Upsell multi-SKU bundles using post-purchase apps ft. Checkout Promotions and Upsells
This article applies to Simple Bundles 1.0. If you're using Simple Bundles 2.0, refer to How Simple Bundles handles orders with post-purchase products.
To upsell a multi-SKU bundle after checkout in Simple Bundles 1.0, add the bundle as the offer in a post-purchase upsell app. When a customer accepts the offer, the bundle is added to their order, and Simple Bundles then adds the products inside the bundle.
You can use any post-purchase upsell app from the Shopify App Store. This example uses Easy Post Purchase Promo Deals (formerly Checkout Promotions and Upsells).
How do I set up a post-purchase bundle upsell?
Step 1: Build the bundle in Simple Bundles
- Create your bundle product in Shopify, then in Simple Bundles go to Bundles v1.0, click Build bundle, and select the product.
- Add the products to each bundle variant and click Save.
Note: Use the Single-price bundle type for upsell bundles. Infinite options bundles rely on the options a customer picks on the product page. A post-purchase app adds the bundle without those selections, so Simple Bundles can't tell which products to add.
Step 2: Create the upsell offer
- Open the Easy Post Purchase Promo Deals app in your Shopify admin.
- Create a new promotion and add the bundle as the offer.
- Set the promotion to show on the post-purchase page.
What happens when a customer buys the upsell bundle?
When a customer's order matches the promotion's triggers, the bundle offer appears after checkout.
If the customer accepts, the app adds the bundle to the existing order. Simple Bundles then edits the order to add the products inside the bundle.
Note: Simple Bundles only processes bundles added to an order within one hour of the order being placed. Post-purchase offers are accepted right after checkout, so this normally isn't an issue.
The parent bundle stays on the order next to its items. To keep your team from shipping it by mistake, go to Preferences > Fulfillment in Simple Bundles and turn on Enable automatic fulfillment of bundle SKUs. See Enabling automatic fulfillment of bundle SKUs.
Does Simple Bundles 2.0 handle this differently?
Post-purchase bundles work the same way in 2.0: the bundle is added to an existing order, so Simple Bundles edits the order to add its items and the parent bundle stays on the order. 2.0 also has a built-in Upsells feature that recommends bundles on the product page and, on Shopify Plus, at checkout.
