What is Automatic Bundle Detection?
By default, discounts are applied only when customers add bundles to their cart using the bundle's add-to-cart button.
"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. This feature is currently available only on our highest-tier plan.
Example of default behavior (When the feature is off)
Let's take this bundle for example: A fixed bundle with two items.
Using the bundle's add-to-cart button
If the customer were to click on the bundle's add-to-cart button and proceed to checkout, the discount would be applied.
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 section, then access Bundle Settings. Within the Discount category, locate the Discount application settings and opt for the "Always apply the discount" choice. Please note that this functionality is exclusively accessible only to the highest plan users.
Difference Between Clicked-On and Non-Clicked Bundles
Bundles that are clicked on (added to cart manually, using the bundle's add-to-cart button) are always prioritized over non-clicked bundles (whose items are added to the cart separately and are detected in the cart automatically).
This means that in a case where item X is present in both Bundle A and Bundle B, if Bundle A is added manually, it will receive the discount in the cart. However, if item X is increased in the cart, the discount for Bundle B will not be implemented, as item X is already taking part in Bundle A, and clicked-on bundles take precedence. Two bundle discounts will not be applied to the same item.
