Another active bundle already covers at least one of the products you are targeting, in a way Atlas refuses: the same specific products, the same collection, or an all-products bundle alongside any other bundle. Find the bundle that overlaps, then either narrow it, narrow the new one, or delete one of them.
In this article:
The five messages and what each means
Message | What it means |
| You are creating an all-products bundle and any other bundle exists |
| An all-products bundle already covers everything |
| Another bundle targets at least one of the same products |
| That collection is already covered |
| An all-products bundle already covers everything |
ℹ️ The third message contains a small grammatical error in the product. It is reproduced here exactly so a search for the message you saw finds this article.
Step 1: Find the conflicting bundle
Open
Bundle Dealsin Atlas.Set the filter to
Active. Only active bundles conflict; drafts do not.Look at each active bundle's product targeting.
Work in this order, because it resolves fastest:
Is any bundle set to
All products? If so, that is your conflict, whatever else you were trying to do.Is any bundle targeting the same collection?
Is any bundle targeting one of the same products? Check individual products, not just the obvious ones.
Step 2: Choose how to resolve it
Four options, depending on what you actually want.
Narrow the existing bundle. If it is set to All products but only really needs to cover one category, change it to Specific collections. Your new bundle can then cover the rest.
Narrow the new bundle. Target products the existing bundle does not.
Edit the existing bundle instead of creating a new one. Often the real intent. If you want a different offer for the same products, change the offers on the bundle that already covers them.
Delete or deactivate the old bundle. Setting it back to draft frees its products immediately.
💡 Editing the existing bundle is usually right. Two bundles for the same products is rarely what anyone actually wants, and one bundle with better-designed tiers does the same job with none of the conflict.
The all-products trap
⚠️ An all-products bundle blocks every other bundle on your store. It is the single most common cause of this error. Avoid it from the start if you ever plan to run different offers for different categories.
If you have one and want more granularity:
Note the offers on the all-products bundle.
Change its targeting to a specific collection, or set it to draft.
Create your category bundles.
Recreate the original as a collection bundle if you still want it.
Collections that overlap
Two bundles on different collections never cause this message, even when a product belongs to both, because Atlas does not refuse them. Avoid them: only one bundle shows on that product's page, and you can't choose which.
This is easy to miss with automated collections, where membership is decided by conditions rather than chosen by hand. A product tagged for two different automated collections quietly sits in both.
To check, open the product in Shopify and look at its Collections list. If a product appears in two collections that each have a bundle, that is your overlap.
Fix it in Shopify by tightening the collection conditions, so each product sits in only one bundle-targeted collection.
If no bundle seems to conflict
Check these before contacting support:
Filter by
Active, notAll. A draft you had forgotten does not conflict, so if you see the error, something active is behind it.Look for a bundle in another project. The conflict is store-wide, not per project, and the Bundle Deals screen shows all of them.
Check the exact message.
