Global Bundle Recommendation Settings – SHOPLINE Help Center

You can use the Global Bundle Recommendation feature to create bundles that display your desired recommended products on all product detail pages by pairing them with any product the customer is currently viewing. You can also set discounts for these global bundle recommendations to increase the exposure of your key products.

Creating Global Bundle Recommendation

On the homepage of the Product Upsells & Bundles app, go to Global bundle recommendation.
In the Bundle name section, enter a custom name for the global bundle recommendation, for example: Frequently Bought Together. The Bundle name will be displayed on the product details page.
In the Bundle products section, select the bundled products you want to display on each page.

Notes:

You can select up to five bundle products.
If the product currently being browsed by the customer is one of your selected bundle products, it will serve as the main product and will not appear again as part of the bundle products. A product won't appear twice within the same bundle.

In the Bundle discount section, set the discount customers can enjoy when purchasing the complete bundle.

Percentage discount: Customers purchasing the complete bundle will receive a corresponding percentage discount.
Fixed amount discount: Set the fixed amount to be discounted for the bundle and the threshold for obtaining this discount. When customers purchase the complete bundle and the original selling price fulfills the threshold, the bundle can be discounted by the corresponding fixed amount.
Get the lowest-priced item free: When customers purchase the complete bundle, the lowest-priced item within the bundle will get a full discount.

In the Action after 'add to cart' section, set the page customers will be directed to after clicking the buy button in the bundle module.

Enter checkout page: After clicking BUY TOGETHER in the bundle module, customers go to the checkout page, where they can only purchase the bundled products for this transaction.
Enter shopping cart page: After clicking Add to cart of product bundles, customers go to the shopping cart page, where they can proceed with the checkout process for both the bundled products and other items.

In the Exclude specific products section, you can set products to be excluded from participation in the global bundle recommendation activity.

If there are certain products you don't wish to include in the global bundle recommendation, you can select these products in the Exclude specific products section. Once set, these products won't be included in any global bundle recommendation. If a customer is browsing an excluded product, no global bundle recommendation will be displayed on the product detail page because the product has been excluded.

Notes:

When setting exclusions in the admin, the excluded products cannot overlap with the products included in the bundle.
You can exclude up to 50 products from the global bundle recommendation.

In the Bundle display section, set the display position of the product bundle on the product detail page by clicking Edit.
In the Promotion information display section, set the display format for the promotion information of the product bundle.

If the bundle discount is a Percentage discount, you can choose to display the total discount as a percentage or an amount and select the option to display the discount for individual products by checking the checkbox of Display the discounted price of a single product.
If the bundle discount is a Fixed amount discount or Get the lowest-priced item free, the total discount will appear as an amount, and you can choose whether to display the discount for individual products by checking the checkbox of Display the discounted price of a single product.

Click the Create button to confirm that the status of the bundle is Enabled.

Editing Global Bundle Recommendation

You can edit activity information for global recommended bundles in any state. This includes modifying the bundle name, bundled products, bundle discounts, purchase methods for the bundle, exclusion of specific products, and bundle styles from the activity settings page.

Steps:

On the homepage of the Product Upsells & Bundles application, select Global bundle recommendation, and click Configure a set to access the editing page.
After adjusting, click the Update button. The latest activity information will then be displayed in your store, and customers will see the most up-to-date activity information when browsing.

Notes:

Orders that have already been placed and the discounts that customers have already enjoyed are not affected by the activity update.
Bundles that have been added to the shopping cart or entered the checkout page but have not yet been checked out are subject to your updated bundle information.

At any time, you can disable the corresponding global bundle recommendation. In the activity settings page, click the Enable switch to close the activity. Once the Global bundle recommendation feature is disabled, it will no longer appear on any product detail pages.

Querying Global Bundle Recommendation

If you want to check the current global bundle recommendation for certain products in your store, use the Product Upsells & Bundles' Product bundle management section to conduct the query.

Steps:

From the Product Upsells & Bundles homepage > the Activity Settings section > Query products button in Product bundle management.
After selecting a product, the Product bundle management section will display all the manual tie-in bundles, automatic bundles, global bundle recommendations, and add-on sales associated with that product. You can quickly view the corresponding activities and their current status here.
When you click Manage global recommendation, you can go to the global bundle recommendation settings page to make adjustments to your settings.

Notes:

When your product is marked as an excluded item, you won't be able to find the global bundle recommendation that includes this product. As a result, this module won't appear in the Product bundle management section.
If your activity has only one bundled product and it matches the product you're currently querying, the Global bundle recommendation module won't be displayed because a global bundle recommendation cannot be created with just one item.

Considerations for Creating Global Bundle Recommendation

Before configuring a set for the Global bundle recommendation feature, please take note of the following considerations:

Only 1 automatic tie-in bundle can be created for each store, and this setting applies to all products by default.
On each product detail page within the current store, only one product set can be displayed. The priority order for display is manual tie-in bundles first, followed by automatic bundles, and finally the global bundle recommendation. If a customer browses a product without any manual or automatic tie-in bundles available for display, the product will then be combined with the global bundle recommendation.
To ensure the automatic bundle is displayed, make sure you have selected the option under Advanced settings > Bundles display rules. For detailed configuration, please refer to the Advanced Settings.
When configuring the global recommendation, if the product being browsed by a customer is part of the global bundle recommendation, it will be considered as the main product and won’t appear again as part of the bundled products. A product won't appear twice within the same bundle.
