Use case

Gift with purchase packs on Shopify

GWP works when the gift is honest at checkout: the free item absorbs the savings, paid items keep clean prices, and stock decrements the SKUs that actually ship.

The GWP pattern that converts

Pair a bestseller with a low-cost companion or sample. Price the pack so the gift feels free, publish one product page, and let checkout expand the pack into components. Free-item allocation in Better Bundles is built for this — the discount lands on gift lines first.

How to set it up in Better Bundles

  1. Install Better Bundles and open Create bundle
  2. Add the paid hero product plus the gift component
  3. Choose free-item (or item-based) pricing so the gift absorbs savings
  4. Preview allocation, set Active, and publish the draft Shopify product
  5. Run a test checkout and confirm line items + inventory look right

Watch-outs

  • Keep gift COGS low enough that the offer still improves contribution margin
  • Monitor gift stock — pack availability follows component inventory
  • Start with one hero GWP before proliferating seasonal variants
