Making Simple Bundles 1.0 compatible with your Shopify POS

All Simple Bundles 1.0 bundle types work with Shopify POS. To set it up, turn off automatic order archiving so the app can edit POS orders, choose how bundle contents are fulfilled for POS orders, and add the Simple Bundles POS tile if you sell infinite options bundles.

Why do I need to turn off automatic order archiving?

Simple Bundles 1.0 adds bundle items by editing the order after it's created. POS orders are usually paid and fulfilled at the counter, so if automatic archiving is on, Shopify can archive them right away. Shopify doesn't allow archived orders to be edited, so the bundle items never get added.

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > General.
2. In the Order processing section, deselect Automatically archive the order.
3. Click Save.

How do I fulfill bundle contents for POS orders?

1. In Simple Bundles, go to Preferences.
2. In the Fulfillment section, select Enable automatic fulfillment of bundle contents.
3. Select Only fulfill bundle contents for fulfilled Shopify POS orders.
4. Click Save.

Simple Bundles then marks bundle contents as fulfilled on POS orders that don't have a shipping address, such as sales where the customer takes the items home. Online orders and POS orders you ship to the customer stay unfulfilled so you can fulfill them as usual.

How do I sell infinite options bundles on Shopify POS?

This section only applies if you use the infinite options bundle type. Infinite options bundles don't use Shopify variants, so staff need the Simple Bundles POS extension to pick the bundle options at checkout. The POS extension is available on all Simple Bundles plans, including the free plan.

1. On Shopify POS, add the Simple Bundles tile (Simple Bundles & Kits) to your smart grid.
2. Add the infinite options bundle to the cart, then open the Simple Bundles extension from the tile or by tapping the bundle line item in the cart.
3. Select the bundle options and check out as usual.

The same POS extension works on Simple Bundles 1.0 and 2.0. For step-by-step screenshots and how to turn on the cart line item option, see Integrating the Simple Bundles with your Shopify POS.

You can also use another product options app with a POS extension, such as Infinite Options by ShopPad. Make sure the option names and values you set up in that app match the ones in Simple Bundles.

How do I sell a bundle only through POS?

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Products and open your bundle product.
2. In the Publishing section, click the edit icon.
3. Select only Point of Sale and click Done.
4. Click Save.

Does Simple Bundles 2.0 handle this differently?

Yes. In Simple Bundles 2.0, Simple Bundle types break down into their component SKUs at POS checkout, so you don't need order editing or the POS tile for them. The tile is still needed for Infinite Options bundles. See Integrating the Simple Bundles with your Shopify POS.
