Item Quantity based discount not counting sub items (bundles)

Topic summary

A user is trying to make sub-items within Shopify Bundles count toward quantity-based discounts without using Shopify Plus scripts. The screenshots show bundle products and quantity discount settings that aren’t recognizing individual items within bundles.

Proposed Solutions:

Multiple third-party apps were recommended as alternatives:

  • Bundler or Bundle Products apps – Can handle bundle and quantity-based discounts together
  • BOGOS: Free Gift Bundle Upsell – Offers a “Classic Bundle” feature with a “bundle as a product” option (free plan available)
  • Fast bundle app – Suggested as another bundling solution
  • Profit Bundles & Mystery Boxes – Allows showing child items at checkout or adding them post-order, supports quantity discounts on native Shopify products, includes a free plan for testing

Another suggestion involved using discount codes that apply based on cart quantity.

Hello, I’m using Shopify Bundles to allow customers to buy multiple items in a bundle. I want the sub-items within the bundles to contribute towards item quantity based discounts. Is this possible without Shopify Plus scripts? Thanks.

Hi,

Seems like it is possible without Shopify Plus scripts. You can go with apps like Bundler or Bundle Products and discounts can handle bundle and quantity-based discounts.

Another thing you can do is “use of discount codes that apply based on the quantity of items in the cart”

Hi @JHpe :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :light_blue_heart: This BOGOS: Free Gift Bundle Upsell app can do exactly what you want with its Classic Bundle feature. Free plan available!

When setting up classic bundle, tick on bundle as a product to make the result as image below.

I recommend Fast bundle app.

Hi @JHpe

I understand your requirements. You can try out the Profit Bundles & Mystery Boxes app. With this app, you have the option to either show the child items during checkout or add them post–order creation. You can also apply discounts on quantities as per your requirements.

I’d also like to mention that since these are native Shopify products, it’s easy to apply quantity-based discounts. The app comes with a great free welcome plan, which allows you to create unlimited bundles and test how the app processes these bundles without any paywall or cost. Once you are convinced, you can then move to a paid plan as needed.
