A user is experiencing an issue with the Simple Bundles & Kits app where creating a bundle containing both variant and non-variant products causes an unnecessary variant selector to appear for products without variants.
Problem Details:
When bundling a product with variants and one without, a generic variant selector incorrectly displays on the non-variant product
The user attempted adding a dummy variant to the non-variant product, but this created new issues: variant selection stopped working on desktop, and on mobile only one variant could be selected across both selectors
Suggested Solutions:
Add a dummy variant (e.g., “Default”) and hide the selector using CSS or custom Liquid code
Use custom Liquid to detect single-variant products and skip rendering the selector
Switch to alternative bundle apps that handle this logic natively
i’m trying to make a bundle with Simple Bundles & Kits but have the problem that when i try making a bundle with a product with variants, and a product with no variants, this generic variant selector pops up on the product with no variants.
has anyone found a solution for working around it so the customer shouldn’t choose a variant for a product with no variant?
The mix-and-match feature allow you free to select which product will be in children, and once you select product variants in child, it will display “chose options” for you to select which variant you want.
You can try using the Easify Box Builder — it is a free app that lets you create one-page bundles, where customers can select all items from a single view.
What’s nice is that for products without variants, it will simply show an “Add to cart” button. For products with variants, it’ll show “Choose options” so customers can select the variant directly within the bundle.
This avoids the issue with unnecessary variant selectors and keeps the experience smooth for your customers. Here’s how it works:
The app is super easy to use, and it helps you create a smooth, engaging experience for your customers. If you need any help, our 24/7 in-app live chat support is always here to assist!
Hi,
Thank you for the answer
I Tried making a single variant on the powerbank, but now i can’t select the variants in the selector on desctop… i can on mobile but it dosen’t really work you can only select one variant across both variant selectors on mobile.
You might want to check out the JTDL: Bundles & Discounts app — it supports exactly what you’re looking for:
Variant bundle tabs displayed above the native “Add to Cart” button (e.g., Basic, Pro, Bundle) Short descriptions shown under each option (pulled from product tags)
A single “Add Bundle to Cart” button that includes all selected items Automatic discount logic applied at checkout — no custom code required
Supports both popup and inline bundle displays, so you can choose what fits your theme best
