A complete, easy-to-follow guide to create, configure, and launch Bundle Quantity Breaks — allowing you to sell “2-Pack,” “3-Pack,” “5-Pack,” etc. options for a single product with automatic discounts and simplified inventory management.
Before You Begin #
- Ensure the parent product (base SKU) already exists in your Shopify store.
1) Enable Bundle Quantity Break #
- Log in to your Easy Subscription admin panel.
- Navigate to Features → Bundle Quantity Break.
2) Create a New Bundle #
- Go to Products → Create Bundle (or open an existing product and click Create Bundle Quantity Break).
- Select the Parent Product / SKU — the main product the bundle will reference.
- Click Continue
3) Add Quantity Breaks (Bundle Tiers) #
For each bundle you’d like to offer (e.g., 2-Pack, 3-Pack, 5-Pack):
- Click Add Tier.
- Enter Quantity — for example, 2, 3, or 5.
- Add a Title (e.g., “3-Pack — Save 15%”).
- (Optional) Upload a custom image for the tier.
- (Optional) Add a short description if needed.
- Set your Pricing method:
- Fixed price (e.g., $45 total), or
- Discount type (Percentage, Flat-off, or Amount-off).
- Click Save Tier.
- Repeat these steps for each additional quantity break.
4) Link Inventory to Parent SKU #
To ensure all bundles share the same stock:
- In the bundle setup, confirm Inventory tracking is set to Use Parent SKU.
- (Optional) If multiple variants exist, select the specific variant to link.
- Click Save.
This ensures selling a “3-Pack” deducts three units from the main product’s inventory.
5) Configure How It Appears on the Storefront #
- Go to Appearance → Bundle Quantity Break Widget.
- Choose your preferred layout:
- Card view
- Button selection
- Dropdown menu
- Customize:
- Enable “Show Savings” labels.
- Enable Dynamic Price Update (recommended).
- Set the default selection (e.g., Single Pack).
- Click Preview to check how it looks on your product page.
- Once satisfied, click Publish Widget.
6) Make It Subscription-Compatible (Optional) #
If you offer recurring orders:
- Open the bundle you created.
- Toggle Allow as Subscription to On.
- Assign subscription plans and billing intervals (e.g., every 30 or 60 days).
- Ensure pricing logic reflects the correct discounted bundle rate.
- Save your changes.
The subscription price will automatically reflect the Bundle Quantity Break discount.
7) Tokenization & Payment Validation #
If you’re using Shopify Payments or another tokenized gateway:
- Confirm your customers are redirected to the Shopify tokenization page during checkout.
- Complete a test purchase to verify that recurring subscriptions are linked properly.
8) Test the Complete Flow #
Perform these tests before going live:
- Product Page
- Confirm the bundle widget displays correctly.
- Switching tiers updates the price dynamically.
- Cart Drawer
- Adding a bundle shows the right name, price, and quantity.
- Checkout
- Verify order summary displays the selected bundle and correct pricing.
- Subscription Flow
- Subscribe using a bundle to confirm the correct price and billing frequency are applied.
- Inventory Reduction
- A “3-Pack” purchase reduces inventory by 3 units.
- Customer Portal
- Confirm bundle and subscription details appear properly for the customer.
9) Troubleshooting Guide #
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
| Bundle price not updating | Theme script conflict | Reinitialize product form scripts from Appearance → Advanced |
| Inventory not syncing | Parent SKU not linked | Re-select the parent SKU and re-sync |
| Incorrect renewal price | Bundle not mapped to subscription plan | Refresh plan mapping under subscription settings |
| “Out of Stock” error | Parent product sold out | Restock or temporarily disable that bundle |
| Widget not showing | Snippet missing from theme | Reinstall snippet from Appearance → Theme Integration |
10) Best Practices #
- Always highlight savings — e.g., “Save 20%” badges improve conversion.
- Use distinct images for multi-unit bundles.
- Feature your Bundle Quantity Break offers in email or SMS campaigns.
- Start with simple 2- and 3-Pack options before adding larger ones.
- Regularly monitor performance and stock levels.
11) Disable or Edit a Bundle #
- Open the bundle in your Easy Subscription dashboard.
- Toggle Enabled → Off to disable temporarily.
- (Optional) Hide the widget on the product page.
- Existing subscriptions remain unaffected unless canceled manually.
