Getting started with Better Bundles

Welcome to Better Bundles! This guide explains how the app works and walks you through installation and initial setup. The short version: bundles are real Shopify products, discounts are applied by Shopify's own checkout infrastructure, and there’s nothing to install in your theme.

How Better Bundles works

Each bundle you create becomes a real product in your catalog, with its own product page, price, and URL. Customers add it to cart like any other product. At checkout, the bundle expands into its real component products with your configured discount allocated across them — so orders, packing slips, and fulfillment can show actual SKUs.

Install the app

1. Install Better Bundles from the Shopify App Store at apps.shopify.com/better-bundles.
2. Approve the requested permissions.
3. You'll land in the Better Bundles dashboard inside your Shopify admin.

During installation the app automatically registers its two checkout functions with your store: a Cart Transform (which expands bundles into components) and a Discount Function (which handles order-level discounts). You can verify both are active under Settings → Checkout functions.

Configure your defaults

Head to Settings to set sensible defaults before creating your first bundle:

• Default pricing style — how new bundles are priced (percentage off, amount off, fixed price, or item-based).
• Discount application — whether discounts are applied to the products in the bundle or to the order at checkout.
• Bundle product defaults — the theme template, product type, and tags applied to new bundle products.
• Inventory locations — which locations count toward bundle availability.
