What app can help customers build boxes by selecting items?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Goal: Enable customers to build a box of 6 products, prompting them to add more items until the box is full, without requiring them to select a box product.

Requirements and constraints:

  • Show a message like “add X more items” to reach 6 per box; customers may choose not to complete a full box.
  • Limited number of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units); prefer a simple, low-cost solution.

Suggestions and feedback:

  • BoxUp Product Builder app was proposed via a link.
  • The OP clarified this app doesn’t fit: they need cart-level prompts to round orders to multiples of six, not a separate box-building product.

Outcome so far:

  • A participant concluded this likely needs custom development (custom cart logic and prompts).
  • Another participant expressed interest in discussing/implementing the custom functionality.

Status:

  • No off-the-shelf app identified that meets the exact requirement.
  • Discussion is open, leaning toward custom coding as the path forward. No final decision or implementation details yet.

Hey there,

We are setting up our shop and plan to ship 6 items in a box, the box has been custom made for our products (health and presentation reasons).

We are looking for an App that can help our customers build boxes by selecting an item, it can either be graphic or as simple as a message to say you need to add 3 more items, etc.

Does anyone know of such an App, we will only have a limited number of SKU’s so no need for anything too fancy or expensive.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for this but its not what I am looking for, have already had a look before :slightly_smiling_face:

Process is that when a customer orders a product (item) they will need to be prompted to add more products to fill the box (6) - they can also choose not to

I am not looking for them to select the box but rather round the order up to a box size or multiple boxes of 6 products.

Regards

Oh I see! Then this would require a custom functionality to be coded in and developed in that case.

Let me know if you’d like to discuss this further, cheers!
