How Bundle Magic works: Create high-converting Shopify bundles using order history
Bundle Magic is a feature inside Simple Bundles that helps you create bundles fast using real purchase behavior from your store. It uses AI to analyze your past order history (what customers actually bought together), plus additional intelligence about what items tend to perform well as bundle pairings.
You’ll see the Bundle Magic card on your Dashboard as soon as you install Simple Bundles. Bundle Magic is designed to help you launch bundles faster than ever using data you already have.
How Bundle Magic works
Bundle Magic automatically generates bundle suggestions that are likely to convert because they’re based on:
Your store’s order history
The system looks for items that are frequently purchased together.
AI-driven bundle recommendations
It also applies intelligence about which products typically make sense together in a bundle, even beyond strict “bought together” patterns.
When Bundle Magic generates a bundle, it automatically creates:
- A bundle product in Shopify
- An AI-generated bundle title, bundle image (combining the recommended items into one cohesive image), bundle description, and bundle price
How Bundle Magic updates over time
Bundle Magic improves as your store collects more data. As orders roll in, Bundle Magic becomes more accurate and confident about:
- which products customers buy together
- which combinations might produce strong conversion as bundles
You’ll also see a “Last refreshed” date on the Bundle Magic card so you know when the suggestions were last updated.
What you’ll see inside the Bundle Magic card
Each suggestion includes a preview of a complete proposed bundle, including:
Bundle overview
- AI-generated bundle title
- Bundle price
- Any discount applied to the bundle (if included in the suggestion)
- An AI-generated bundle image
- A list of products included
This gives you visibility into what’s being generated before you create anything in Shopify.
What happens after you auto-generate a bundle
Once you click Auto-generate bundle, the bundle is created and saved as a an unlisted product in Shopify.
You’ll be able to:
- review it
- edit the title, price, description, images
- adjust product details
Please note that your bundle will not be live until you activate it
After the bundle is generated, you’ll need to go into Shopify and set the product status to Active. If you don’t do this, the product will remain unlisted and won’t be visible to customers.
What if you don’t have enough order history yet?
If your store doesn’t have sufficient data (for example, you installed Simple Bundles before you had many orders), Bundle Magic won’t show any suggestions yet. Once more orders are placed and the store has meaningful history, suggestions will begin to appear automatically.
Current limitations (and what’s coming next)
Right now, Bundle Magic can only generate the Simple Bundle type and does not yet generate Infinite Options Bundle types. That functionality is coming soon, and will expand the kinds of bundles Bundle Magic can create automatically.
Best practices: Get the most out of Bundle Magic
If you want Bundle Magic to help you create high-performing bundles quickly, here’s what works:
1) Start with your strongest repeat purchase patterns
Bundle Magic will typically surface bundles based on what your customers already buy together. These are often the easiest wins.
2) Generate, then review before activating
Bundle Magic generates a ready-to-sell product, but you should still:
- check the product title
- confirm pricing
- ensure imagery matches your brand tone
- refine the description if needed
3) Activate only when you’re ready to sell
Your bundle won’t go live until you mark it active in Shopify. Use that draft stage to polish and approve it.
FAQ
Does Bundle Magic change my store automatically?
No. Bundle Magic only creates a bundle when you click Auto-generate bundle. Suggestions refresh automatically, but nothing is created until you choose to generate it. After you generate it, the bundle product is set as Unlisted and only visible to customers if you set the product as Active.
Can I edit the generated bundle?
Yes. Bundles generated through Bundle Magic are fully editable in Shopify and in Simple Bundles after they’re created.
Why is Bundle Magic blank?
That usually means your store doesn’t have enough order history yet. As your store collects more orders, Bundle Magic will automatically generate suggestions.
Are the bundle images and descriptions really auto-generated?
Yes. Bundle Magic generates:
- a combined bundle image that visually groups the products into one cohesive image
- a product description directly on Shopify
- a bundle title and price
If you don’t have enough data yet, Bundle Magic will begin generating suggestions automatically as soon as your store has more meaningful orders.
