Understanding Mix & Match Bundle Pricing, Discounts, and Rewards

uShopAid’s Mix & Match Bundle supports multiple pricing, discount, and reward strategies.
You can create offers such as:

  • Tiered discounts that reward customers for adding more products
  • Percentage discounts triggered by quantity or Bundle subtotal
  • Specific Bundle prices after customers meet a condition
  • Free gifts after customers meet a condition
  • Free shipping after customers meet a condition
  • A fixed-price Box containing a set number of products
  • Multiple Boxes with different sizes and prices
  • A gift list that lets customers choose their preferred free gifts

These settings do not all belong to the same level.
Before configuring an offer, first determine whether you are using Buy more save more or Single-box / Multi-box, and then configure the corresponding pricing, discounts, and rewards.

1. Choose your Bundle pricing structure

Mix & Match Bundle uses two different pricing and discount systems:

Bundle type

Setup method

Best for

Buy more save more

Discount rules

Creating one or more offers based on product quantity or Bundle subtotal

Single-box / Multi-box

Box size & price

Offering one or more Boxes with fixed sizes and prices

Buy more save more

Buy more save more uses Discount rules.
Each Discount rule can contain:

  • A Discount type
  • A Discount based on setting
  • A qualifying threshold
  • Required products, optional
  • Other combinable benefits, optional

You can create multiple Discount rules and arrange them from the lowest qualifying threshold to the highest.
For example:

  • Add 2 products → 10% off
  • Add 4 products → 15% off + a free gift
  • Add 6 products → 20% off + a free gift + free shipping

Single-box / Multi-box

Single-box and Multi-box use the same Box size & price settings.
The only difference is the number of Boxes offered:

  • Single-box provides one Box.
  • Multi-box provides multiple Boxes for customers to choose from.

For example:
Single-box:

  • Choose any 4 products
  • Fixed price: $199

Multi-box:

  • 3 products for $59
  • 4 products for $119
  • 6 products for $139

Each Box can have its own:

  • Size
  • Price
  • Compare-at price
  • Fixed free gifts
  • Gift quantities

2. How Buy more save more Discount rules work

A complete Discount rule usually contains:

  1. A Discount type
  2. A Discount based on setting
  3. A qualifying threshold
  4. Required products, optional
  5. Other combinable benefits, optional

[Insert screenshot: Complete Discount rules panel]


Choose what the rule is based on

Use Discount based on to determine what triggers the rule.
Available options include:

  • Quantity — Based on the number of products added to the Bundle
  • Bundle subtotal — Based on the subtotal of the products in the Bundle

For example:

  • The quantity added to the Bundle is greater than or equal to 3
  • The Bundle subtotal is greater than or equal to $100

When customers meet the requirement, the offer configured in that Discount rule becomes available.

3. Discount types supported by Buy more save more

Use Discount type to choose the main offer provided by the rule.
Supported Discount types include:

  • Percentage off
  • Amount off
  • Specific price
  • Cheapest item discount
  • Most expensive item discount
  • Free gift
  • Free shipping

Percentage off

Apply a percentage discount to the products in the Bundle.
For example:

  • Add 2 products → 10% off
  • Add 4 products → 15% off
  • Add 6 products → 20% off

Best for:

  • Buy more save more campaigns
  • Encouraging customers to add more products
  • Creating clear tiered offers

Amount off

Subtract a fixed amount from the Bundle price.
For example:

  • Add 3 products → $10 off
  • Add 5 products → $25 off
  • Add 8 products → $50 off

Best for:

  • Higher-priced products
  • Promotions that emphasize a clear savings amount
  • Higher-value Bundles

Specific price

Set the Bundle to a specific price after customers meet the requirement.
For example:

  • Add 3 products → Bundle price is $99
  • Add 5 products → Bundle price is $149

You can create multiple Discount rules to assign different specific prices to different quantity or subtotal thresholds.
For example:

  • Add 3 products → $99
  • Add 6 products → $179
  • Add 10 products → $249
Specific price in Buy more save more is still a Discount type inside a Discount rule. It is not the same setup as the fixed Box price used by Single-box.

Cheapest item discount

Apply a discount to the lowest-priced product in the current Bundle.
For example:

  • Make the cheapest product free
  • Apply 50% off to the cheapest product

Best for:

  • Buy X Get One Free offers
  • Encouraging customers to add another product
  • Applying a promotion to the lowest-priced product

Most expensive item discount

Apply a discount to the highest-priced product in the current Bundle.
For example:

  • Apply 20% off to the most expensive product
  • Make the most expensive product free

Best for:

  • Promoting higher-value products
  • Higher-value promotions
  • Applying an offer to the highest-priced product

Free gift

Free gift is an independent Discount type.
After selecting Free gift, you can configure:

  • Whether the rule is based on Quantity or Bundle subtotal
  • The qualifying threshold
  • The gift products
  • The quantity of each gift

For example:

  • Add 3 products → Receive product A for free
  • Add 5 products → Receive products A and B for free
  • Spend $150 → Receive a free gift

This rule does not need to include a percentage or amount discount. The free gift itself can be the main offer.
[Insert screenshot: Discount type set to Free gift]


Free shipping

Free shipping is also an independent Discount type.
After selecting Free shipping, you can configure the required product quantity or Bundle subtotal.
For example:

  • Add 3 products → Receive free shipping
  • Add 5 products → Receive free shipping
  • Spend $100 → Receive free shipping

This rule does not need to include another price discount. Free shipping itself can be the main offer.
[Insert screenshot: Discount type set to Free shipping]


