Automatic Tie-in Bundle Sets

The automatic tie-in bundle is generated automatically by algorithms. Based on the chosen recommendation method and the store's data, the system automatically creates bundles for products customers are viewing and displays these recommendations on the product detail page. The automatic tie-in bundle effectively saves setup time and provides personalized product bundles for different customers to increase conversion rates.

Before Setting Up

Please note the following points before you create automatic bundles:

• Only 1 automatic tie-in bundle can be created for each store, and this setting applies to all products by default.
• 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.
• No automatic tie-in bundle will be displayed when there is no data or sufficient products.
• When configuring an automatic bundle, the number of products you set is the maximum number that can be displayed in a bundle. If there is insufficient product data, the number of products displayed may be less than this setting.

Creating an Automatic Tie-in Bundle

1. On the homepage of the Product Upsells & Bundles app, select Automatic tie-in sets, and click Configure a set.
   
   
2. In the Bundle name section, enter a name for the bundle, such as Frequently Bought Together.
   
   
3. In the Recommendation methods section, select a recommendation method for your automatic tie-in bundle. The algorithm will recommend bundles to customers based on your selection.
   

   Note: If you wish to understand the difference between different recommendation methods, refer to Recommendation Method Options.

   
   
4. In the Number of bundled products section, select the maximum quantity of products to be bundled. A bundle should consist of a minimum of 2 products and a maximum of 10 products

• • 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 (free).

6. 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.

Once set, these products won't be included in any automatic tie-in bundle. If a customer is browsing an excluded product, no automatic tie-in bundle will be displayed on the product detail page because the product has been excluded.
  • You can exclude up to 50 products from the automatic tie-in bundle.
