rxedev review for BOLD Bundles ‑ Product Bundles
March 31, 2014
Even though I found this app to not fit our needs, I'm going to give them 4 stars for their support. These are the limitations I found, hopefully saves some time for others who need more advanced bundling functionality. I did reach out to support asking if they planned to add these features and they said it would be considered. I'll keep my eye on this plugin however, as they mentioned they were working on other features. Lots of potential, but not right for us at the moment. - Can only use a specific item once in a bundle We are a record label and wanted to be able to create one bundle for a new release that included an LP + shirt, as well as another bundle for CD+ shirt. However, once the shirt was already added to the LP bundle, it could no longer be added to CD. - Can't see what items are included in the bundle or pricing until you reach the product page. We would like our users to be able to see all bundle packages that are available in one area or page of the site. It's nice that a "sale" badge appears over the thumbnail, but to us, that is not descriptive enough to tell our users that they can get a discount by purchasing more similar items, or that other items are included. -doesn't play nice with pre-orders We love being able to include upcoming releases and pre-orders in product bundles. we've noticed our sales have risen since we've been able to package upcoming releases in this way -doesn't update variants in price We typically charge 1 or 2 dollars more for plus sized shirts (XXL, XXXL). When using the dropdown to select a size in a bundled product, this price does not update. this would end up causing conflicts in our accounting software.
