🐰 How Can I Sell My Product Only in a Bundle

A step-by-step guide on how to make your products available only through bundles

Updated yesterday

You can sell a product exclusively as part of a bundle, so customers won’t be able to purchase it individually in your online store. The Fast Bundle app creates a standalone “Bundle as a Product” (BAP) for Fixed and Mix and Match bundles, and the steps to sell products only in a bundle vary depending on the BAP type used in your bundle.

Single BAP:

If you’re using a Single BAP bundle, follow the steps below to ensure the product can only be purchased as part of the bundle:

Hide the product from your Online Store

1. Navigate to Shopify Admin > Products > Choose your product > In the Publishing section, click on the icon below:

2. Toggle off the Online Store sales channel, and press the Done button.

3. Save the changes.

This removes the product page from your storefront so customers cannot buy it individually.

Create a bundle using Single BAP

1. In the Fast Bundle app, create your Fixed bundle

2. In the Details section, under "How to present the bundle in cart, checkout, and order," select Single BAP.

3. Save the bundle.

Now the product can be successfully purchased as part of the bundle only, and it is no longer available for individual purchase.

Cart page:

Checkout:

If customers click the product name to view its product page, they will be redirected to a 404 page, because the product is not published on your Online Store.

Here’s what customers will see when they click the product name inside the bundle:

⚠️ Important notes:

  • Single BAP is only available on the Fixed bundle

  • Since Single BAP is treated as a standard Shopify product, it is subject to the Shopify variant limit of 100 per product.

Cart Transform BAP

If you have a Fixed or Mix and Match bundle with Cart Transform BAP and want to sell the included products only as part of the bundle, follow the steps below.

Unlist the product from your Online Store

1. Navigate to Shopify Admin > Products > Choose your product > Open the drop-down menu in the Status section > Choose Unlist

2. Save the changes.

⚠️ Important note:

Unlisted products won’t show up in your store, collections, or search results. Customers can only see them if they visit the product’s direct link

Create a bundle using Cart Transform BAP

1. In the Fast Bundle app, create a Fixed or Mix and Match (Tiered discount or Single discount) bundle

2. In the Details section, under "How to present the bundle in cart, checkout, and order," select Cart Transform BAP.

3. Save the bundle.

Now, the product can only be added as part of the bundle

Cart page:

Checkout:

Prevent customers from accessing the product via URL

When a product is unlisted in Shopify, it will not appear in your store’s navigation, collections, or search results. Customers can only access it by its direct URL. Therefore, if customers click on the product name in the bundle, they can still view the product, because even though it is unlisted, it remains accessible through its URL.

To prevent purchases outside the bundle, there are two options to proceed:

Option 1: Create a Custom Product Template

  • Go to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Theme > Customize.

  • From the top menu, select Products

  • Create a new template based on the current product template from which you want to remove the extra Add to Cart button, and assign it a name.

    In this example, we’ll create the "No-ATC-Template" based on the Default product template.

  • Remove or hide the Add to Cart button from this template and save.

  • Assign this new template to the product you want to sell only within a bundle by navigating to:

    Shopify Admin > Products > Select the product > In the "Theme template" section, assign this new template to your product:

Now, when a customer clicks on a product name within the bundle, the product page will open, but the Add to Cart button will not be available for the product:

Option 2: Contact Fast Bundle Support

You're more than welcome to reach out to our 24/7 Support Team, and we can make the product name unclickable for you, ensuring that the product can only be accessed and purchased as part of the bundle.

Multi BAP

In Multi BAP bundles, each product in the bundle is added to the cart as a separate line item. This means that after the bundle is added to the cart, customers can use the quantity selector in the cart drawer or on the cart page to adjust the quantity of any individual product and purchase it separately.

Because of this behavior, it is not possible to sell products exclusively within a bundle when using the Multi BAP bundle type.
