How to Create a Bundle Discount

November 7, 2024

Bundles are a type of discount where you group related products and apply a discount to the entire group.

With bundles, you can:

  • Combine two or more products into a "package"
  • Apply a discount to a combination of products
  • Set the discounted price as percentage-based or as a fixed amount
  • Define bundles per sales channel
How to Create a Bundle Discount

Introduction

Bundles in Brink Commerce allow you to offer discounts on groups of related products, encouraging customers to buy more. All bundles are organized within Bundle Groups, which serve as a central hub for managing settings like active channels and time limitations. This tutorial will guide you through creating a Bundle Discount, organized within a Bundle Group.

Please note: If you already have existing Bundle groups, you can add Bundles to them instead of creating a new one. If so, open the desired bundle group and then skip to step 5 in this guide.

1. Navigate to Bundle Groups

  • In the Merchant Portal, go to Discounts and then select Bundle Groups.

2. Add a New Bundle Group

    • Categories via Tags: Use tags to select categories of products.
    • Combining Methods: You can combine individual product selections and categories.
