How to Set Up Outfit Bundles on Shopify

To set up outfit bundles on Shopify, install a bundles app, pick the pieces that make up the outfit, set one price for the set, and test the product page on your phone. Shopify states that you must have a bundles app installed to create product bundles.

This guide covers the steps and the fashion-specific problems, especially sizes. If you also want shoppers to see the garments on themselves, adding virtual try-on to Shopify works on the same product pages.

What is an outfit bundle?

Shopify defines a bundle as "a set of two or more related products, commonly offered at a discount". An outfit bundle is that idea for clothing: a top, bottom and accessory sold as one look.

There are two common shapes:

• Fixed bundle. The shopper gets exactly the pieces you chose.
• Mix and match. The shopper picks from a short list for each slot.

Fixed bundles are simpler. Mix and match suits stores with many sizes and colors.

What do you need before you start?

Prepare these before you open the app:

• A short list of outfits. Start with a handful, not your whole catalog.
• Products with variants already set up. Sizes and colors should exist on each item. If not, read how to set up size variants for clothing first.
• Stock you can honor. A bundle sells only if every piece is in the shopper's size.
• A lookbook photo. One clear image of the whole outfit.

How do you create the bundle step by step?

Features differ by app, so follow your app's own screens. The general order is the same.

1. Install a bundles app from the Shopify App Store and approve its permissions.
2. Create a new bundle and name it after the look, such as "Linen weekend set".
3. Add the component products. Choose each piece from your catalog.
4. Set the price. Decide whether the set is cheaper than buying separately, or the same price with a benefit such as free shipping.
5. Choose the variants. Let the shopper pick a size for each piece.
6. Add the images and description. Lead with the full-outfit photo.
7. Publish and preview. Open the page on your phone and add the bundle to the cart.

Check the cart and checkout. Confirm that each piece shows its size and the price is what you expect.

How should you handle sizes in a bundle?

Sizes are where outfit bundles go wrong. A shopper may be a medium in the top and a larger size in the trousers.

Let the shopper choose a size for each piece instead of one size for the set. Put a clear note beside each selector, such as "Trousers run slightly small, check the chart".

You can also help with the choice itself. ZeDaq.ai gives a size recommendation from a 30-second body scan, matched against your own size chart, one chart per garment type. That fits bundles well because tops, bottoms and dresses use different charts. Our guide to Shopify markets for international sales also helps if your sizes need to show in several regions.

How do you make the bundle page convincing?

Show the look, then explain it. A shopper buys an outfit because they can picture wearing it.

• Lead with the photo of the full outfit.
• List each piece with its fabric and fit notes.
• Show the saving in plain words, without inflated claims.
• Add try-on if you use it, so the shopper can see a single piece on themselves.

Keep the description short. One clear paragraph beats a long block of copy.

How do bundles affect returns?

Bundles can create more returns when only one piece does not fit. Plan for that before you launch.

Decide whether shoppers can return one piece or the whole set, and write it in your policy. If the discount depends on buying all pieces, say what happens to the price when one is returned. Capturing the reason helps you improve the next version, and our guide to return reason codes shows how to record it.

What does it cost to add try-on to bundle pages?

Try-on and size scans count against your plan. The Free plan includes 3 try-ons and 3 measurements a month, enough to test. Micro is $14 a month, with $1 for the first month on monthly plans, then $14 a month. Every paid plan has a 3-day free trial with no card required. Check current terms on the ZeDaq.ai pricing page.

FAQs

Do I need a paid app to make bundles?

You need a bundles app installed, according to Shopify. Pricing varies by app, so check each listing on the Shopify App Store.

Can shoppers pick a different size for each piece?

That depends on your bundles app. Look for variant selection per component before you choose one.

Should a bundle be cheaper than the separate pieces?

Not always. A small saving, free shipping or a styled look can all work. Choose what suits your margins.

Does try-on work on a bundle page?

Try-on works on a product page with a garment image. For a bundle, test how your theme shows the button, and set the garment type to match the piece you want shown.
