shopify tiers have bundle capabilities. If yours does not, we provide an alternative approach called "Collections" that your account rep can help you set up.
Product not appearing: Ensure the product exists in Shopify first before creating a bundle
Changes not saving: Check for error messages.
Bundle not showing in store: Verify the bundle is properly configured and active

Getting Further Help
