How to show a product set with 'Display as bundle'
The Display as bundle toggle shows the current product as its own product card inside an offer, presented together with that offer's cross-sells. Instead of a plain quantity tier, customers see the main product and its add-ons grouped as a set.
What "Display as bundle" does
Every offer in a bundle deal can carry paid cross-sells, the "extras" you add to the offer. By default an offer is a quantity tier with a title, price, and an optional product image. When you turn on Display as bundle, the offer also includes the main product as a card alongside those cross-sells, so the offer reads as a curated set rather than a single line.
This is a presentation setting. It does not change the discount type, the required quantity, or the pricing math. Those are configured separately on the offer (discount type, discount amount, and quantity), and they are unaffected by this toggle.
When to use it
Reach for Display as bundle when an offer pairs the main product with cross-sells you want shown together, like "this jacket plus a matching scarf and gloves." Showing them as cards makes the grouping obvious and nudges customers toward the whole set.
Stick with a plain volume tier when the offer is really about buying more of the same product (Buy 1 / Buy 2 / Buy 3) and there are no cross-sells to show, or when you prefer the cleaner single-line tier look. A plain tier is the better default for straightforward quantity discounts.
- Use Display as bundle: the offer includes cross-sells and you want the main product shown as a card beside them.
- Use a plain volume tier: the offer is a quantity ladder with no cross-sells, or you prefer the compact tier layout.
Turn it on
- Open your bundle deal in the Bundlex dashboard and edit the offer you want to change.
- In the offer editor, find the Display as bundle card and switch it on.
- Choose a Layout: Stacked, Compact, Grid, or Gallery (see below).
- If you pick Grid, set the desktop and mobile column counts.
- Add the cross-sells you want shown alongside the main product, then save.
The four layouts
Once the toggle is on, you choose how the cards are arranged. The layout is set per offer, so different offers in the same bundle can use different layouts.
- Stacked is the default. Each product gets its own full row with image, title, variant picker, and price. It has no column settings.
- Compact is a tighter version of Stacked that fits the same information into less vertical space, using a smaller product image. Useful when a bundle contains many items.
- Grid arranges the cards into columns. When you choose Grid, two extra fields appear so you can set the number of columns separately for desktop and mobile.
- Gallery shows all the product images together at the top, with the titles, variant pickers, and prices listed underneath.
Compact and Gallery hide the variant labels
Both layouts read better without option names above each selector, so picking Compact or Gallery automatically turns on Hide variant labels for the bundle. Switching back to Stacked or Grid does not turn it off again, because that setting is shared across the whole bundle and you may have set it deliberately. You can always change it yourself in the widget's variant settings.
Grid and Gallery need the wider offer layout
If the bundle's own widget layout is set to Grid, the offer blocks are too narrow for the wider bundle layouts. In that case Grid and Gallery are greyed out and only Stacked and Compact can be picked, with a hint reading "Available only when the offer layout is stacked." Switch the widget layout to Stacked if you want all four options.
Desktop and mobile columns
The column fields only appear when the layout is set to Grid. Each one accepts a value from 1 to 6 and defaults to 2 columns on both desktop and mobile. Setting them independently lets you show, for example, more columns on a wide desktop screen and fewer on a narrow phone screen so the cards stay readable.
How it works with cross-sells and gifts
Display as bundle works together with the offer's cross-sells: the main product is presented alongside the cross-sells you have attached to that offer, which is what creates the bundle-style layout. Free gifts and benefit bullets are configured separately on the offer and are not affected by this setting.
Because this toggle changes presentation only, your discount type, required quantity, and totals stay exactly as you set them.
