Exploring options for bundling products in Shopify with Sanity discounts

Hi all, has anyone worked on a bundle/packs type feature in headless sanity/shopify?
We’re basically looking for:

1. Take existing product skus
2. Bundle them into a 1 price product
3. Discount the bundle to price set in sanity (aka would need a discount applied on shopify)
4. Automatic suggesting add products to cart based on having 1 in cart, aka add a tshirt, suggest hoodie for a 5 euro discount already applied
We thought of using shopfy automatic discounts but you can only have 1 apply per product.


Here’s how it would work for clothing :

you guys ever done something like this

bundling in shopify is an absolute nightmare

hahah so basically its tough

theres 3… ways you can do this1. bundle products together as a similar sku, usually limits the possibilities for bundles
2. Use shopify plus to apply discounts to the line items based on the products in the cart (should get around the single discount code)
3. without shopify plus, use variants on products, this one is a lot more complicated and won’t apply to all situations, but i basically create a variant of a product with a lower price, the variant is the bundled* price so when you add a product that is in a bundle you add the variant version, you have to of course ensure customers can’t remove individual variant versions of products, it also means in the shopify checkout itself you don’t have a

bundle

it’s the individual items at a bundled price*

and maybe 4th, use the order api itself and i believe you can apply a discount to products before applying the discount codes*

thank you 🙂 I’ve been pitching the third solution since it makes the most sense. Our situation is complicated by the fact that we want to offer a bundled and a non-bundled version of the product, and we were hoping we could do this by not creating multiple SKUs and instead use the built-in Shopify discount system. I believe your first option wouldn’t make it possible (I wish it did) since each item in the bundle has different variants the customer would have to choose, not sure what other limitations would be though

the 3rd option gets dicy if the products need native variants like, size/color + the bundled variant discount

Yup, dicy indeed, but it’s the only possible way as far as I know 🤷‍♂️ the thought is to not let them enter the checkout page alternatively remove the bundled items, unless all items in a bundle is actually there. This is because they can just apply it on the checkout page due to how Shopify’s discount system works. As in, if they remove one product from the bundle, Shopify would have no way to enforce anything on the checkout page, since the discounts work on one item each

yeah

you can also create multiple levels of discount for a product, i stitch these variants together inside of sanity

how does 2 work exactly, as we’re shopify plus

thanks so much for the help!!

knows more than I do here, and will correct me if I spoke inaccurately 🙂

thanks , appreciate it 🙂 that’s basically how I’ve done it too on the frontned, but with the addition of allowing variant selection for each item

if this is helpful here is what we do with Shopify Plus and discounting…
1. Select which products are apart of the bundle in the Sanity Admin (or shopify admin, wherever
2. When user adds to cart we add a hidden line item props
a. Bundle Name
b. grouped uid
c. Discounted Price
d. Ghost product its being pulled from.
e. If user removes, all items are removed from cart.
3. Display products in the mini cart via the ghost product so it shows the discounted price, items included in the bundle.
4. Shopify Plus Script which sorted out cart items and applies the applicable discount to the bundle products based on shared uid
