Multi-Option Bundle

Complete guide to creating Multi-Option Bundles in Elite Bundle Builder, including options, single-product mode, discounts, design customization, and FAQ.

A Multi-Option Bundle sells a fixed group of products where customers choose one item per option. Each option can be a group of products or a single product with Shopify variant selectors.

What It Is Best For

  • Outfit combos

  • Matching sets

  • Product kits with size or color choices

  • Bundles where every component should be included

How the Customer Experience Works

  1. Customer lands on the bundle product page.

  2. They see each option as a labeled group (for example, "Shirt", "Trousers").

  3. For each option, they pick exactly one item or variant combination.

  4. A price display shows the running total and any applied discount.

  5. They use the theme's native Add to cart button to purchase.

  6. The bundle discount applies automatically at checkout if enabled.

Before You Start

MOB bundles require the Elite Embed Core app embed. The Multi-Option Bundle app block is optional and is only needed when you want to position the selector in a specific product-page area.

  1. In Shopify, go to Online Store > Themes.

  2. Click Customize on your current theme.

  3. Open App embeds.

  4. Turn on Elite Embed Core.

  5. Click Save.

Later, if you want custom placement, add the optional Multi-Option Bundle app block to the product template.


Bundle Setup Sections

When you create or edit a Multi-Option Bundle, the fullscreen editor is organized into seven tabs on the left icon rail: Template, Options, Config, Offer, Design, Publish, and Settings.

Options Tab

This is where you define the fixed product groups customers choose from.

Option Name

Give each option a clear label that describes the product group:

  • Shirt

  • Trousers

  • Hat

  • Shoes

Option Mode

Each option can be configured in one of two modes:

  • Products (Select products): you pick several products, and the customer chooses one item from the combined list. Each product contributes its selectable variants.

    You can add a product whole, so every one of its variants becomes a choice, or tick particular variants in the picker so only those appear.

  • Product with options (Add product with options): you pick exactly one product, and the customer builds a variant from its own Shopify options — for example Color then Size. Combinations that do not exist or are out of stock cannot be selected.

Adding and Removing Options

  • Click Add Option to create a new option.

  • Use the up and down arrows on an option to reorder options.

  • Click the delete button on an option to remove it.

  • A bundle must have at least one option.

In Products mode, drag the products themselves to change the order customers see them in.

Discounts Tab

Multi-Option Bundles use a simplified discount model. Because the bundle is a fixed combo, tier-based quantity discounts do not apply. Instead, you can apply a single flat discount to the bundle total.

Discount Type

  • Percentage off: Deduct a percentage from the total bundle price (for example, 10% off).

  • Fixed amount off: Deduct a flat amount from the total bundle price (for example, $5 off).

Discount Value

Enter the percentage or amount. The discount applies automatically whenever the bundle is added to cart. There are no tiers or minimums to configure.


Template and Design Tabs

Template chooses the option selector — Clean Dropdowns, Image Selector, or Product Cards. Design → Options display then fine-tunes it: selector style, product images, per-item prices, hiding sold-out choices, column count, and the discount badge. Design → Branding sets this bundle's colors and corner rounding.

Both are covered in Design and Customize.

Multi-option bundles always render inside your theme's product page, so there is no display-location choice.


FAQ

Can a customer buy multiple quantities of the same bundle?

Not in a single action. Each add to cart adds one of each option, and your theme's quantity field does not apply to bundle options. To buy the set twice, a customer adds the bundle, then builds and adds it again.

What happens if a variant combination is out of stock?

Unavailable choices are shown as sold out and cannot be selected. In Product with options mode, choosing a color narrows the sizes to the ones that actually exist for it. If every choice in an option becomes unavailable, the bundle cannot be completed.

Turn on Hide sold-out choices in Design → Options display to drop them instead of showing them disabled.

Can I mix Products mode and Product with options mode in the same bundle?

Yes. Each option independently uses either mode. Option 1 can be a list of shirts, while Option 2 is a single jacket with size and color selectors.

How is the bundle price calculated?

The bundle price is the sum of the selected item prices across all options. If a discount is enabled, it is deducted from that total at checkout.

Where is the Add to cart button?

The bundle deliberately does not draw its own. It hooks your theme's existing Add to cart button, so the page keeps its native look — the button stays disabled until every option has been chosen. The theme's price and dynamic checkout buttons are hidden, since the bundle supplies its own total.

In the editor preview, a dashed placeholder marks where the theme's button will be.

Can I change the option selector after launch?

Yes. Open Design → Options display and change Selector to Dropdown, Chips or Cards. Preview before making the bundle active.

What is the difference between Products mode and Product with options mode?

  • Products: you select several products, and the customer picks one item from the combined list. Best when the choices are different products.

  • Product with options: you select exactly one product, and the customer builds a variant from its own options. Best when one product has many variant combinations.

Do I need to add an app block for MOB bundles?

No. MOB bundles need the Elite Embed Core app embed. By default the selector is placed just above your theme's Add to cart button. Add the optional Multi-Option Bundle app block only when you want it somewhere else.

Can I have a different design for each MOB bundle?

Yes. Each bundle has its own template, options display settings and branding.
