Product bundles and discounts
Product bundles support discount codes and automatic discounts, including supported discount combinations.
When creating product or collection-specific discounts, include the parent bundle product to apply the discount. The discount won't apply if you select only the component products.
When a discount is applied to a bundle, the discount calculates on the parent bundle product first. The amount then allocates to component products by weighted price, and taxes calculate on the individual components.
Allocating discounts by weighted price
When you apply a discount to a bundle, the total discount amount is calculated based on the bundle's total price. The discount is distributed among the individual products based on each product's proportional price.
For example, a product that represents 80% of the bundle's price receives 80% of the discount. This weighted distribution ensures each product gets a fair share of the discount before taxes are calculated.
Applying discounts to bundles
You can apply discounts to bundles in several ways:
- Create a discount code for the bundle
- Edit the bundle price manually
- Use Cart transform for customized bundles

Combining bundle options
You can combine product options in a bundle, such as size or length, so your customers can select the option once. To combine product options, the option values need to match. The combined option counts as one of the three options available in the Bundles app.
Your customers are displayed with a single selector for the combined bundle option. The selection applies to all products in the bundle that use that option name.
For example, if you sell a red, blue, and green shirt, then you can combine the size options so that your customers only need to select the size once for all products in the bundle.

Troubleshooting bundles
If you're experiencing issues with your bundles, then review the following troubleshooting information.
Troubleshoot bundle product keeps changing to draft status
If a bundle product repeatedly changes from Active to Draft status, then it might be because a product variant or option linked to the bundle has been removed or the title of a variant or option has been changed.
With bundles, deleted variants or options are still considered connected until the bundle is updated. This causes the bundle product to go into Draft status because it's no longer considered valid. When the title of a variant or option is changed, it also automatically triggers the bundle product to change to Draft status.
To resolve this issue, update the bundle in the Bundles app:
Steps:
- From your Shopify admin, go to the product page for the bundle that's changing to Draft status.
- In the Bundled products section, click the Bundles app icon to edit the bundle.
- If a variant or option was removed or renamed, then you see the message "Option values were updated on the product and removed from the bundle: <variant/option name>".
- Click Save and continue next to the product to update the bundle and resolve the issue.
Alternatively, you can remove the affected product from the bundle and then add it back to resolve the issue.
