A bundle is a set of two or more related products sold together, usually at a discounted price. Bundles offer several benefits:
- increase average order value;
- sell more items and effectively clear out inventory;
- save customers time by providing a complete solution in one convenient package.
In this article, I'll walk you through the process of creating product bundles using Shopify's native and free Bundles app.
At the end of the article, you will allow your customer to purchase yoga blocks and yoga mats in one Yoga Mat & Blocks bundle.

Steps to create a bundle
1. Install the Shopify Bundles app.
Shopify Bundles is a free app provided by Shopify specifically to create bundles of products.
Visit Shopify Bundles on the App store and click on this Install button to install the app.
2. Create a new bundle
Open the Bundles app and click Create bundle.
Enter a title for your bundle in the Title field.
3. Select products for the bundle
Click Select products and choose the products you want to include into the bundle.
I've used a yoga mat and yoga blocks products to create my Yoga Mat & Blocks bundle.
You can include up to 30 products into a bundle, with a maximum of 100 variants.
4. Save and Continue
Click Save and continue or Save to create your bundle. After creation, you’ll be redirected to the product page form of the bundle.
5. Edit your bundle product
Now you can edit this bundle product like a normal product: write a description, upload an image, set the product as active and publish it to sales channels.
6. Preview the bundle
Your bundle is ready. Click Preview to see how your bundle looks on your storefront.
Now your customers can purchase a yoga mat and yoga blocks products as a sinle bundle. Moreover, they can choose from different variants of products to select their favorite color.
7. Add to cart and checkout
Click on Add to cart to add the bundle of 2 products to the cart.
Then go to the checkout process to make sure everything appears as expected. We have a bundle here that consists of a pair of yoga blocks and a mat.
When the customer purchases the bundle, Shopify automatically updates the inventory of each product in the bundle individually.
8. Add a Discount (Optional)
If you want your customers to feel like they are getting a great deal, give them a discount.
Please open the bundle product form in Shopify admin. Scroll to the bundle’s variants section and click on a variant - in case of my bundle Purple.
Set a compare-at price higher than the current price.
Save the changes and repeat for other variants if necessary.
Go back to the bundle product and click Preview to ensure the discount is displayed correctly.
You can see that the bundle is offered at a discount. Customers have a discount of €5 by purchasing this bundle.
Congratulations! You've created your first bundle. Bundles help boost sales, increase AOV, and make managing your inventory easier while offering more value to your customers.
