How bundle discounts work


For Tiered Discount Bundles, discounts are triggered when customers meet specific bundle conditions.


You can trigger discounts based on:


  • Product quantity
  • Bundle subtotal amount


Examples:


  • Buy 3 products
  • Spend $100


Once the condition is met, the selected reward is automatically applied.



Percentage off


Apply a percentage discount to the bundle.


Examples:


  • 10% off
  • 20% off
  • 30% off


Best for:


  • Buy more, save more campaigns
  • Increasing average order value
  • Simple promotional offers




Amount off


Apply a fixed monetary discount.


Examples:


  • $10 off
  • $25 off
  • $50 off


Best for:


  • Higher-priced products
  • Premium bundles
  • Promotions with clear savings messaging




Specific price


Replace the bundle subtotal with a fixed bundle price.


Examples:


  • Any 3 items for $99
  • Any 5 items for $149


You can also create pricing ranges:


  • 3–5 items → $99
  • 6–10 items → $149


Best for:


  • Build-your-own bundles
  • Gift boxes
  • Curated product bundles
  • Subscription-style offers





Cheapest item discount


Apply a discount to the lowest-priced item in the bundle.


Examples:


  • Cheapest item free
  • Cheapest item 50% off


Best for:


  • Buy X, get one free promotions
  • Encouraging customers to add more products
  • Volume-based campaigns




Most expensive item discount


Apply a discount to the highest-priced item in the bundle.


Examples:


  • Most expensive item 20% off
  • Most expensive item free


Best for:


  • Premium product promotions
  • High-ticket bundles
  • Upselling expensive products




Free gifts


uShopAid supports two different free gift experiences.



Fixed free gifts


Fixed free gifts are automatically added once bundle conditions are met.


Examples:


  • Buy 3 items → Free sample
  • Spend $150 → Free tote bag


The gift is predefined by the merchant and customers cannot change the gift selection.


Best for:


  • Simple promotional campaigns
  • Gift-with-purchase offers
  • Product launches
  • Automatic rewards




Selectable free gifts


Want to give customers more flexibility?


Use the Free gift list component to offer multiple gift options that customers can choose from after meeting bundle requirements.


For example:


  • Add at least 3 products → Choose 1 free gift
  • Spend $150 → Choose 2 free gifts


Customers can choose:


  • One free gift
  • Multiple free gifts
  • Gifts from a predefined list

Free shipping


Unlock free shipping once customers meet the required condition.


Examples:


  • Free shipping after 3 items
  • Free shipping after spending $100



Required products


For Tiered Discount Bundles, you can also require specific products to be added before a discount becomes available.


This allows you to create targeted product combinations instead of applying discounts to any product selection.


Examples:


  • Gaming chair + desk → $60 off
  • Office chair + desk → $40 off


The discount is only applied when the required products are included in the bundle.



Why use required products?


Required products are useful when you want to:


  • Promote specific product combinations
  • Increase sales of related products
  • Create curated bundle offers
  • Offer different rewards for different product sets



Combining rewards


Some discount types can be combined with:


  • Fixed free gifts
  • Free shipping


Examples:


  • Buy 3 items → 20% off + free gift
  • Spend $150 → $25 off + free shipping


This allows you to create more compelling promotional campaigns while keeping the customer experience simple.




Fixed Price Bundles


Fixed Price Bundles use a different pricing model.


Instead of percentage or amount discounts, customers receive:


  • A fixed bundle size
  • A fixed bundle price


Example:


  • Choose any 3 items for $99


Best for:


  • Simple pricing strategies
  • Curated product bundles
  • Predictable shopping experiences



Multi-box Bundles


Multi-box Bundles support multiple bundle sizes and pricing options inside the same bundle.


Examples:


  • 3 items for $99
  • 6 items for $179
  • 10 items for $249


Each box can also include its own fixed free gift.


Best for:


  • Large bundle campaigns
  • Wholesale-style offers
  • Family packs
  • Tiered quantity promotions
