Fixed bundles are the backbone of a successful cross-selling strategy. By grouping complementary products together, you not only make the shopping experience easier but also significantly increase your Average Order Value (AOV).
In this updated guide, we’ll walk you through the exact configuration and setup process as seen in the latest Product Bundles by Appfox interface.
🏗️ Phase 1: Initiating Your Bundle
When you enter the Appfox dashboard and click Create Bundle, you are presented with several powerful bundle types. For this guide, we are focusing on the Fixed Bundle.
- Select Bundle Type: Choose Fixed Bundle from the selection screen. This is perfect for “Buy these 3 products and save” offers.
- Basic Information:
- Bundle Title: This is the customer-facing name of your offer.
- Bundle Name: This is for your internal tracking and reporting.
- Status: Ensure this is set to Active when you’re ready to go live.
⚙️ Phase 2: Combinations & Offer Settings
One of the most powerful features in the new Appfox update is the ability to combine discounts, ensuring your customers always get the best deal without technical conflicts.
1. Discount Combinations
In the Combinations section, you can check boxes to allow your bundle discount to be combined with:
- Product discounts
- Order discounts
- Shipping discounts (e.g., “Free Shipping on orders over $100”)
2. Selecting Products
Click the Select Products button to choose the specific items for your kit. The Appfox interface will show a preview of your selections so you can visualize the bundle before saving.
3. Offer Logic
In Offer Settings, you can define your discount:
- Discount Type: Choose between Percentage, Fixed Amount, or Set Price.
- Discount Value: Enter the amount (e.g., 10 for 10% off).
🎨 Phase 3: Display & Customization
The Display Options section in Appfox is where you fine-tune the “Add to Cart” experience to match your brand’s voice.
- Button Text: Customize your CTA. Instead of “Add to Cart”, try “Add Bundle to Cart” or “Claim Offer”.
- Footer Text: You can customize the sub-text at the bottom of the widget.
- Compare at Price: Enable Show Compare at Price to highlight the savings visually (e.g.,
$100$85). - Allow Variants Selection: This is a critical checkbox. If your products have sizes or colors, checking this allows customers to choose their specific variant directly inside the bundle widget.
🎭 Phase 4: Advanced Styling (Typography & Colors)
Appfox allows for granular design control without touching a single line of CSS. The dashboard includes expandable sections for:
- Typography: Match your store’s headers and body font.
- Footer Typography: Separate control for the price and discount text.
- Colors and Borders: Customize button background colors, border radius (to match your theme’s roundness), and text colors.
🚀 Pro Tips for Fixed Bundles
- Pre-Curated Convenience: Use Fixed Bundles for “Starter Kits” where the customer might be overwhelmed by choice.
- Inventory Sync: Appfox handles the inventory of individual items, so if one item goes out of stock, the bundle automatically updates or hides to prevent overselling.
- Strategic Placement: Use the Preview pane in the app to see how your widget looks on different screen sizes before clicking Create Bundle.
