Mix & Match Bundles
Template Type: Product
Mix & Match bundles are created as Shopify products, so they live on product pages.
Setup:
Create or use a product template
Add the Mix & Match Bundle app block
Position below title/price area
Assign your Mix & Match bundle products to this template
Why product templates?
The bundle has a product page URL
Customers expect product page behavior
Works with your existing product page layout
Pack Builder Bundles
Template Type: Product
Pack Builder bundles are also Shopify products with variants for each pack size.
Setup:
Create or use a product template
Add the Pack Builder app block
Position prominently (the pack interface is the main focus)
Assign your Pack Builder products to this template
Layout tips:
Pack Builder has a lot of UI (product grid, pack summary, etc.)
Consider wider layouts or full-width sections
Hide default variant selectors (Pack Builder handles pack size selection)
Collection Bundles
Template Type: Product OR Page
Collection Bundles are flexible—they can work on either product pages or standalone pages.
Option A: Product Template (Most Common)
The bundle is attached to a product, giving you:
Standard product page URL
Ability to use product features (SEO, reviews, etc.)
Consistent with other bundle types
Setup:
Create or use a product template
Add the Collection Bundle app block
The block becomes the main content (shows all steps)
Assign your Collection Bundle products to this template
Option B: Page Template
For standalone bundle experiences not tied to a product.
Use cases:
Landing pages for marketing campaigns
"Build Your Box" pages that aren't traditional products
When you want a custom URL like
/pages/build-your-dinner
Setup:
Create a page template
Add the Collection Bundle app block
Create a Shopify Page and assign this template
The Collection Bundle block will display on that page

Using the Default Product Template
You can add bundle blocks to your default product template, but there are tradeoffs:
Pros:
Simple—no extra templates to manage
Bundle blocks only show on bundle products (smart detection)
Cons:
Default template may have elements you don't want on bundles
Less control over bundle-specific layout
May confuse the template structure
Best practice: Create dedicated templates for bundles unless you have a very simple store.
Template Organization Example
A store selling candles with different bundle options might have:
Template | Products Using It |
Default product | Regular candle products |
Bundle | Mix & Match "Candle Trio" bundle |
Pack Builder | "Build Your Candle Box" pack |
Collection Bundle | "Seasonal Gift Set" step-by-step bundle |

Common Mistakes
Wrong block on wrong template
Adding the Pack Builder block to a template used by Mix & Match products won't work. Each bundle type needs its matching block.
Forgetting to assign the template
Creating a perfect bundle template but leaving products on the default template means the bundle won't display.
Adding blocks to the wrong page type
Adding product-specific blocks to homepage or collection templates won't show bundles properly.
