Bundle rule and product-specific bundle limits differ in how you choose the items the bundle condition applies to. Bundle rule is suited to applying the same condition to a group of items selected by tags or collections, while product-specific bundle limits is suited to setting different conditions for each product or variant.
Caution: The checkout rules you can enable in Shopify are limited to 25 per store in total, including rules enabled by other apps. Bundle rule uses one checkout rule for each enabled rule, and product-specific bundle limits uses one for the entire feature.
Choose the feature that fits what you want to do.
What you want to do | Which feature fits |
|---|---|
Set the same bundle condition for products grouped by collection or product tag | Bundle rule |
Allow bundling only among the eligible items | Bundle rule |
Set a different bundle condition for each product | Product-specific bundle limits |
Vary the bundle condition by variant within the same product | Product-specific bundle limits |
The main differences in how items are specified, bundle conditions, and pricing plans are as follows.
Comparison | Bundle rule | Product-specific bundle limits |
|---|---|---|
Specifying eligible items | All items / Collections / Products / Product tags | Per product or variant |
Specifying partner items | Collections / Products / Product tags | Products or variants (tags and collections cannot be specified) |
Types of bundle conditions | 8 (including "Bundle with eligible items only") | 7 (no "Bundle with eligible items only") |
Excluding items | Excluded items (collections and products) | Excluded items (up to 50 for the entire feature) |
Automatic application to new products | Automatic when matching conditions such as a collection or product tag | Requires individual configuration |
Checkout rules used | One per enabled rule | One for the entire feature |
When a pricing plan becomes required | Before creating a rule | When enabling the feature |
Product message | Requires the app embed | Requires the app embed |
Limit at checkout | Does not require the app embed | Does not require the app embed |
Tip: Product-specific bundle limits uses one checkout rule. If you have no other checkout rules enabled, you can use the remaining 24 for other rules.
