Discount Logic
Want to offer discounts on your product bundles but not sure how it works? You're in the right place.
BundleSuite gives you flexible discount options that are easy to set up — even if you’re new to Shopify or bundling. Let’s walk through how discounts work for each bundle type, what to expect, and some smart ways to make your offers irresistible.
First: What is a Bundle Discount?
When you sell multiple products together in a bundle, you can offer your customers a better deal — like:
“Buy 2, Get 1 Free”
“Save 15% on this Kit”
“Flat $100 Off”
"Buy 3 T-shirts at $99"
This is called a bundle discount, and BundleSuite gives you full control over how it's applied.
Types of Discounts You Can Offer
Here’s a simple breakdown of the types of discounts you can use in different bundle formats:
🎁 Bundle Type
✅ Discount Options
💬 Examples
Build Your Own Box (BYOB)
% Off, ₹ Off, Tiered Pricing, Fixed Price, Per Item
“Buy 3 items, get 20% off”
Standard Combo Bundle
% Off, ₹ Off
“Flat ₹100 off on this combo”
Advanced Combo Bundle
Fixed Total Price (set manually)
“This custom set for just ₹999”
Volume Discount Bundle
Tiered/Step Pricing
“Buy 5+, get 30% off”
Don't worry if that looks like a lot — we’ll break each one down.
How Discount Logic Works (Bundle by Bundle)
1️⃣ Build Your Own Box (BYOB)
Let customers create their own bundles — and offer them a deal as they add more items.
You can offer:
Fixed amount off (e.g. ₹100 off)
Tiered discounts (e.g. Buy 2, get 10% — Buy 4, get 20%)
Fixed bundle price (e.g. “Any 3 items for ₹999”)
Per Item Discounts (e.g. "Spend $100 — Save $10 per item")
Real example:
You're selling skincare. Let shoppers choose any 3 products — and they get them all for ₹1,199 total.
👉 You set this up from the BYOB bundle editor under “Discount Settings.”
2️⃣ Standard Combo Bundle
You choose the products and offer a discount on the whole set.
Supports:
% Off
₹ Off
No Discount
Doesn’t support tiered pricing or fixed total price
Real example:
You create a “Morning Routine Combo” with a cleanser, toner, and sunscreen — and offer 15% off the full price.
3️⃣ Advanced Combo Bundle
You build a custom set with lots of variation options — and set your own price.
This is best when you want full control.
You set the total price manually (no automatic discounting)
Use this if your bundle options are too complex for Shopify's normal pricing
Real example:
You sell a personalized gift box with 10 different items — priced at ₹2,500. You don’t want any auto calculations.
4️⃣ Volume Discount Bundle
Encourage customers to buy more of the same product.
Great for:
Bulk pricing
Flash sales
BOGO offers
You can set:
Quantity tiers (e.g. Buy 3, Save 10%)
“Buy 1 Get 1 Free” style offers
Large Quantity Sales
Real example:
You're selling coffee sachets. If a customer buys 10+, they get 25% off.
👉 You’ll set this from the Volume Discount dashboard in the app.
Automatic Pricing vs Manual Control
Auto price from product prices

You set bundle price manually

💡 Tip: Use auto pricing if you want the app to calculate the final price based on selected items.
Use manual pricing if you want to offer a flat deal like “Get it all for ₹999.”
Shopify Limitations to Keep in Mind
BundleSuite works directly with Shopify’s cart and checkout system. But:
🚫 If you're using external checkout systems (like GoKwik or Razorpay custom flows), some bundle logic might not work correctly.
To get the best experience, use Shopify’s native checkout.
📌 Bundles that show as one item in the cart (with discount built-in) use Shopify’s Cart Transform API. This is a powerful feature — but it only works on Shopify Checkout.
Smart Discount Tips (Even for Beginners)
Use tiered discounts in BYOB or Volume bundles to encourage larger orders
E.g., “Buy 3 – Save 10%, Buy 5 – Save 20%”
Use Standard Combo for gift sets or curated combos
E.g., “Flat 15% off on this Self-Care Kit”
Use Advanced Combo when you need full control over price or want to offer personalization
Always preview your bundle to see how the price appears to your customer before publishing
❓FAQs
Q: Can I apply more than one discount to a bundle?
A: No — only one discount type per bundle is supported.
Q: Will customers see the discount automatically?
A: Yes — the discount is applied and shown clearly on the product and in the cart.
Q: Can I combine BundleSuite discounts with Shopify automatic discounts?
A: No — Shopify only allows one active automatic discount at a time.
Use BundleSuite’s built-in discount settings instead.
Q: How is pricing calculated in BYOB bundles?
BYOB uses proportional pricing, meaning each product’s price is used to calculate the final total. If you’ve set a fixed price rule, that will override it.
Q: If I change a product’s price, will the bundle price update automatically?
No. You’ll need to update the bundle price manually.
