Choose the right bundle type

Lime Bundles has six bundle types. Each one suits a different kind of offer. This guide helps you pick.

The Create a bundle page with all six bundle types

The quick answer

  • You want the bundle to be its own product with its own page: choose Bundle product.
  • You want to sell a set of products together: choose Fixed bundle.
  • You want shoppers to build their own from a list: choose Mix and match bundle.
  • You want shoppers to buy more of the same and save more: choose Volume bundle.
  • You want to reward a purchase with a free or discounted item: choose Buy X get Y bundle.
  • You want to guide shoppers step by step: choose Multi-step bundle.

Bundle product

A real product in your store, with its own page and price. Shoppers add it to the cart as one line. It sells everywhere your products sell.

Example: “The starter kit”, one product that holds a mug, a filter and a bag of coffee.

Good to know: it has no discount on Shopify’s Discounts page and no end date. See Bundle product: how it works and what to expect.

Fixed bundle

A set of products sold together at one discount. You decide what is in it and how many of each. It shows on your existing product pages.

Example: shampoo and conditioner together for 15% off.

Mix and match bundle

Shoppers choose their own items from products or collections you select. The discount applies when they have added the number of items you ask for.

Example: choose any 3 candles and save 20%.

Volume bundle

Bigger discounts as shoppers add more units. You set the tiers.

Example: buy 3 and save 5%, buy 6 and save 10%.

Buy X get Y bundle

Buying one product earns another at a discount, or free.

Example: buy a phone case, get a screen protector free.

Multi-step bundle

Shoppers move through named steps, and each step has its own products.

Example: step 1, choose a shampoo. Step 2, choose a conditioner. Step 3, choose a treatment.

What every type except Bundle product can do

Fixed, Mix and match, Volume, Buy X get Y and Multi-step bundles all show in the Lime Bundles app block on your product pages. They all support:

  • A start date and an end date.
  • A countdown timer.
  • Showing only in the markets you choose.
  • A/B testing.
  • Your own design in Customize.

A Bundle product is a real product, so Shopify runs most of this for it. It supports a start date, and a “What’s in the bundle” list on its product page that you can style in Customize.

Can I change the type later?

No. A bundle keeps the type you created it with. To try another type, create a new bundle.

Try a word you see in the app, like Sync failed, Customize or markets.
