What’s One Must-Have Feature for Your Bundle App?

Topic summary

The conversation explores desired features for Shopify bundle apps, with a focus on improving the customer checkout experience.

Key Feature Request:

  • Dynamic bundle discounts that automatically apply the best available deal at checkout, rather than requiring pre-set configurations or manual customer selection
  • Should support Buy X Get Y, tiered discounts, and mix-and-match options
  • Must integrate seamlessly with Shopify’s native checkout, Shop Pay, and multi-currency support

Current Limitations:

  • Most existing bundle apps (like PickyStory and Bold Bundles) rely on pre-defined bundles and manual setup
  • Many use draft orders as a workaround, which creates conflicts with other discounts and payment methods
  • True real-time, native bundle discount systems are rare in the current app ecosystem

Open Questions:

  • Whether the main challenge lies in Shopify’s checkout limitations or app design approaches
  • What specific features would be essential in an ideal dynamic discounting system

The discussion remains exploratory, with participants considering potential implementation of such features.

Hey @Alexis-Kefi

A must-have feature for a bundle app would be “Dynamic Bundle Discounts at Checkout.”

Instead of pre-setting discounts, the app should dynamically adjust pricing based on the customer’s cart, applying the best available bundle deal automatically. This would reduce friction and improve conversions by ensuring customers always get the best value without needing to manually select bundles.

Bonus points if it integrates smoothly with Shopify’s native checkout and supports Buy X Get Y, tiered discounts, and mix-and-match options!

What do you think? Would this be a game-changer? :smiley:

Hey @rajweb ,

Love the idea! :bullseye:
Automatically applying the best bundle deal at checkout would make things so much smoother for customers. Seamless Shopify checkout integration is a huge plus too!

Have you seen any apps that do this well, or is this something most bundle apps are missing?
Would love to hear your take! :blush:

@Alexis-Kefi ,

Glad you liked the idea! :bullseye:

Most bundle apps focus on pre-defined bundles, but dynamic discounting at checkout is still pretty rare. Some apps offer mix-and-match bundles, but they usually require manual setup and don’t always integrate seamlessly with Shopify’s native checkout (especially with Shop Pay and multi-currency support).

A few apps, like PickyStory and Bold Bundles, come close, but they often rely on draft orders, which can cause conflicts with other discounts or payment methods. A truly native, real-time bundle discount system—without draft orders—would be a game-changer!

Would love to see your take on this! Have you considered implementing something like this? :smiley:

That makes a lot of sense!

It’s a thought worth pondering upon for implementation.
A truly native, real-time bundle discount system—without relying on draft orders—would definitely solve a lot of pain points for merchants. The draft order workaround can be limiting, especially when it conflicts with Shop Pay or multi-currency setups.

Do you think the biggest challenge is Shopify’s checkout limitations, or is it more about how bundle apps are designed?

Also, if you had full control over a dynamic discounting system, what key features would be non-negotiable for you? Would love to hear your wishlist! :smiley:
