Shopify Bundle & incompatibility with Social Media

[SeleneS]

Hi everyone, 

I've recently started my e-commerce business which is currently focused on one single product, for which I sell different quantities in 4 different colors. To showcase them, I needed a solution that would allow me to

1. create quantity variants for each color
2. and (very important!) to be synced with the inventory so that, regardless of the quality variant picked by the customer, the inventory would be correctly and automatically synchronized.

And for this I found Shopify Bundle to be a great solution for my current needs.

However, the problem is that Shopify Bundle doesn't connect to social media; therefore I cannot use social shop anymore. I thought about creating a product only to be used on social media (therefore hidden from the website), but to be active on social media it must be active on the online shop too and, if active, you cannot hide it: I have the product bundle page for each color, so I don't want create confusion.

Any idea on how I could solve the issue, considering

1. I need the bundle on my website
2. my budget is limited so I cannot get expensive apps now.

Thanks a lot for your help! 😉

PS: I've spoken with Shopify Customer Service and they said they've added this problem to the list of future development. Let's hope they fix this problem soon for everyone! 🤞

I built a workflow that syncs bundle component inventory, so that you can use regular products/variants and have the inventory sync'd up:

Hello @SeleneS,

I'm Camila from Simple Bundles & Kits, and I'm glad to let you know that with our app, you can create multipacks of 4, 8, 16, or more and still be able to offer this on social media apps!

The bundle looks like a typical product page, and the items in that set are associated with that same single product so that inventory is accurately managed. This should take only a couple of minutes to set up.

Below, you can see a bundle example of the different ways you can set the price of each pack. You can manually set it or synchronize the price based on the products in it.

Here's a video walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcqm08_F9CY&ab_channel=FreshlyCommerce.

You won’t need to create a bundle for your online store and another to offer it on your social media; one bundle will suffice to display your product on different platforms while you use our free plan.

May I ask which social media platform you are using to offer your products?

We’ll be delighted to assist you with the bundle setup and provide you with more information!

Warm regards,
Camila
