A Shopify app by Matrix Health Group

Matrix Bundles

A customer builds a bundle from your store’s own rules, and it becomes a single discounted line in the cart and at checkout.

Your order still records every product separately, so refunds, picking and reporting keep working exactly as they did.

In development. Not yet submitted to the Shopify App Store.

One line for the shopper. Every product on the order.

Most bundling works by creating a bundle product in your catalogue and selling that. That is what breaks refunds and stock counts, because the thing the customer bought is not a thing you actually sell. This app creates no such product. It merges the lines the shopper already chose, so your order still lists each product individually — the only thing it adds is one hidden helper product, carrying the merged line’s title and price.

Try it — the rule here is “at least three items, 15% off”

Tick three items to see the bundle form.

Cart and checkout

  • The bundle will appear here as a single line, under the title you give it.

The order in your admin

  • Every product will stay listed here separately, grouped as one bundle.

Figures are illustrative, to show how the mechanism behaves.

How the rules work

  1. Tag your products

    A bundle is defined by the product tags you already use. You describe slots — a tag, and how many items from it a bundle needs. Membership follows the tag, so adding a new product to a bundle means tagging it, not editing the bundle.

  2. Set the minimums and the discount

    Each slot has a minimum, and the bundle has a minimum overall. Pricing is a percentage off the qualifying lines. You can also exclude tags, so a product never counts towards a bundle.

  3. Check it before it goes live

    A built-in simulator assembles a basket from your real products and shows what checkout would do — including why a basket would not qualify. Bundles stay in draft until you set them live.

  4. The rule runs on Shopify’s servers

    Pricing is enforced by a Shopify Function, not by JavaScript in your theme, so it is not something a shopper can bypass. It also uses none of your store’s twenty-five discount slots, because it is a price adjustment rather than a discount.

What it does not do

Worth knowing before you install anything, and rarely published. Some of these are limits of the platform and cannot change; others are simply not built yet.

Bundles and subscriptions cannot be combined
A platform rule, not our choice. Shopify refuses to merge lines that carry a selling plan, so a subscription item will not join a bundle. No app can work around this.
An order cannot be edited into a bundle afterwards
Also a platform rule. The pricing runs at checkout, so support cannot add an item to a bundle once the order exists.
Minimums only, and no “three different products” rule
Slots have a minimum but no maximum, and nothing requires the items to be different. If one product carries every tag a bundle needs, three of that product will qualify. Worth checking your tags against.
Percentage discounts only
No fixed bundle price, no volume tiers, no buy-one-get-one, no free gift and no free shipping.
Tags, not collections
Bundle membership is defined by product tags. Collections, product types and vendors are not yet supported as rules.
Discount codes stack on top
Because the bundle price is an adjustment rather than a discount, a store-wide code can still apply over it. Plan your codes with that in mind.
No scheduling and no reporting yet
Bundles are set live or held in draft by hand, and the app shows no performance figures — it measures nothing, so it will not claim anything.
The storefront picker is not part of this app
This app enforces the rules and the pricing. However a shopper chooses their items on your site is your theme’s job, not ours.

Who it is for

  • Stores selling sets and kits

    Where a group of products is normally bought together and you would rather sell it as one thing, without creating a separate product to maintain.

  • Stores where stock accuracy matters

    Because the order records real products rather than a bundle SKU, stock, picking and per-product reporting behave normally.

  • Stores not on Shopify Plus

    The merge has been proved working on a store on a standard plan, not only on Plus.
