# Pre-curated bundle

Create a pre-curated Shopify bundle: a set of products sold as one product through Shopify's own bundles, with only the options you allow.

A pre-curated bundle is a set of products sold as one product: a starter kit, a gift set, a 3-pack. You choose the products and how many of each. You also choose which of their options buyers can pick, such as a colour, or leave a single value so there's nothing to choose. Shopify's own bundle system sells it.

## What Shopify handles for you

|                   |                                                                                                                |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Product page      | Your theme shows the bundle like any other product: its price, its options, its Add to cart. No theme changes. |
| Stock             | A choice sells out as soon as any product in it does, so the bundle can't oversell.                            |
| Cart and checkout | The products are grouped under the bundle.                                                                     |
| Orders            | Each product appears in the order, so fulfilment, refunds and reports work per product.                        |
| Channels          | Online Store, the Shop app and Shopify POS.                                                                    |

## Create it

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **Bundles → Create bundle → Pre-curated bundle**, name it and click **Next**. It starts as **Unlisted**, like any bundle, with no Shopify product until you save products.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In **Build**, click **Add products** and pick the products.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
For each product, set the **quantity** in one bundle. Under each option, keep the values buyers can pick selected and click the others to switch them off. Use **⋯** to duplicate or remove a product.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Watch **Shopify limits**, the card floating over the preview. It shows how close the bundle is to each limit and which options buyers will choose from.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Save. Shopify builds the bundle product.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In **Publish**, review the price, then set the status to **Active** when it's ready.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Options buyers choose

Every value of a product's options is offered until you switch it off. At least one value always stays on.

* **One value left** (Silver only): nothing to choose; the bundle always includes that value.
* **Two or more values** (Gold or Silver): the theme shows the option on the product page, like any product option.
* **Same option on several products**: when products share an option with the same name and the same values (Scent: Lavender or Mint), they become one choice. Picking Lavender sets every scented product.

## Shopify's limits

| Limit         | Detail                                                                                               |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Products      | Up to 30 in one bundle                                                                               |
| Options       | Up to 3 on the bundle; a combined option counts once                                                 |
| Variants      | Up to 2,048: every combination of the options' values                                                |
| Quantity      | Up to 2,000 of one product                                                                           |
| Nesting       | A product can't be a bundle itself                                                                   |
| Selling plans | No subscriptions, pre-orders or try-before-you-buy                                                   |
| Editing       | Once the app has set the products, only the app can change them                                      |
| Store         | The store must be able to sell Shopify bundles. If it can't, the create page shows Shopify's reason. |

The app won't send a bundle over a limit to Shopify. The save is refused with the reason instead.

## Set the price

The bundle sells at its product's own Shopify price. **Publish → Bundle price** shows it next to what the products cost together. To change it, use **Edit price in Shopify**. Later changes to the products don't overwrite a price you've set.

{% hint style="info" %}
Pre-curated bundles don't use tiered discounts. The price is the offer.
{% endhint %}

## "In this bundle" on the product page

An "In this bundle" section appears below Add to cart, listing each product with its image and quantity. Set it up in **Design → In this bundle**, or click the section in the preview:

| Layout          | Looks like                                          |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| List            | One row per product                                 |
| Grid            | Image cards side by side                            |
| Thumbnail strip | A row of small images; fits a narrow product column |
| Collapsible     | A "What's inside" row that opens the list           |

Turn on **Show + between products** for a plus sign between them. To move the section, add the **Bundle Items** app block to your product template. The heading is in **Settings → Language & Texts**, with a translation per language.

## Everything else works as usual

* **Upsells**: promote the bundle on other product pages from **Config → Upsell**. See [Upsells](/grow-and-manage/upsells.md).
* **Branding**: colours and corner radius of the section and the upsell card are in **Design → Branding**.
* **Analytics**: views, orders and revenue appear like any other bundle's.

## FAQ

### How is this different from a multi-option bundle?

A [multi-option bundle](/create-bundles/multi-option-bundle.md) is our own set with a choice per item and no Shopify variant limit. A pre-curated bundle is Shopify's own bundle, so it follows Shopify's limits, but it works in POS and the Shop app and the theme shows it natively.

### Can I change the products after launch?

Yes. Edit them in **Build** and save; Shopify rebuilds the bundle. The price stays as you set it.

### Why is there no Shopify product at first?

Shopify creates a bundle product only when it has products to bundle. Until your first save with products, the bundle exists in the app only, and **Edit product** stays off.
