 "summary": "Shopify bundle builder for build-your-own-box, gift-box, mix-and-match, fixed-price, volume and subscription bundles, with bundle inventory synced across Shopify and 3PLs and POS support.",
 "best_for": "Shopify merchants who want build-your-own-box, gift-box, mix-and-match, fixed-price or volume bundles live in days rather than sprints, with bundle inventory syncing across Shopify and 3PLs and bundles that also sell through POS, and whose bundle revenue is still small enough to sit comfortably inside a published tier",
 "skip_if": "your bundle sales already run past $10,000 a month, because that is where the published ladder ends and the overage is not disclosed; or you need one straightforward fixed or mix-and-match bundle, which Shopify's own free first-party Bundles app already covers",
 "honest_knock": "The pricing is tied to the thing the app is supposed to grow. A revenue meter reads as generous at the bottom ($500 of bundle sales a month free is a real trial, not a crippled one) but it means every tier upgrade is triggered by the app working, and the published ladder stops at $10,000 a month with no stated overage. A store doing well on bundles has to ask what comes next rather than read it, and that is the wrong moment to be negotiating. Maturity is not the concern here: the app has been on the App Store since 15 September 2022 and carried 4.9 stars over 1,216 reviews on 4 September 2026 and 1,298 on 19 September, at the same average. The concern is where the money goes as you succeed. Two smaller things: the features most merchants picture when they think bundles are all paid: the guided single- and multi-step build-your-own-box builders sit on Essential at $29, and subscription bundles, add-ons and free gifts on Growth at $49: none of them on the free plan, and the recent reviews that praise the app most warmly also praise the support team by name, which is a compliment to people rather than to a product that never needs them.",

  "notes": "(read 2026-09-04 on apps.shopify.com/bundle-builder) Four tiers billed in USD every 30 days, and the meter is the part that matters: you are charged on bundle sales, not on orders, products or staff. The free plan is free to install and covers up to $500 of bundle sales a month. Essential is $29 a month or $299 a year and lifts that to $3,000; Growth is $49 or $499 a year up to $5,000; Scale is $99 or $999 a year up to $10,000. Annual billing saves 14% to 16% depending on the tier, and every paid tier has a 15-day free trial. Features climb the same ladder: free gives mix-and-match, fixed and volume bundles with templates and a custom or template design; Essential adds the single-step and multi-step bundle builders, landing-page templates, search and filtering, and multi-currency and multi-language support; Growth adds advanced discount logic, custom personalisation fields, add-ons, free gifts and subscription bundles; Scale adds AI-generated designs, advanced analytics, one-to-one onboarding and an account manager on Slack. Two things the block does not say are worth noting before you commit. It does not publish what happens when you pass $10,000 of bundle sales in a month, and it does not publish an overage rate; the plan table simply ends there and links out to see all pricing options. On a re-read of the same listing on 3 November 2026 every amount above was unchanged, and the free and Essential cards now add one line each: \"Not applicable for Shopify Plus and Advanced plans.\" Growth and Scale carry no such line, so a store on Shopify Plus or Advanced should budget from Growth.",
