Example: How To Create A "Buy 1 Get 1" (BOGO) Bundle

To create a Buy 1 Get 1 (BOGO) bundle in Simple Bundles 1.0, create a bundle product in Shopify, priced at one item, that contains two items. In this example, the customer buys a gemstone necklace, picks a color, and gets a second necklace free.

Step 1: Create the BOGO product in Shopify

Step 2: Build the bundle in Simple Bundles

Step 3: Add the items to each bundle variant

Step 1: Create the BOGO product in Shopify

This works the same way as setting up a mix-and-match bundle or a bundle with product variant options.

1. In Shopify, create the product for your BOGO promotion.
2. In the Variants section, click + Add options like size or color.
3. Add the options your customers can choose from, then click Save.

In this example, the product is a Gemstone Necklace in two colors, Blue and Purple. Adjust the options and variants to match the bundle you're offering.

Step 2: Build the bundle in Simple Bundles

1. In Simple Bundles, go to Bundles v1.0 and click Build bundle.
2. Search for the product you created in Shopify.
3. Select the product and the variants you want to turn into bundles, then click Select.

Step 3: Add the items to each bundle variant

Each variant of the BOGO product is its own bundle. In this example, each bundle variant contains one Blue and one Purple necklace.

1. In the Bundle Variant section, click the variant you want to set up.
2. In the Products section, click Add products and select the individual necklace SKUs.

3. Set the Quantity of each product.
4. In Bundle details, set the Price to what the customer pays, usually the price of one item.
5. Click Save, then repeat for the other bundle variants.

How do I give the customer the same color for free?

To make the free necklace the same color the customer picked, add only that color's SKU to each bundle variant and set its quantity to 2. For example:

• The Blue bundle variant contains 2 Blue necklaces.
• The Purple bundle variant contains 2 Purple necklaces.

What do customers see?

Here's the bundle on the product page.

After checkout, Simple Bundles adds the necklaces to the order at $0 each, and the bundle carries the price.

Does Simple Bundles 2.0 handle this differently?

In Simple Bundles 2.0, you add the free item as a $0 component of the bundle, and depending on the bundle type, customers can choose their free gift from a set of options. See How to add a free gift to your bundles using Simple Bundles.
