This article applies to Simple Bundles 1.0. If you're using Simple Bundles 2.0, refer to How to build your first product bundle in Simple Bundles 2.0 (Beginner’s guide).
To create your first bundle in Simple Bundles 1.0, create a product in Shopify, select it as the parent bundle in the app, then add the individual items (SKUs) it contains. When a customer orders the bundle, the app adds the bundle's items to the order and updates the bundle inventory.

Create the parent product in Shopify
- In your Shopify admin, create a new product. This product becomes the parent bundle in Simple Bundles.
- To sell more than one version of the bundle, such as a mix-and-match or multi-pack bundle, add variants to the product. For ideas, see Example: Creating mix-and-match bundles with product options and Example: Creating multi-packs with quantity options.
You don't need to set the quantity or price in Shopify. Simple Bundles calculates the bundle inventory, and you can set the price in the app.
In the product's Inventory section, turn on Track quantity for each bundle variant so the app can update its inventory. To avoid negative inventory, don't select Continue selling when out of stock.
Add the parent product to Simple Bundles
- In Simple Bundles, go to Bundles v1.0 and click Build bundle.
- Find the product you created in Shopify, select it, and click Select. If the product has variants, each selected variant becomes a bundle variant.
Add items to your bundle
Next, add the individual SKUs to each bundle variant.
- In the Products card, click Add products.
- Find and select each SKU you want in the bundle.
- Set the Quantity of each SKU.
- Set the bundle price in the Bundle details card. When Sync bundle price based on the products in a bundle is checked, the app calculates the price from the items. Uncheck it to enter your own price.
- Click Save.
For most bundles, keep the Bundle type set to Single-price bundle. With this type, the items added to the order are discounted to $0 each and the bundle carries the price. To compare the other types, see Bundle types available in Simple Bundles 1.0.
When a customer orders this bundle, Simple Bundles updates the bundle inventory automatically, as long as Enable automatic inventory sync for bundle quantities is turned on in Preferences. This setting is on by default.
How do I test the bundle with a draft order?
You can test the bundle by placing an order on your storefront or by creating a draft order in the Shopify admin.
Note: If you test with a draft order, mark it as paid so Shopify creates the order. Simple Bundles adds the bundle's items once the order exists.
For a full testing checklist, see How to test your bundle before launching it.
