What is Automatic Bundle Detection?
By default, discounts are applied only when customers add bundles to their cart using the bundle's widget or bundle as a product page.
"Automatic Bundle Detection" is a feature where discounts are automatically applied even if the individual products within the bundles are added separately (from their product pages, using the + or - buttons in the cart, or other methods) rather than through Fast Bundle's widgets or bundle as a product page. This feature is currently available only on our Enterprise plan.
Example of default behavior (When the feature is off)
Let's take this bundle for example: A Fixed bundle with two items
Bundle as a product page:
Bundle's widget on the included product pages of the bundle:
Using the bundle's add-to-cart button
If the customer clicks the add-to-cart button on the bundle's widget or the bundle as a product page, and then proceeds to checkout, the discount will be applied correctly.
By adding the complete bundle, the discount is applied in checkout (the above image).
Adding each product separately
When Automatic Bundle Detection is off, and the customer adds the items separately, the discount will not be applied, as shown in the image below:
If Automatic Bundle Detection was on, the bundle discount would be applied to the items even though the items were not added through the bundle widget.
How Do I Turn Automatic Bundle Detection On?
To enable the Automatic Bundle Detection feature, navigate to the Fast Bundle admin panel. Proceed to the Settings tab, and scroll down to see the Discount section, then opt for the "Always apply the discount" choice. Please note that this functionality is exclusively accessible only to Enterprise plan users.
Difference Between Clicked-On and Non-Clicked Bundles
Bundles that are added to the cart using the add-to-cart button on the bundle's widget or the bundle as a product page are prioritized over bundles that are detected automatically based on items added separately.
This means that if a product (e.g., Item X) is part of both Bundle A and Bundle B:
If the customer clicks the add-to-cart button of Bundle A on the bundle's widget or the bundle as a product page, that bundle will be prioritized and receive the discount.
If the customer adds Item X from its standalone product page (without using a bundle's add-to-cart button), the app will auto-detect applicable bundles, and the discount will apply to either bundle randomly.
