What Are Defaults?
Each step can have a pre-selected product. Customers see it already chosen and can keep it or change it. All defaults together create a "recommended bundle" that can be added to cart immediately.
Setting Defaults
Edit or create a Collection Bundle
For each step, click the Default Product selector
Choose a product from that step's collection
Save
The default product must be in the step's collection, published, and in stock.
Defaults with Variants
If the default product has variants (size, color):
Specific variant: Pre-select a specific variant (e.g., Medium, Gray)
No variant selected: Product is pre-selected but customer must choose a variant before the step is complete
Tip: Pre-select the most popular variant (e.g., Medium size, most neutral color).
Defaults vs Required Steps
These are independent settings:
Combination | Behavior |
Default + Required | Pre-selected, customer must have something |
Default + Optional | Pre-selected, customer can remove entirely |
No Default + Required | Customer must choose, nothing pre-selected |
No Default + Optional | Customer can skip entirely |
Removing a Default
Edit the bundle → find the step → clear the default selection → save. The step will now require customer selection.
Troubleshooting
Default not appearing — Check product is in the collection, published, and in stock
Wrong default shown — Edit step, verify selection, and save
Default shows but can't be added — Product may have required variant selection; check inventory