4. Required products

Required products is an additional condition for a Discount rule.
It is not a Discount type or a reward.
When Required products is enabled, customers must meet the quantity or Bundle subtotal requirement and add the specified products before the rule can apply.
For example:

  • Add 3 products and include product A → Receive 15% off
  • Add 5 products and include products A and B → Receive $30 off
  • Add 4 products and include a specified product → Receive a free gift
  • Add 6 products and include a specified product → Receive free shipping

Best for:

  • Promoting specific product combinations
  • Creating complementary product offers
  • Requiring certain products to be included in a promotion
  • Offering different rewards for different product combinations

5. Combine multiple benefits

Free gift and Free shipping can be used as independent Discount types, and they can also be combined with other offers.
The available combination options depend on the selected Discount type.
Examples include:

  • Percentage off + Free gift
  • Percentage off + Free shipping
  • Percentage off + Free gift + Free shipping
  • Amount off + Free gift
  • Specific price + Free gift
  • Free gift + Free shipping
  • Free shipping + Free gift

For example, a combined rule could be:

Add 4 products and include a specified product to receive 20% off, a free gift, and free shipping.

Free gift and Free shipping therefore have two possible roles in Buy more save more:

Feature

Can be an independent Discount type

Can be combined with another offer

Free gift

Yes

Yes

Free shipping

Yes


The combinations available for a specific rule depend on the options displayed in the current Discount rule.

6. Create multiple Buy more save more tiers

Buy more save more can contain multiple Discount rules.
Arrange the rules from the lowest qualifying threshold to the highest.
For example:

Discount rule

Requirement

Discount type

Other benefits

Rule 1

Add 2 products

Percentage off: 10%

None

Rule 2

Add 4 products

Percentage off: 15%

Free gift

Rule 3

Add 6 products

Percentage off: 20%

Free gift + Free shipping

You can also create rules that provide rewards without reducing product prices:

Discount rule

Requirement

Discount type

Other benefits

----

---

---

---

Rule 1

Add 3 products

Free gift

None

Rule 2

Add 5 products

Free shipping

Free gift

This setup encourages customers to add more products to unlock higher discount or reward tiers.

7. How Single-box and Multi-box work

Single-box and Multi-box do not use Buy more save more Discount rules.
They are configured under:
Discounts → Box size & price

Single-box

Single-box provides one fixed Box.
For example:

  • Choose any 4 products
  • Fixed price: $199
  • Compare-at price: $299
  • Free gift: Sample Nail Lamp × 1

Customers must complete the required product selection for the Box before completing the Bundle.
Best for:

  • Choose-any-X offers
  • Fixed-price Bundles
  • Gift sets
  • Product packs

Multi-box

Multi-box provides multiple Boxes for customers to choose from.
For example:

  • Basic: 3 products for $59
  • Standard: 4 products for $119
  • Premium: 6 products for $139

Customers first choose a Box and then select the required number of products for the selected Box.
Each Box can have its own:

  • Size
  • Price
  • Compare-at price
  • Fixed free gifts
  • Gift quantities

Best for:

  • Offering multiple Bundle sizes
  • Serving customers with different budgets or quantity needs
  • Family packs or larger product sets
  • Multiple fixed-price options
Single-box and Multi-box use exactly the same settings. Single-box provides one Box, while Multi-box provides multiple Boxes for customers to choose from.

8. Understanding free gifts

Mix & Match Bundle supports two different free gift experiences:

  1. Fixed free gifts
  2. Customer-selected free gifts

Fixed free gifts

A fixed free gift is predefined by the merchant.
When customers qualify, they receive the specified gift and cannot replace it with another product.
The setup location depends on the Bundle type:

Bundle type

Fixed free gift setup

Buy more save more

Discount rules → Discount type: Free gift, or enable Free gift inside another Discount type

Single-box / Multi-box

Box size & price → Offer free gift with this box

Fixed free gifts in Buy more save more

A fixed free gift can be:

  • The independent Free gift Discount type
  • Combined with Percentage off, Amount off, Specific price, or another available offer

Customers receive the fixed gift after meeting the quantity or Bundle subtotal requirement.

Fixed free gifts in Single-box / Multi-box

The gift is assigned directly to a Box.
Customers receive the gift configured for that Box after completing the required selection for the selected Box.
Different Boxes in a Multi-box Bundle can include different gifts.

Choose how fixed free gifts are added

Use Free gift behavior to decide how the gift is added after customers qualify.

Show Popup

Select:
Show Popup – Let customers know they've received a free gift
When customers qualify for the gift, a popup appears to let them know that they have received a free gift.
After they confirm the popup, the gift is added to the Bundle Summary.

Add Automatically

Select:
Add Automatically – Add the gift silently without a popup
When customers qualify for the gift, no popup appears. The gift is added directly to the Bundle Summary.

Show Popup

Yes

Add Automatically

No

Added directly to the Bundle Summary

Free gift behavior only controls how a fixed gift is added after customers qualify. It does not change the gift product, gift quantity, or qualifying requirement.

Display fixed gifts directly in two special templates

Single-box and Multi-box each include one special Product page embed template that can display the fixed gifts included with the current Box directly on the Bundle page through the Included products component.

Bundle type

Template

Fixed gift display

Single-box

Fixed Design Set

Multi-box

Selectable Design Set

Other templates use Free gift behavior to show a popup or add the gift automatically.

In both cases, the gift will appear in the Bundle Summary.

Customer-selected free gifts

If you do not want to assign one specific fixed gift in advance, use Choose free gift / Free gift list to let customers select from multiple available gifts.

You can configure:

  • The products available as gifts
  • How many gifts customers can select
  • The requirements customers must meet before choosing gifts

For example:

  • Choose 1 gift from 5 available gifts
