Moving from legacy bundling to native bundling

To enable Native Bundling, locate the option in the "Product Bundle" section of the app dashboard's settings and toggle it on. 

You can enable or disable the feature to return to legacy bundling at any time. Native bundling is only available on the current Professional Plan so legacy plan merchants will be prompted to upgrade their subscription. 

Does enabling the feature mean I need to re-bundle my products?

No, you won't need to change your existing add-on products. Once the feature is enabled, all previously bundled products will remain on your app dashboard.  

You will see a new section displayed where you can customize the price of the add-on directly in the app dashboard. 

Products using Native Bundling do not need to be active on the Online Store Channel and will track inventory. 

What are the new features of Native Bundling? 

  • Native bundled products do not need to be published on the Online Store sales channel.
  • Prices for the bundles are set entirely in Infinite Options. The price of the bundled product is the static value that is set in the option value. Updates to the product price in Shopify will not affect the price in Infinite Options.
  • When initially creating the bundle, the product price will be used as the default value.
  • Products will not display on the cart but will show at checkout 
  • On the order, products will appear bundled in the Shopify admin within a collapsible menu on the parent product that allows you to view the bundled products.
  • _io_parent_order_group code will no longer be displayed in the cart, at checkout, or on the order.
