Understanding Volume Discount Bundles and When to Use Them

Volume discount bundles are a way to give customers a better deal when they buy more than one of the same product. Instead of paying full price for each item, they get a discount based on how many they buy. It’s a great way to encourage people to stock up, save money, and get more value from their purchases. This type of bundle works especially well for products that people use often or are likely to buy in multiples.

The volume bundle widget is displayed on a product's page, integrating with some of the theme's functions (such as the variant picker) to better promote the product.

What is the BOGO template in the Volume bundle?

The BOGO (Buy X, Get Y) template in a Volume bundle lets customers receive the same product for free. For example, if a customer buys 1 Product A, they can get an additional Product A for free.

This is a sample of a BOGO template of the Volume bundle widget on the product's page:

How to Create a Volume Bundle with BOGO Template

1. Click on the "Create new bundle"

To get started, click on the "Create new bundles" button on the Home page of Fast Bundle or the Bundles tab. This will open the bundle creation menu.

2. Choose bundle type

Choose the type of bundle you wish to create. In this case, we choose the "Volume Discount."

3. Choose the BOGO template

Select the BOGO template to build your bundle using this structure.

4. Add your product to the bundle

In the section below, you determine whether you want to create this bundle for a specific product, for a group of products, or for all your products.

Please note that the "All products" and "Group of products" options are only available in our paid plans.

5. Set the discount options:

In the "Discount options" section, you can configure the details of your BOGO bundle.

In this section, you can:

  • Set the free gift quantity to 0 in the first option if you don't want to offer a free gift.

  • Add a title, label, badge, or image for each discount option to appear on the bundle widget.

  • Preselect one option by default.

  • Add additional options using the "Add option" button. You can add as many options in this part as needed to maximize the value of your bundle.
    ​

6. Set a title

In the Details section, you can choose a title for the bundle, which will show on the bundle widget.

You can count on the assistance of the AI in this step, too.

7. Configure Advanced settings:

I. Variants:

By default, when you create the BOGO Volume bundle, the widget will use your theme variant selector:

In the Advanced Settings section, check the box from the "variants" dropdown to allow customers to pick different variants for each unit of items in the bundle.

By enabling this option, your theme’s variant selector will be hidden. To keep the theme’s variant selector visible on the page, check the ā€œShow Theme Variant Pickerā€ option.

As shown in the image below, the variant selector has been added to the BOGO bundle, and the theme’s variant selector is hidden. In this setup, customers can choose a variant for each item in the bundle.

II. Discount label:

From the Discount label, you can write your preferred label in the box, and that will be displayed with the discounted products in the cart page, cart drawer (mini cart), and in the checkout.

III. Pricing:

In the Pricing section, there's an option to hide the "Compare at a price" for each option:

By default, the bundle displays the ā€œCompare at a priceā€ for every option, as shown below:

If you enable the ā€œHide option’s compare-at priceā€ option, the Compare at a price will be completely removed from the widget.

Here’s how the bundle appears once the Compare at a price is hidden:

IV. ​Set active dates

You can specify start and end dates for your bundle.

āš ļø Important note:

The bundle will not appear on your storefront until the start date is reached, even if the bundle status is ā€œActive.ā€
Neither customers nor you will be able to see it on the storefront before the start date.

8. Save!

Save your changes, and you are done!
​

9. View Your Bundle

You can view your bundle using the "View on store" button at the top of the page.
