You may have made your bundle into a product (combo product or BAP) using the Fast Bundle app, and you may have set it to Multi BAP or Cart Transform:
For these BAP (Bundle as Product) types, there is a correct way to add each bundle to the cart. Since these bundle types generate a dummy product to represent the bundle, it's important to ensure that the actual products included in the bundle are added to the cart, not the dummy product itself.
Invalid BAP example
Multi BAP:
Let's take the "Black Friday Set" bundle as an example.
This is how the bundle as a product (BAP) looks on its product page.
And it's supposed to get added to the cart when you click on the Add to Cart button as shown in the image below (separate items):
But sometimes, the bundle as a product itself gets added to the cart incorrectly, as illustrated:
Cart Transform BAP:
Let's take the "Choose Your Jewelry" bundle as an example.
This is how the bundle as a product (BAP) looks on its product page.
Here’s how it should appear: the bundle should be listed as a single product, with a dropdown showing all the included items beneath it.
Sometimes, the bundle as a product may be added to the cart incorrectly. When this happens with a Cart Transform BAP, the issue typically becomes noticeable only at the checkout page.
If the bundle is added incorrectly, there will be no dropdown at checkout showing the included items of the bundle; only the bundle as a product itself will appear.
The Invalid BAP problem goes beyond how items are displayed in the cart; it can affect how things are reflected in the order. For example, if you have product variants, you'd want those variants to be correctly accounted for. So this matter needs to be addressed.
Reasons for the Invalid BAP
You may have an Add To Cart button for this product on some pages other than its product detail page, like some collection pages.
If a customer uses an Add To Cart button on a collection page for a bundle as a product, it may get added to the cart incorrectly as a single product.
In some themes, Fast Bundle can't change the functionality of the Add to Cart button on the product page of the bundle to add the included product to the cart.
The Modal:
If the BAP is mistakenly added to the cart as a single product, a "Modal Popup" can be shown to the user right away. The appearance of the modal will resemble the image below.
The products that are included in the BAP will be displayed in this modal. If there are variants available, the user can select them. To replace the bundle product with the included products, the user needs to click on the "Fix Your Cart" button.
