How to set up a bundle discount without discount codes or dummy products?

Store Design
,

Topic summary

Goal: Allow customers to build a 4-flavor chocolate bundle with an automatic 10% discount, without using discount codes or dummy products.

Initial hurdles:

  • Discount-code solutions conflicted with other promotions because code stacking isn’t possible.
  • Dummy/variant-based bundles split items with 100% discounts, causing analytics distortion and losing original product categories/tags.

Resolution implemented:

  • Duplicated the relevant products with the discounted pricing specifically for the bundle builder.
  • Used an app that “splits” the duplicated bundle items back into the original products at checkout/order processing, ensuring correct inventory tracking and accurate analytics attribution.

Status: Resolved. The final setup avoids discount codes, preserves product metadata, and maintains accurate stock and reporting while delivering the 10% bundle discount for four chosen flavors.

Hi!

We sell chocolates. I want our customers to pick and choose different flavors to build their own bundle. When they choose four flavors they should receive 10% discount.

While setting this up with different apps or Shopify I am running into two problems:

  1. Either the solution works with a discount code. This does not work because then our customers can not use other discount codes because stacking is not possible.

  2. Or the solution works with creating dummy products with variants. Theses solutions show the bundle with the 10% discount and for tracking purposes splits up the bundle into the individual items but with 100% discount to not double charge. This does also not work because the dummies do not contain the categories and tags of the original product and the products with 100% discount skew our analytics.

→ I need a solution that allows my customers to pick and choose 4 different flavors to receive 10% discount without using discount codes and without creating dummies.

If anyone knows, PLEASE reach out. I am desperate :slightly_smiling_face:

Solved! I duplicated the products the bundle builder with a discounted price. To track inventory and analytics correctly I use an app that “splits” the duplicated products into the original product (what you would use for a normal bundle that contains many different products but is shown as a single product).
