The project involved developing a custom solution for an extensive catalog of 20,000+ products, of which over 4,000 products were complex bundle configurations. These bundles featured a main primary item, such as a guitar, complemented by up to 10 additional components (headphones, cables, speakers, etc.) with the option to upgrade individual components.
To allow maximum flexibility for customers to customize their bundles, we built a custom solution using Shopify’s new Cart Transform API. Not only does this allow the merchant team to easily manage and update bundles in bulk, such as switching out a sold-out component for an alternative across hundreds of unique bundles, with dynamic pricing updates; but in addition, this approach provides a holistic presentation of bundles to customers giving them the ability swap out individual items, and see the real-time prices and savings associated. The built-in logic splits the bundle product out into it’s relevant component items in checkout, aiding both warehouse fulfillment and financial tracking.
