Addly vs Shopify Bundles: Fixed Bundles and Everything Around Them

Shopify Bundles builds fixed bundles and multipacks. Addly adds quantity breaks, mix and match, offers from real orders, and the same features on every plan.

Key takeaways

  • Shopify Bundles is the first-party app for fixed bundles and multipacks.
  • Addly keeps fixed sets and adds quantity breaks, mix and match, add-ons and suggestions from orders.
  • The discount is a real Shopify discount, with a separate volume price when the pack is not a fixed set.

Shopify Bundles is the first-party answer for a simple pack. You group products into a fixed bundle or a multipack, and Shopify sells that group. Addly still makes sets. It is for stores whose product page has to do more than one pack at a fixed price.

A sealed gift set that never changes fits a fixed bundle. A three-pack of the same soap can too. The page outgrows that the first time a shopper should choose the contents, or buy three of the same SKU for less, or see the product people actually purchase alongside it.

Fixed packs are a decision. They are one decision.

Shopify Bundles is deliberately narrow. Fixed bundles and multipacks. There is no quantity ladder, no mix-and-match builder, no add-on under the buy button. The app is free, and it lives in the admin merchants already trust. Use that narrowness on purpose, for the kit that should stay sealed.

Addly can still sell a fixed set. It can also sell the shapes that show up the week the sealed kit is not enough.

  • Frequently bought together, from purchase history or from a set you choose.
  • Quantity breaks and volume discounts, with a separate ladder per variant.
  • Mix and match and build-a-box, so the shopper picks the contents.
  • Add-ons for the optional extra.
  • Live preview, 13 languages, Shopify Markets, and offer analytics.
  • The same list on Forever Free, under 15 orders a month, and on the $9.99, $24.99 and $49.99 plans.

The discount is Shopify's own. Checkout does not have to translate a private price into a real one. If the set should appear again after add to cart, Addy can present it in the drawer.

A fixed multipack can remain the hero. Addly does not force a ladder onto a product that should stay a sealed set. The ladder is there for the SKU that should have one. Addly is rated 4.9 from 111 reviews and is Built for Shopify.

When to move

Stay with a fixed pack when every offer you will ever run is a sealed set. Move to Addly when the catalogue needs a pack and a quantity break and a box, and you want one discount for all three.

The definitions are in Shopify product bundles. If you are unsure whether a ladder or a sealed pack fits a SKU, quantity breaks vs volume discounts splits them.

Frequently asked questions

Should I replace Shopify Bundles with Addly?

Move when you need more than a fixed bundle or multipack. Addly still creates sets, and it also runs quantity breaks, mix and match, add-ons and offers from purchase history.

Does Addly use Shopify discounts?

Yes. Offers go through Shopify's own discount system, so the bundle price is a real Shopify discount at checkout.

Is Addly free?

Addly is free under 15 orders a month, with every feature included. Paid plans are $9.99, $24.99 and $49.99 as order volume grows.
