Setting Up Bundle Recommendation Popups
After creating a bundle set, you can leverage recommendation popups to promote it further. When a customer adds a product from the bundle to their cart, a popup will appear showcasing the entire set, encouraging them to purchase it. Follow these steps to set up a recommendation popup:

3.4 Choose Display page: Decide to display the popup on all bundled product pages or just the main product page.
- Click Update to save your popup settings.
Important Notes on Bundle Recommendation Popups
- When a customer adds an item from a bundle to their cart, the configured popup will appear to showcase the entire bundle for purchase.
- Clicking the purchase button within the popup adds the entire bundle to their cart.
- If an add-on promotion is active for the product, it will take priority over the bundle popup and be displayed on the product page.
- If you have multiple bundle popups for the same product, the one associated with the most recently updated bundle set will appear. This aligns with the priority of which bundle is displayed on the product page.
- Remember to set your bundle set to enabled for its recommendation popup to appear. Disabled bundles won't trigger popups.
Advanced Settings for Created Bundle Sets
For created bundles, you can fine-tune your promotional strategies with the Advanced Settings feature. This functionality empowers you to define rules for partial bundle purchases with discounts, configure the stacking of promotions with coupon codes, decide the number of bundles displayed on product pages, and prioritize specific bundles within that limit.
For a detailed explanation of these advanced options, please refer to the dedicated guide on "Advanced Settings."
