Stacking Bundlex Bundles with other discounts
Bundlex Bundles can combine with other eligible Shopify discounts. Whether two discounts actually apply depends on their classes, combination settings, customer and product eligibility, and Shopify's platform rules.
Bundlex Bundles combination settings
Bundlex Bundles publishes product discounts with product, order and shipping combinations enabled. There is no combination toggle in the app's editor.
The other discount must also allow the combination. Allowing product combinations does not by itself guarantee that two product discounts will apply to the same item.
Same cart versus same item
- Product discounts on different items: eligible discounts can coexist in one cart when their combination settings allow it.
- Multiple product discounts on the same item: Shopify currently limits this to Shopify Plus and requires the supported same-item combination setup. Checking Product discounts alone is not enough.
- Product and order discounts: these can combine for eligible stores when both discounts allow it. Order discounts are calculated after product discounts.
- Shipping discounts: an eligible shipping discount can combine with Bundlex Bundles; Shopify does not combine multiple shipping discounts on one order.
Follow Shopify's current discount combination requirements for your store and discount types.
Add an order discount code
For an extra percentage off the whole order, create an Amount off order discount in Shopify. This is different from another product discount targeting the same items.
- In Shopify admin, open Discounts > Create discount > Amount off order.
- Choose Discount code, enter the code and amount, and set customer eligibility, minimums and dates. For a VIP promotion, restrict eligibility to the intended customers or segment.
- Find Combinations and open the edit button beside its heading.
- Select Product discounts. Bundlex Bundles is a product discount, even though the code you are editing is an order discount.
- Save the code.
- Test the cart and checkout as an eligible customer before advertising the combined saving.
If Shopify cannot combine the discounts, it can select the best eligible discount or combination instead of applying both.
Why checkout can be lower than the widget
The product-page widget shows Bundlex Bundles pricing. It does not include a separate Shopify discount or another app's discount. A qualifying combination can therefore produce a lower cart or checkout total.
In our USD example, two $28 creams have a Bundlex Bundles Buy 2 discount of 10%. An eligible 10% order code then discounts the reduced amount:
| Step | Amount |
|---|---|
| Two creams before discounts | $56.00 |
| Bundlex Bundles Buy 2 saving | $5.60 |
| Widget and cart product total | $50.40 |
| Additional 10% order-code saving | $5.04 |
| Products after both discounts, before shipping | $45.36 |
The combined saving is $10.64, or 19% of $56. Two successive 10% discounts do not make a 20% discount. Check the product allocation and the separate order-discount line at checkout; shipping is separate.
If a discount is missing
- Check the customer's eligibility, qualifying products, minimums, and active dates.
- Check both discounts' combination settings and the store's platform eligibility.
- For same-item product discounts, do not treat the Product discounts checkbox as proof that stacking is supported.
- Review the discount allocations in the cart and checkout to see which discounts Shopify actually applied.
On a newly set up store, Shopify can initially reject order combinations when Bundlex Bundles creates its discount. Saving the published deal again retries that setting. If an eligible order code still will not combine, contact support with the discount names and the cart example.
If two Bundlex Bundles deals cover the same product, do not assume their percentages add together. Two deals can discount different lines in the same cart, but one unit does not receive two allocations from the app. Use separate product filters when the promotions should not overlap.
