(Shopify Bundles) hide bundles in checkout

[thereisnodana]

Hello everyone,

I sell clothing and accessories with my designs and I'm currently in the process of setting up my store. Each item is made-to-order so I want to track the components of each product - the blank garment plus the heat transfer - as opposed to finished products on hand. I've set up one master listing (hidden from the shop) for all of the blank tshirts with color and size variants, and individual products for each custom design transfer (again, hidden from the shop). I'm then creating bundles of each design + the master tshirt listing using the free Shopify Bundles app and these are the products that appear on the storefront.

This works really well for what I need because then each order contains two line items per product and helps making picking really simple while also tracking the inventory exactly how I need it to.

The only problem is the checkout page - I really don't want the two bundled items to appear under each final product (see example photo of a dummy product). Is there a way to hide this from checkout? I'm pretty familiar with making changes to theme files.

I am open to switching to a different app or solution to achieve what I want, but if I'm going to pay for an app it has to do exactly what I need it to and be just as simple as the free Shopify one for setting things up variant-wise. I have trialed probably 10-12 different apps and could not find one that ticks all the boxes.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @thereisnodana 
You can look at checkout extensibility (but this is available only for shopify plus plan).

Hey, @Ihor-Sh 

At this time, this is expected behavior for how our app displays bundles at the checkout page. Due to our checkout security settings, the checkout has limited customizations that can be done which wouldn't allow you from altering how this app displays the bundle. 

As @Ihor-Sh mentioned above, using Checkout Extensibility (Shopify Plus feature) would offer a solution to this. 

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

No, I'm afraid the components cannot be hidden in the Shopify Bundles app. This is the latest built-in feature called cart transformation, which expands the bundle SKU into the individual product SKUs. If the child components are hidden, customers don't know what they've selected in the bundle.

@thereisnodana , did you get any luck finding a solution/alternative? I have the exact same question/problem with my store.

Hey @thereisnodana & @LPTAU,

Hope you're both doing great! If you're open to a different approach, I have an app that lets you configure items to be added after the order is placed which should be much less confusing for your customers and hopefully even help with conversion rates!

I'm happy to help you build out the exact behavior you're looking for and make sure this works seamlessly since it's a problem I see a lot.

Here's a short video showing me configuring the behavior like you described: 

Thanks,

Hello @thereisnodana
If you haven’t found a solution and If you’re looking for another approach, Simple Bundles 1.0 is a great fit! The app allows you to bundle products together and manage them as a single unit, which help you maintain the streamlined checkout experience you’re aiming without displaying the line items at checkout.

See how this looks in the check-out:

The components gets modified after the order is placed in this manner which I believe answers what you were looking for. Fulfillment shouldn’t pose any problems on the back-end, as the parent bundle can be fulfilled automatically, simplifying the packing process for your team. Although you'll be prompted to install the Simple Bundles 2.0 version by default, migrating back to the legacy version (Simple Bundles 1.0) is quite straightforward.

Contact Simple Bundles (getfreshly.io) or reply to this thread if you have more questions.

Thank you!

Ellie C.
