# Difference Between Limited Bundle and Unlimited Bundle

Our app offers two types of bundles: **Limited Bundle** and **Unlimited Bundle**. Each serves different use cases depending on how much flexibility and control you need over your product bundles.

---

### 🧷 Limited Bundle

**What it is:**  
A bundle that follows Shopify’s native product and variant limitations.

#### ✅ Key Features:

* Uses Shopify’s native **3 options / 100 variants** limit.
* Each variant combination is pre-generated and managed by Shopify.
* Compatible with **Shopify inventory, discounts, checkout, and 3rd-party apps**.
* Bundled products with variants will be shown on the product page using your theme’s native layout.

#### ⚠️ Limitations:

* Can’t handle large or complex bundle configurations.
* Products **without variants** will **not appear** on the product page.
* Variant combinations must be generated in advance.

#### 🔄 Customer Experience:

* When a customer purchases the bundle, all selected items are **added directly to the order** as individual line items.

### 🔓 Unlimited Bundle

**What it is:**  
A more flexible bundle option that removes Shopify’s 3-option/100-variant limitation.

#### ✅ Key Features:

* No variant limits — you can create **highly customized or complex bundles**.
* Supports **multiple bundle templates** like Mix & Match, Step-by-Step, Grid view, etc.
* More flexibility in selection rules, visuals, and pricing.

#### ⚙️ How It Works:

* The app inserts a **custom template** into the product page.
* Customers choose products for each option directly in the template interface.

#### 📦 Inventory & Checkout:

* The app handles the bundle logic separately from Shopify’s variant system.
* You can sync inventory between the bundle and its components using built-in sync rules.

#### 🧭 Best For:

* Personalized gift sets, build-your-own-kits, or any bundle too complex for Shopify’s native system.
