How to 'force' two products to be bundled in cart

Store Design
1

I have a use case as follows:

  • When a customer buys Product X, I want to add Product Y automatically with a 100% free discount code

  • I currently achieve this by using the ‘Infinite Options’ plugin to add the extra product through a single-option dropdown

  • However, if the user in the cart increases the volume of Product X by +1, the volume of Product Y is unchanged

Is there a way to ‘bundle’ Product X and Y so they are always increased/decreased in volume in tandem?

I want them to have separate item numbers in the system since they reflect separate products that need separate invoice lines.

Hi @mfcss ,

You can contact the following app for it:

Or you can hire an expert for it, this can be added directly with the code, instead of installing the app. Refer group: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-Ecommerce-Jobs/bd-p/shopify-job-board

Hope it helps!

Hi

What you can do is use a bundle app whereby the components are managed in the background so the product a buyer purchases is described as containing 2 different items but during checkout only the one order line displays. This means any multiples of the bundle are also multiples of each component.

There are 3 main features of our app that could help achieve what you are after:

1. Discount Code Compatible

As the bundle is shown as one order line in checkout we don’t need to use any discount codes to adjust price. This lets the buyer add a discount code themselves that applies to whole order.

2. Inventory Management

Our app lets you connect up products to correct SKUs and we then update the bundle inventory based on the component stock level.

3. Order Fulfilment

When you sell one of the bundles the master stock level won’t reduce automatically. What our app does is update the order post purchase by replacing the order line with the Single SKU as order line which then reduces that stock. This then feeds into point 1 above where it updates all linked variants.

If you need help in setting up and testing please get in touch. You can also find our guide here:

Thanks for the plugin tips. I am looking for a far more basic solution if one exists, i.e. I just want specific products to be added in ‘tandem’ so as to ensure a customer cannot buy 2 pcs of X without also having 2 pcs of Y in his cart.

Hi @mfcss

This is Jun from Bundle Kit.

Just in case you’re looking for an app, our app is able to meet your needs as it is primarily a bundle inventory management system so it will also be able to track the SKUs for variants of each product.

The bundle inventory is automatically set based on the available inventories of the bundle item(s), including the inventories of the variants. Proper quantity will also be taken out of the inventory of each bundle that is being purchased.

You can create bundles using our app. We have step-by-step instructions here: https://help.bundlekit.io/creating-a-multi-pack-bundle

Let us know if you have any questions.
