Stephen & Penelope review for Shopify Bundles

Sept. 26, 2023

Excited to see this expand and evolve, but we can't use it as it stands now. We're revisiting this app in the future and hopefully some of the cons here will have been worked out. Pros: 1- Auto price calculation and updating. 2- Might provide more accurate stock or less discrepancies ( which happen already very rarely with the other bundles app we use). 3- You can see that the line items are bundles in Shopify. You can't see this in the other app we use. Cons: 1- Can't show in any sale channel except online store, no POS and no IG social media. So it's affecting instagram marketing. 2- The line item "type" takes the "type" from components and doesn't have its own. This causes issues with our email flows so people don't receive an associated email we have set up. Changing the product type or tags on the components would affect all of our other collections conditions. 3- Stock tracking and adjustment history and committed orders don't show on the kit line item which makes stock investigations a bit more complex. 4- App feel like a work in progress features-wise 5- Bulk edit doesn't work on some of the features so we have to use another app for edits like the weight. 6- Can't be used on a pre-existing line item which means we would have to re-do ALL existing bundles. The investment of this work is high. 7- Printed invoices don't reflect that the customer has bought a bundle so it makes pulling and organizing orders harder (especially if it's a launch with bundles from different pulling locations in addition to non-bundled items).
