Bundle and subscription plugin suggestions

Topic summary

A store owner selling jigsaw puzzles seeks an app solution for two key features: bundling multiple puzzles with discounts (e.g., buy 2, save 20%/£10) and creating a subscription service that sends random puzzles monthly/quarterly without duplicates.

App Recommendations:

  • For bundles/upsells: OSCP Bundle & Upsell, Fast Bundle, and BOGOS (Free Gifts, Discounts & Bundles) are suggested
  • For subscriptions: Appstle Subscriptions, Recharge Subscriptions, and Bold Subscriptions are mentioned

Important Technical Limitation:
One respondent highlights a critical compatibility issue: Shopify’s bundle apps don’t work well with subscription apps, citing official Shopify developer documentation. They recommend using Shopify Functions-based discount apps combined with basic Shopify Subscriptions + Flows for the subscription component.

Alternative Approach:
Instead of full automation, starting with customer-selected subscriptions (rather than randomization) is suggested to save time and money, with randomization added later as the business grows.

The discussion remains open with offers for further technical assistance.

Hello,

I am building a store selling jigsaw puzzles, so 1 product type with an unlimited possibility of variations/skus. I am looking for a plugin that will help me do the following:

  1. bundle/upsell jigsaw puzzles together possibly from the same collection - eg. Bundle 2 jigsaws and get 20% off/save £10

  2. set up a monthly or quarterly subscription model which would send the customer a random puzzle from my inventory and keep track of that so they don’t get the same puzzle twice

Thank you, any help would be much appreciated :+1:

Hi @Sammy_puzzle ,

You’re looking for a Shopify app that can:

  1. Bundle & Upsell – Allow customers to bundle jigsaw puzzles (possibly from the same collection) and get a discount (e.g., buy 2, save £10).
  2. Subscription Model – Set up a monthly/quarterly subscription that sends a random puzzle while ensuring no repeats.

For bundles & upsells, consider:

For subscriptions, consider:

  • Appstle Subscriptions
  • Recharge Subscriptions
  • Bold Subscriptions

Hey @Sammy_puzzle , there’s a bunch of responses here, and they lack a bit of nuance and you’ll find out Bundle apps do not play well with subscriptions.

It’s documented in thier dev docs. I’ve attached the link for your reading

https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/product-merchandising/bundles#limitations

For the bundle builder aspect, you can set it up as follows using any Shopify functions based discount app (we have an app that does this) + a bit of customisation in your collection page which can be done fairly easily.

  1. On our app, you’d set up a rule in our configurator which goes like - If customer buys 2 jigsaws on subscription, get X$ / % off for those items.
  2. Then comes the subscription part, it’s possible to set up this experience using the most basic Shopify subscription app + Flows if you have some technical chops
    • Else you’ll need an alternative that solves for the randomisation aspect - most don’t. But I suggest letting the user choose just to start with and then building the randomisation aspect as you go. You’ll save a lot of time and money this way.

Your question was super easy for me to understand and the way you presented it was also straightforward, Our team has experience working in the discounts, loyalty and subscription space and would be happy to help further if required.

Feel free to reach out if you have any queries / questions.
