π§© Available Bundle Types β Explained
Not sure which offer type to pick? You're in the right place π
Hoppy Bundles comes with 9 different offer types, each built for a different selling strategy β from simple volume discounts to build-your-own bundles and smart product recommendations.
This guide gives you a quick, friendly tour of each one:
- β What it does
- π How it looks on your storefront
- π― When you'd want to use it
- β οΈ Key limitations to know about
We won't go deep into settings here β every offer type has its own dedicated setup guide (linked in each section). Think of this page as the map πΊοΈ before you start the journey.
π Where Do I Find the Offer Types?
All offer types live behind one button:
β Open the Hoppy Bundles app from your Shopify Admin β Click Create new offer (top right)
This opens the Select Offer Type page β a grid of cards, one per offer type. Each card shows:
- The offer name (e.g. Quantity Break)
- A live mini-preview of how the widget looks on your storefront
- A tag describing the category (e.g. Volume Discounts)
- A short description of what it does
- A Create button to start that offer type
βΉοΈ Some cards open the same setup screen with different starting points β for example, BOGO and Buy X Get Y both open the Quantity Break setup, just pre-filled with deal-style tiers. More on that below π
π Group 1 β Volume Discounts
These offers reward customers for buying more β the bigger the purchase, the better the deal. A real Shopify automatic discount is created, so the savings apply at checkout with no discount codes needed.
1οΈβ£ Quantity Break (One product)
- Tag: Volume Discounts
- What it does: Creates tiered quantity discounts on a single product β e.g. Buy 1 β Standard Price, Buy 2 β 10% OFF, Buy 3 β 20% OFF.
- Storefront look: A neat, clickable tier widget on the product page (default: right below the Add to Cart button). Customers tap the tier they want and add to cart β the discount applies automatically at checkout β¨
- Pick this when: You want to push higher quantities of the same product β great for consumables, wholesale-style pricing, or "stock up and save" deals.
π‘ This is the most popular offer type and the foundation of the app β BOGO and Buy X Get Y are built on top of it.
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Quantity Break?
2οΈβ£ Category Quantity Break (Different products)
- Tag: Volume Discounts
- What it does: Same tiered-discount idea, but each "pack" mixes different products β the product the customer is viewing plus extra products they choose from a list you curate.
- Storefront look: Radio-selectable pack tiers on the product page (e.g. 1 Pack β Standard, 2 Pack β 10% OFF, 3 Pack β 20% OFF). The customer picks a pack, selects the extra products for it, and checks out with the discount applied automatically β¨
- Pick this when: You want volume discounts across a whole category β e.g. "mix any 3 t-shirts and save 20%" β rather than multiples of one product.
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Category Quantity Break?
π Group 2 β Combo & Build-Your-Own
These offers sell multiple products together as one deal.
3οΈβ£ Bundle (Combo Product)
- Tag: Combo Product
- What it does: Groups up to 3 different products into a fixed combo β like T-Shirt + Trousers + Muffler β with a discount (or even a free gift π) when the customer buys the whole set.
- Storefront look: A bundle widget on the product page showing the combo items. One click of the button adds all products to the cart together, with the discount applied automatically β¨
- Pick this when: You have a fixed set of products that naturally go together and want to sell them as one click-to-buy combo.
- β οΈ Limitation: A Bundle needs at least 2 and supports up to 3 products per combo. Need more flexibility or more items? Look at BYOB instead.
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Bundle (Combo Product)?
4οΈβ£ BYOB (Build Your Own Bundle)
- Tag: Build Your Own
- What it does: Lets customers build their own bundle from the products/collections you allow, following rules you define (e.g. "pick at least 3 items"), and unlocks a discount once their bundle qualifies.
- Storefront look: BYOB gets its own product page on your storefront with a live bundle builder β customers add items, watch the bundle summary update (selections, total, discount, final price), and add the whole bundle to cart in one click β¨
- Behind the scenes: When you save a BYOB offer, Hoppy Bundles automatically creates a Shopify product for the bundle page and a Shopify automatic discount for the qualifying rules.
- Pick this when: You sell things like gift boxes, sample packs, meal kits, or "build a set" experiences where the customer chooses what goes inside.
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Build Your Own Bundle (BYOB)?
π Group 3 β Upsell & Recommendations
These offers recommend extra products to grow the cart. Important difference: they do not create discounts β products are added at their regular price.
5οΈβ£ Product Upsell (Slider)
- Tag: Upsell
- What it does: Shows a "You might also like" product slider on your product pages. Recommendations can be:
- π§ AI-powered β Related or Complementary products (via the free Shopify Search & Discovery app)
- π― Hand-picked β exactly the products you choose
- Storefront look: A swipeable slider of product cards, each with its own Add to Cart button β customers add extras without ever leaving the product page β¨
- Pick this when: You want to raise Average Order Value by cross-selling relevant extras at the moment of highest intent.
- β οΈ No discount: The upsell slider creates no discount β it's purely a recommendation tool π‘
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Product Upsell?
