(Shopify Bundles) hide bundles in checkout

Topic summary

A merchant is using Shopify’s free Bundles app to track made-to-order clothing components (blank garments + heat transfers) as separate inventory items while displaying finished products on the storefront. The system works well for inventory management and order picking, but bundle components are visibly listed at checkout, creating an undesirable customer experience.

Current Limitation:
The Shopify Bundles app displays component items at checkout due to cart transformation features, and this cannot be hidden without Shopify Plus. Multiple community members confirm this is expected behavior with limited customization options due to checkout security settings.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Checkout Extensibility (Shopify Plus only) - mentioned as a potential fix, though one Plus user questions whether this actually solves the problem and requests specific documentation
  • Alternative apps suggested:
    • Pack, Label, Ship: adds component items after order placement rather than at checkout
    • Simple Bundles 1.0 (legacy version): maintains single-unit display at checkout, converts to components post-purchase

Status: The discussion remains open with no confirmed solution for non-Plus merchants. One user reports the same issue and is seeking alternatives.

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.
