 "summary": "Shopify app that covers every bundle format from one place — fixed bundles, mix-and-match, build-your-own, BOGO, volume breaks and AI frequently-bought-together — on product pages, in the cart and in POS. Shopify pulled the app after a July 2026 security incident and relisted it on 30 July.",
 "best_for": "Shopify merchants who want every bundle and upsell format from one app — mix-and-match, build-your-own, BOGO, volume breaks, AI frequently-bought-together — priced against what those offers actually earn rather than a flat fee, and who are comfortable with an app that Shopify delisted for two weeks in July 2026 and then restored",
 "skip_if": "you need one bundle type only, where a single-purpose app costs less than the metered ladder; you sell in person, since Shopify POS support sits behind the $299 Enterprise tier; or an app in your path to checkout having been pulled and deactivated once, however well handled, is a risk you cannot carry",
 "honest_knock": "The most important thing about this app is not on its App Store listing. On 17 July 2026 Fast Bundle detected what its own status page calls a security attack; Shopify removed the app from the App Store as a precaution and deactivated it on existing stores, so merchants found it simply gone. It was restored to limited visibility on 30 July and fully searchable again on 3 August, after Shopify reviewed an incident report and a third-party vulnerability and penetration test. The vendor states its investigation and testing found no indication that any customer, store or shopper data was accessed, exposed or leaked, and that 2,405 stores had reinstalled by early August. Shopify's own words, quoted on that page, are that the app “has been restored to limited visibility”.\n\nNobody outside the process can verify what was reached, and neither the vendor nor Shopify has published the technical detail. What is verifiable is the shape of the disruption: a storefront-facing app pulled without warning, deactivated on live stores, and roughly two weeks coming back. If your bundles carry your average order value, that is the risk you are underwriting — not because it is likely to recur, but because it has happened once and the app sits in the path to checkout.\n\nThe review record needs reading with that date in mind. 5.0 from 3,031 reviews is exceptional, and the breakdown is 3,000 at five stars against 19 at one. But most of that history predates July 2026, and Shopify app ratings skew high because merchants are prompted for them. What an average cannot tell you is how a vendor handles an incident, and on that the status page is the better evidence: dated, specific, quoting Shopify directly, and correcting its own earlier estimates in public. That is a good sign about communication rather than about security.\n\nOne practical hazard came out of the outage and has not gone away. While the app was delisted, other apps renamed themselves to include “Fast Bundle” — the vendor names Fast Bundle Offer, BOGO, BYOB; Sparrow Fast Bundle Upsell App; and Rabbit Fast Bundle & Upsell — and Shopify subsequently delisted three of them. Searching the App Store for the name is therefore not a reliable way to find this app. Install from the listing slug, fast-bundle-product-bundles, and check that the developer reads Fast Bundle.\n\nFinally, the listing's data grant is broad even for this category: it edits customers and customer tags, products, inventory and collections, orders including third-party fulfilment and order edits, discount codes and promotions, Shopify Functions cart transforms, the checkout page and Online Store pages. Cart transforms are how a bundle becomes a single line item, so the scope is explicable, but an app with write access to your discounts and your checkout page belongs in your processing register and in whatever review you run after an incident like July's.",

  "notes": "(read 2026-08-24 on apps.shopify.com/fast-bundle-product-bundles, listed as “FBP | Fast Bundle & Upsell App”, and on fastbundle.co/pricing) The meter here is not your catalogue, your traffic or your seats — it is the revenue your bundles themselves generate. The listing is free to install and shows four tiers. Development stores are free to install and free to run. Standard (1K) is $19 a month or $180 a year and covers up to $1,000 of monthly bundle sales. Standard (3K) is $49 a month or $468 a year for up to $3,000. Standard (10K) is $139 a month or $1,380 a year for up to $10,000. All three paid tiers carry a 7-day free trial and the same feature list: unlimited bundles, upsells and cross-sells, mix and match, volume-discount upsell, BOGO and Buy X Get Y, unlimited AI frequently-bought-together, product add-ons, 24/7 English support and the AI bundle image generator. The App Store states all charges are billed in USD and recur every 30 days.\n\nThe vendor's own pricing page adds a fifth tier the listing never shows: Enterprise at $299 a month or $2,988 a year, described as limitless monthly bundle revenue, with automatic bundle detection in the cart, Shopify POS integration, minor specialised customisations, priority onboarding with an account manager and a five-minute support target against Standard's thirty. That page also prices the annual commitments as effective monthly rates — $15, $39, $115 and $249 — under a “2-MONTHS FREE” label, and it is the only place the free plan is described in full: all six bundle types, 24/7 support, available to development stores and “eligible merchants”, and capped at $500 in bundle sales a month. Its comparison table shows what the free tier gives up: volume discounts and product add-ons on selected products only rather than collections or the whole catalogue, no AI frequently-bought-together across all products, no multilingual translation, no subscription-app integration, and a “Powered by Fast Bundle” credit left on your storefront.\n\nFast Bundle's own FAQ defines the metered revenue as sales through bundles, volume discounts, product add-ons, mix and match, Buy X Get Y, frequently bought together and other offers created with the app, and states that exceeding your plan's monthly bundle revenue limit means upgrading to keep campaigns running. Developer Fast Bundle, listed at 13353 Commerce Parkway, Unit 2353, Richmond, BC, Canada; the app launched on 26 November 2020, the vendor's site claims 22,400 merchants, and the listing carried 3,031 reviews at a 5.0 average at the time of writing.",
