Shopify bundle app guide
Find a Shopify bundle app that matches the way you sell.
First decide what kind of bundle you want to offer and what your warehouse needs to see. A fixed pack needs far less software than a build-your-own box or a complex kit.
The quick answer
Which option should you try first?
For fixed bundles and multipacks, try Shopify Bundles first. Consider Fast Bundle if customers need more ways to build or buy bundles. Consider Simple Bundles & Kits when your warehouse or inventory system must track every item inside a kit.
Before you compare apps
Decide these four things first.
Your answers will show whether Shopify's own tools are enough and which paid options are worth considering.
What can customers choose?
A fixed pack, a multipack and a build-your-own box each need a different setup.
What must your warehouse see?
Decide whether orders should show one bundle product code (SKU), every item inside the bundle or both.
Will you sell bundles as subscriptions?
Shopify's own bundle app has limits when bundles are combined with subscriptions or pre-orders. Check this before choosing an app.
How will you know it worked?
Choose one clear measure, such as average order value, product sell-through or fewer packing errors.
Best fit by situation

Frequently asked questions
Common questions before you choose.
What is the best free Shopify bundle app?
For a straightforward fixed bundle or multipack, Shopify Bundles is the sensible first option because it is first-party and free. It is not automatically the right choice for mix-and-match, complex kits or subscription bundles.
Do I need a bundle app on Shopify?
Yes. Shopify uses an app to create product bundles. Start by checking whether Shopify's free Bundles app can create the type of offer you need.
Can Shopify Bundles create mix-and-match bundles?
No. Shopify says its own Bundles app does not support mix-and-match bundles. You will need to compare third-party apps if customers must choose what's included.
How should I compare Shopify bundle apps?
Compare the bundle types, stock tracking, warehouse output, returns, compatibility, setup work and expected business value.
