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
Fixed free gifts vs selectable free gifts
Type | Customer can choose? | Best for |
|---|---|---|
Fixed free gift | No | Simple automatic promotions |
Free gift list | Yes | Interactive reward experiences |
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

Different discount types work better for different business goals.
