Shopify Bundling Bonanza: Apps & Custom Code to Boost Your Sales
Unlocking the Power of Product Bundles on Shopify
Hey everyone! Ever wondered how to create those irresistible product bundles you see on other Shopify stores? It's a question that comes up a lot, and recently, a store owner named technase jumped into the Shopify Community forum with a great question: "Can anyone tell which app is being used for the bundles on this product page, or recommend an app that offers a similar layout?" They even shared an example from Hugger Comfort, which definitely helped to understand the desired look.
Exploring App Options for Shopify Bundles
The community really stepped up with some great suggestions! Several apps were thrown into the mix, each with its own strengths. Here's a rundown of what was recommended:
- Bundler ‑ Product Bundles, PickyStory, and Bundle Builder: Coding-with-Jan suggested these as solid options, noting that the best choice depends on the complexity you're aiming for.
- Frequently Bought Together or Bold Bundles / Bold Upsell: dolia_goprofit highlighted these for creating preset bundle offers with combined pricing displayed directly on the product page.
- Profit Bundles: Leena_1994 suggested this app, emphasizing its compatibility with Shopify's native variants and the fact that all features are available without a paywall. A product options app could be used alongside it for increased flexibility.
- Candy Rack: AnneLuo suggested this app, emphasizing its all-in-one upsell, cross-sell & bundle features.
M4rt1n also chimed in, confirming that apps like Bundler or PickyStory could achieve the desired layout, offering clean product bundles.
The Custom Code Route
Interestingly, daniel-dev pointed out that the Hugger Comfort site might actually be using custom code for their bundles! They even shared a screenshot:
Daniel-dev mentioned that creating something similar with custom code could be done relatively quickly. This opens up another avenue if you're comfortable with coding or working with a developer.
Choosing the Right Path for Your Store
So, what's the best approach? Well, it really depends on your needs and technical skills. If you're looking for a quick and easy solution, a dedicated bundle app is probably the way to go. The apps mentioned offer a range of features and price points, so it's worth exploring a few to see which one fits best.
However, if you want more control over the design and functionality, or if you have specific requirements that aren't met by existing apps, custom code might be a better option. Just keep in mind that this will likely require more time and effort, or the expense of hiring a developer.
Ultimately, the goal is to create bundles that are visually appealing, easy to understand, and encourage customers to buy more. Whether you achieve that with an app or custom code is up to you!