6οΈβ£ Product Addons (With Checkboxes)
- Tag: Product Addons
- What it does: Adds a list of optional products with checkboxes to the product page. Customers tick what they want, and everything goes into the cart together in one click.
- Storefront look: A checkbox list of addons (with images and prices) under the main product, plus a combined Add Bundle To Cart button β¨
- Pick this when: You offer extras tied to the main product β π gift wrapping, π‘οΈ warranties/protection plans, π§’ matching accessories, π§΄ refills or travel-size versions.
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Product Addons?
7οΈβ£ Frequently Bought Together (Product Recommendations)
- Tag: Product Recommendations
- What it does: A smart recommendation slider showing products that naturally go with the one being viewed β powered by AI recommendations (Related or Complementary products from the Shopify Search & Discovery app) or your own hand-picked products.
- Storefront look: A "Frequently bought together" slider of product cards with individual Add to Cart buttons, right on the product page β¨
- Pick this when: You want Amazon-style "customers also bought" suggestions, driven by Shopify's recommendation data rather than manual curation.
- β οΈ No discount: Like the upsell slider, FBT creates no discount β recommendations are added at regular price π‘
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Frequently Bought Together?
π Group 4 β Deals (BOGO & Conditional)
Classic promotional deals. Both are built on the Quantity Break flow β the same setup screen, just pre-filled with deal-style tiers and the YAY! It's BOGO template, so you're never starting from a blank page.
8οΈβ£ BOGO (Buy One Get One)
- Tag: BOGO Deal
- What it does: Runs "buy X, get more free" deals on a product β e.g. Buy 1 β Standard Price, Buy 2 β Get 1 Free, Buy 3 β Get 1 Free.
- Storefront look: A clickable deal-tier widget on the product page. The customer picks the deal, and the free item is added and discounted automatically at checkout β no discount codes, and customers don't need to add the free item themselves β¨
- Pick this when: You want the classic, instantly-understood "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" style promotion β great for clearing stock or launch promos.
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Buy One Get One (BOGO)?
9οΈβ£ Buy X Get Y (Conditional Offer)
- Tag: Conditional Deal
- What it does: Rewards customers with a different product when they buy enough of something β e.g. Buy 2 T-Shirts β Get a Cap at 50% OFF, or Buy 3 β Get Socks FREE.
- Storefront look: Clickable deal tiers on the product page, just like BOGO. The discount on the "Y" product applies automatically at checkout β¨
- Pick this when: You want to push a specific product (or introduce a new one) by tying it as a discounted/free gift to purchases of another product.
β Setup details: see the dedicated guide How to setup Buy X Get Y?
π€ Which One Should I Choose?
Here's a quick decision helper based on what you're trying to do:
- πΈ "Buy more of the same product, save more" β Quantity Break
- Example: A coffee brand offers 10% off 2 bags, 20% off 3 bags.
- π§Ί "Mix & match across a category with tiered savings" β Category Quantity Break
- Example: Any 2 candles for 10% off, any 3 for 20% off.
- π "Sell a fixed set as one combo" β Bundle (Combo Product)
- Example: A skincare starter kit β cleanser + toner + moisturizer at 15% off.
- π§© "Let customers build their own box" β BYOB
- Example: Pick any 5 snacks for your gift box and save 10%.
- β "Add small extras to the main product" β Product Addons
- Example: Gift wrap + extended warranty checkboxes on a gadget page.
- ποΈ "Suggest related products, no discount" β Product Upsell or Frequently Bought Together
- Example: "You might also like" slider under a dress, showing matching shoes and bags.
- π "Buy one, get one free" β BOGO
- Example: Buy 2 t-shirts, get 1 free during a weekend sale.
- π·οΈ "Buy enough of X, get Y discounted" β Buy X Get Y
- Example: Buy 2 coffee bags, get a branded mug at 50% off.
β οΈ Important Notes
- App embed required: For any widget to appear on your storefront, the Hoppy Bundles app embed must be enabled in your theme (Shopify Admin β Online Store β Themes β Customize β App Embeds). Without it, published offers stay invisible β even if everything in the app is configured correctly.
- Discounts vs. recommendations: Volume discounts, bundles, BYOB, BOGO and Buy X Get Y all apply real automatic discounts at checkout (no codes needed). Product Upsell and Frequently Bought Together are recommendation tools only β they create no discount.
- Shared setup screens:BOGO and Buy X Get Y open the Quantity Break setup pre-filled with deal tiers; Frequently Bought Together opens the Upsell Slider setup. Don't be surprised when the editor looks familiar π
- Bundle size limit: The Bundle (Combo Product) type supports 2β3 products per combo. For bigger or customer-built sets, use BYOB.
- AI recommendations: The AI mode in Product Upsell and Frequently Bought Together relies on the free Shopify Search & Discovery app to store Related/Complementary product data.
- One guide per type: Every offer type has a dedicated step-by-step setup guide in this help center β start there once you've picked your type.
