Why Doesn’t My Product Bundle Price Update After Changing a Dropdown Selection?

If your Product Bundle contains multiple product dropdowns with differently priced products, the displayed Bundle price should update automatically when a customer changes a selection.
If the dropdown selections work correctly but the price on the product page does not update, your Shopify Theme’s price component needs a compatibility adjustment.
uShopAid has already been adapted to work with Shopify’s official free Themes. Third-party Themes and heavily customized Themes may require additional compatibility support.
This article explains how automatic price synchronization works and what to do when your Theme does not display the dynamic Bundle price correctly.

How Does Automatic Price Synchronization Work?

In the Product Bundle price settings, select:
Sync automatically based on the prices of the bundled products
The Bundle price will then be calculated using the product currently selected from each dropdown.
For example, suppose the customer has selected:

• Product 1: $50
• Product 2: $40
• Product 3: $65

The displayed Bundle price should be:
$50 + $40 + $65 = $155

If the customer changes Product 2 to a product priced at $65, the Bundle price should automatically update to:
$50 + $65 + $65 = $180

Only the product currently selected from each dropdown is included in the calculation. Other products available in the dropdown but not currently selected are not included in the Bundle price.

How Can I Confirm That Automatic Price Synchronization Is Enabled?

Follow these steps to check the Product Bundle price settings:

1. Open the corresponding Product Bundle in uShopAid.
2. Locate the Bundle product price settings.
3. Confirm that Sync automatically based on the prices of the bundled products is selected.
4. Save your changes.
5. Open the Bundle product page on your storefront.
6. Change a dropdown selection to a product with a different price.
7. Check whether the displayed product price updates.

If the displayed price is recalculated based on the products currently selected, automatic price synchronization is working correctly.

Why Doesn’t the Price Update After Changing a Dropdown Selection?

Some Shopify Themes use a custom product price component. This component may not display the dynamic price calculated by the Product Bundle without a compatibility adjustment.
uShopAid has already been adapted to support Shopify’s official free Themes. If your store uses a third-party Theme or a heavily customized Theme, additional compatibility support may be required.
You may notice one or more of the following:

• The dropdown selection changes, but the product page price remains unchanged.
• The page continues to display the price shown before the selection was changed.
• The displayed price does not match the total price of the currently selected products.
• Automatic price synchronization is enabled, but the storefront does not display the dynamic Bundle price.
• Product selection works correctly, but the Theme’s original price section does not update.

In this situation, the Product Bundle configuration may already be correct. The current Theme’s price component needs to be adapted so that it can display the dynamic Bundle price calculated by uShopAid.

Should I Switch to a Manually Set Price?

The correct pricing method depends on how you want the Product Bundle price to work.

Use Automatic Price Synchronization

Select Sync automatically based on the prices of the bundled products when:

• Products available in the dropdowns have different prices.
• The Bundle price should change according to the customer’s selections.
• Selecting a higher-priced product should increase the Bundle price.
• Selecting a lower-priced product should reduce the Bundle price.

Use a Manually Set Price

Select Manually set, do not sync automatically only when you want the Bundle to keep the same fixed price regardless of which products the customer selects.
With this option, the Bundle price will not be recalculated based on the selected products.

What Should I Do If My Theme Requires Compatibility Support?

If Sync automatically based on the prices of the bundled products is enabled but the product page price still does not update after changing a dropdown selection, please contact the uShopAid support team.
Please provide:

• The storefront URL of the Bundle product page;
• The storefront password, if your store is password-protected.

The storefront URL should be the product page that customers visit, rather than the URL of the Bundle editor in the uShopAid app.
Our support team needs to access the Bundle product page to inspect the current Theme’s price component and complete the required compatibility adjustment.
After the Theme has been adapted, the displayed Bundle price should update dynamically whenever a customer changes a product in one of the dropdowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Automatic Price Synchronization Include Every Product Available in Each Dropdown?

No.
The Bundle price includes only the product currently selected from each dropdown. Other available but unselected products are not included in the calculation.

Why Does the Price Stay the Same After I Select a Different Product?

If the dropdown selection changes correctly but the product page price remains unchanged, the current Theme’s price component requires a compatibility adjustment to display the dynamic Bundle price.

Does an Incorrect Price Mean That My Product Bundle Is Configured Incorrectly?

Not necessarily.
If automatic price synchronization is enabled and the dropdown selections work correctly, the Product Bundle configuration may already be correct. The issue may be that the Theme’s price component has not yet been adapted to display the dynamic price.

Do Shopify’s Official Free Themes Require Additional Adaptation?

uShopAid has already been adapted to work with Shopify’s official free Themes.
Third-party Themes and heavily customized Themes may use different price components and may therefore require additional compatibility support.

Should I Use a Fixed Price to Solve the Display Problem?

Not if the products available in the dropdowns have different prices and you want the Bundle price to change with the customer’s selections.
A manually set price remains fixed. Contact uShopAid support so that the Theme’s price component can be adapted instead.

What Information Should I Provide to uShopAid Support?

Please provide:

• The storefront URL of the Bundle product page;
• The storefront password, if the storefront is password-protected.

This information allows our support team to access the product page and complete the Theme compatibility adjustment.
