What bundle types are available in Simple Bundles 1.0?
Single-price bundle
The simplest type to set up and the default. The bundle carries the bundle price, and the bundle products added to orders are discounted to $0 each. See Bundle type: Single-price bundle | add $0 items in orders.
Separately-priced items (deprecated)
This type removes the bundle from orders and gives each item a specified price. It has limitations with exclusive taxes and discount codes. We don't recommend it for new bundles. Use a Single-price bundle instead. See Bundle type: Separately-priced items | Remove bundle SKU from order.
Infinite options bundle
Customers pick bundle items from dropdowns on the product page, saved as line item properties, so you don't need a variant for every combination or hit Shopify's limit of 2,048 variants per product. Like a Single-price bundle, the bundle products added to orders are discounted to $0 each. You need to install the infinite options selector on your theme. See Bundle type: Infinite options bundle | add unlimited bundle options without variants.
How do I change a bundle's type?
- In Simple Bundles, go to Bundles v1.0 and open the bundle.
- In the Bundle type section, select the type.
- Click Save.
If you switch to Infinite options bundle, you set up the bundle options and then add products to each option value. See Example: Creating an infinite options bundle.
Can I use Single-SKU (inventory-only) bundles?
Yes. With Single-SKU, the bundle's items aren't added to orders. Simple Bundles only adjusts their inventory when the bundle is sold. Single-SKU applies to all bundles in your store.
- In Simple Bundles, go to Preferences.
- In the Orders section, under Bundle orders, select Enable single-SKU inventory sync.
- Click Save.
