Discount types

6 min read

You pick a discount type on the Discount step of the bundle editor. Fixed bundle, Mix & match and a Frequently Bought Together bundle you build yourself offer four cards: Percentage, Fixed amount, Custom price and No discount. An automatic Frequently Bought Together bundle offers Percentage and Fixed amount only. Buy X Get Y discounts the reward instead (Percentage off, Amount off, Reward price, No discount); BOGO has the same cards without No discount. Volume discount uses quantity tiers.

Discount type cards, the shopper-pays line and Limits in the bundle editor

Under the value, a green line confirms what shoppers will pay, for example "Shoppers pay $45.00 instead of $50.00 and save $5.00."

#Percentage

Takes a percentage off the combined price of all products in the bundle. A bundle with a $40 shirt and a $20 hat totals $60: a 15% discount brings it to $51 and the shopper saves $9.

Good for most bundles. "Save 15%" is easy to read and the saving grows with the price.

#Fixed amount

Takes a flat amount off the bundle total. If your store sells in multiple currencies, the amount converts automatically to the shopper's currency at checkout. A $10-off bundle charges the equivalent in pounds, euros, or any other currency your store accepts.

A $60 bundle with $10 off costs $50. The savings badge shows "You save $10."

Good when the amount is the message, like "$10 off the set". The same $10 is 33% of a $30 bundle but only 5% of a $200 one.

#Custom price

Sets the bundle to a specific total price, regardless of what the individual products cost. Like Fixed amount, the price converts to the shopper's currency in multi-currency stores.

A face wash ($18), a toner ($22), and a moisturizer ($30) have a combined retail of $70. Set the bundle to $49.99 and the shopper pays $49.99.

Good for gift sets, starter kits and promo packs where you want one round price, like $49.99.

#No discount

Groups products together in the widget without applying any price reduction. A camera and a camera bag shown together: no savings badge, no discounted price. The shopper clicks Add Bundle to Cart and both products go into the cart at full price.

Useful when the value is in the convenience of buying together, not the savings. Also good when building and testing the widget before deciding on pricing: publish as No Discount first, verify the storefront looks right, then edit the bundle to add a discount.

#Quantity Breaks (Volume Discount)

Applies tiered discounts based on how many of a product the shopper buys. This is the discount type used by Volume Discount bundles. For example: buy 2–4 and save 10%, buy 5–9 and save 20%, buy 10 or more and save 30%.

Good when you want to reward shoppers who buy in bulk. The discount scales with quantity, and the shopper sees all tiers in the widget so they can choose how many to buy.

#Discount caps and minimums

Fixed bundles and Frequently Bought Together bundles you build yourself show two more controls in the Limits card (see the picture above):

Minimum Order Value: the discount only applies if the cart total meets this threshold. The total is counted before the bundle discount comes off. Useful for protecting margin on smaller orders. Leave it at 0 for no minimum. It's turned off while the bundle is sold as one product and kept together in the cart, because that bundle has a fixed price; turn off Bundle as product, or set In the cart to add the products separately, to use one.

Maximum Discount Amount: caps the total savings. For a 20% discount with a $50 cap, a shopper buying a $300 bundle would normally save $60, but the cap brings it to $50. Leave it blank for no cap. It's hidden for Custom price and No discount.

Both controls are enforced at checkout.

Buy X Get Y, BOGO, Volume discount, Mix & match and automatic Frequently Bought Together bundles don't show these two controls.

#Discounts that would give the bundle away

The editor stops a discount that makes no sense before it reaches checkout:

a Fixed amount as large as the bundle's price or larger, which would make the bundle free;
a Custom price that isn't lower than the products' total, which would save nothing.

A red banner explains the problem (for example "$4,000.00 off is more than the bundle's $3,229.95 price, so shoppers would get it free"), and Continue and Save stay blocked until you change the value. The server runs the same check when you save.

Bundles saved before this check, and later price drops on a component, are not re-checked. If you lower a product's price, open its bundles to confirm the discount still makes sense.

#Free shipping

Every bundle type except an automatic Frequently Bought Together bundle can offer free shipping. On the Discount step, turn on Include free shipping: shipping is free at checkout for any order that qualifies for the bundle discount. Turn on Display free shipping message on the Display step to tell shoppers in the widget.

Volume discount bundles set free shipping per tier instead, from the tier you choose. See Tier rewards.

#How the discount is applied

All bundle discounts run through a single automatic Shopify discount called "Radius Bundle Discounts - DO NOT DELETE". Shopify applies it at checkout; you do not need to create separate discount codes.

If this discount is deactivated in your Shopify admin, no bundle discounts apply at checkout. Shoppers still see bundle prices on your store, but they are charged full price. A warning banner appears on the Radius Bundles dashboard and on the Settings page when this happens. See Bundle discount is turned off in Shopify for how to fix it.

#Discount stacking

By default, bundle discounts do not combine with other discounts in your store (coupon codes, other automatic discounts, or shipping discounts). You can change this in Settings → General with the Combine with other discounts switch.

Combine with other discounts in Settings > General

When stacking is on, bundle discounts combine with product discounts, order discounts, and shipping discounts. When it is off, the bundle discount does not stack with any of them.

#When a product belongs to more than one bundle

A product can belong to as many bundles as you like, and each one works independently. When two bundles could both apply to the same cart, the When more than one bundle fits a product choice in Settings → General decides which one wins:

You choose the order: you set a priority number per bundle (0–500) in the Bundle priority card under the editor's preview. The higher number wins.
Biggest saving wins: the app automatically picks whichever bundle saves the shopper the most on that cart. No numbers to manage. The Bundle priority card then reads "Highest discount wins" instead of a number; Change strategy takes you to the setting.

When two bundles share overlapping products, each product in the cart is only discounted once. The first bundle to claim it keeps it. The second bundle is skipped if it would need to discount the same items again.

#Variant-specific bundles

If a bundle is set up to apply to a specific variant of a product (for example, one size or colour), the discount only applies when the shopper has that exact variant in their cart. Other variants of the same product are not discounted.

#Mix & Match pricing

Mix & Match bundles have a separate pricing model with per-group discount support. See Mix & Match for details.
