How to choose which products show a bundle

Every bundle deal in Bundlex Bundles has a Show widget on setting that controls which storefront product pages display the bundle. This lets you run one bundle across your whole catalog, or scope it down to a handful of products or specific collections.

Where to find "Show widget on"

Open any bundle in the editor and expand the Show widget on card. Inside, you'll see a set of radio buttons, one for each targeting mode. The line under the card title shows your current mode and, when you've made a selection, how many products or collections you've picked.

The four targeting modes

Pick the mode that matches where you want the bundle widget to appear:

• All products - the widget shows on every active product page in your store. No product selection needed.
• Selected products - the widget shows only on the specific products you choose.
• All products except selected products - the widget shows everywhere except the products you choose to exclude.
• Any of selected collections - the widget shows on products that belong to the collections you choose.

Choosing products or collections

For every mode except All products, a picker button appears beside the selected radio option. Clicking it opens the standard Shopify resource picker so you can choose your resources:

1. Select the targeting mode you want.
2. Click the picker button beside it. Selected products and All products except selected products open the product picker; Any of selected collections opens the collection picker.
3. Check the products or collections you want, then confirm. Your choices are listed back to you below the radios, and you can remove any item from that list.

The picker remembers your previous choices, so re-opening it pre-checks what you already selected. During the current editing session, switching modes can preserve your earlier choices. After saving and reopening, check the selected resources again; do not rely on inactive-mode selections being retained.

Save and test the targeting

Click Save and activate the discount when you are ready to test. Check both a product that matches and one that should not match. An editor preview is not proof that the widget appears on the intended product page.

For a selected-product test, choose only Revitalize Face Cream and confirm that this deal appears on the cream page, not on Quilted Cosmetic Bag. For a collection test, choose Beauty Accessories and confirm that this deal appears on a member product such as the bag, not on a nonmember such as the cream. For example, with a $28 cream and a $24 Ivory / Small bag, Buy 2 at 10% off gives a $50.40 cream total or a $43.20 bag total. These USD examples exclude other discounts and added tax or shipping; check the selling prices in your store.

Check the actual Add to cart flow and checkout quantities and totals. If another published discount targets the same product, review the overlap rules below before interpreting your result.

Only one store-wide bundle can be published at a time

You can have only one published bundle set to All products at any given time. If you already have a published all-products bundle and try to publish a second one, Bundlex Bundles blocks the publish and tells you which existing bundle is in the way:

Only one active discount can apply to all products at a time. To continue, change the "Show widget on" setting for either this discount or "[the existing bundle's name]".

That's the same Show widget on card described above.

To resolve it, either change this bundle to a narrower mode (such as Selected products or Any of selected collections), or unpublish or re-scope the existing all-products bundle first. There's no limit like this on the other three modes. You can publish many product-scoped, exclusion-scoped, or collection-scoped bundles at once.

This is separate from Shopify's limit on active automatic discounts across apps. See automatic-discount limit guidance if activation is blocked.

When two bundles target the same product

Only one Bundlex Bundles widget shows on a product page. If a product falls under two of your published bundles, one of them wins and the other simply doesn't appear there. The editor now warns you about this while you're setting targeting up, and names the other bundle.

Which one wins comes down to how specific the targeting is. From strongest to weakest:

1. Selected products
2. Any of selected collections
3. All products except selected products
4. All products

A bundle targeting five specific products beats a collection-wide one on those five products, and any of them beats a store-wide bundle. So a store-wide "10% off everything" bundle plus a "Selected products" bundle on your bestsellers is a sensible setup: the bestsellers show the specific offer, everything else shows the store-wide one.

You'll see one or both of these warnings:

• Same products, same rule. Both target the shared products with the same specificity, so targeting alone does not decide the winner. Bundlex Bundles uses further discount-based tie-breaks; check the actual product page. Take the shared products out of one of them.
• Hidden on some products. Another bundle targets the shared products more specifically and wins. That's often intentional, so this is a heads-up rather than an error.

You may also see Checkout note. An add-ons-only discount, or a discount with optional selection and no offer selected, can leave the native main product eligible for a broader published discount. Showing one widget does not necessarily mean only that discount can affect checkout. Remove those products from the broader discount, or turn off optional selection if shoppers should always choose an offer.

Two things worth knowing. The warning only counts published bundles, so another draft does not count as a competing offer. The draft you are currently editing can still show a warning about a published discount. And it can't compare a collection against a hand-picked product list, because that would mean loading every product in the collection, so an overlap of that shape isn't flagged.

This is about which widget appears. It's a different question from whether a Bundlex Bundles discount combines with a Shopify discount code at checkout, which is covered in stacking with other discounts.

If a selected product was deleted

If a product or collection in the targeting list was deleted from your store, a warning under Show widget on shows its id. Click Remove in that warning and choose a replacement if needed. Save, reopen the deal and confirm the intended resources are still selected. Changing the preview product alone does not repair the targeting rule.

Known limits to be aware of

"All products except selected" doesn't trim the variant options

In All products except selected products mode, the bundle still applies everywhere except the products you exclude, and that part works as expected. However, the variant option list shown in the editor (used for swatch configuration) is built from your full store catalog. Excluding products does not remove their options from that list. This is a deliberate limitation: filtering the option set would mean loading every product in the store to compute the difference, which isn't practical for large catalogs.

Large collections fall back to store-wide options

For Any of selected collections, Bundlex Bundles normally loads variant options scoped to just the products in your chosen collections. If the combined collections contain more than 5,000 products, that scoped lookup is truncated and the editor falls back to showing store-wide variant options instead. The bundle still targets the right collections on the storefront; only the option list in the editor reverts to the broader, store-wide set in this case.

Tips

• Use All products for a single catalog-wide offer, then reserve the narrower modes for targeted promotions layered on top.
• If a widget isn't appearing where you expect, confirm the bundle is published and that its Show widget on rule actually matches the product page you're viewing.
• After changing modes, verify the chosen resources and save. Check them again after reopening the editor.
