Bought Together: sell the set in one tap
Show the products that go with each product on its page, let shoppers add them all with one button, and take a percentage off at checkout with no code.
Frequently Bought Together adds a block to the product page with the product and up to four companions you pick. Shoppers tick the ones they want, see the total and what they save, and add the whole set to the cart with one button. The discount is applied by Shopify at checkout, so the price shown is the price charged.
Set it up
- Open Mini apps, then Frequently Bought Together, and select Create set. Give it a name only you see and select Create and pick products.
- In Products, choose where the set shows: specific products, collections or all products. Then select Choose companions and pick up to four.
- In Discount, keep 10% off the companions or change the percentage, what it comes off and how many companions a set needs.
- In Add to your store, select Add to product page: the theme editor opens with the Bought Together block added. Drag it under the add to cart button, save, come back and select Check my theme.
- Select Publish.
What you can change
- Products: the main products or collections, products to leave out, and a start and end date.
- Companions: one row for every main product, or extra rows that give some products their own companions. A product shows the first row that names it; select Move up or Move down to change the order.
- Discount: a percentage from 1 to 60, off the companions or every item, the companions a set needs, whether sale items are skipped, and the name shoppers see at checkout.
- Look: the title, a row of images or a list, your theme's colors, the corners, the plus signs and the savings line.
- Behavior: whether companions start ticked, option pickers, the button text (insert Item count where the number goes) and what happens after adding.
Publish, pause and roll back
Shoppers see the last published version, never your draft. The bar at the top of the editor shows whether the set is not published, live or paused, and flags Changes not published when your draft differs from what shoppers see.
- Select Publish. After the first publish the button reads Publish changes.
- In the review dialog, check Required before publishing. Each item that is not done has a Fix link that closes the dialog and opens the tab where you fix it.
- Confirm with Publish or Publish changes. Shoppers see it on your store within a few minutes, and the bar shows Delivering to your store until it arrives.
- Pause takes it off your store and keeps your settings and published versions. Resume brings back the version you last published; it does not publish your draft.
- Versions lists the last few published versions. Roll back on a version puts it back in front of shoppers. Your draft is not changed, so publishing again brings your latest edits back.
- Only admins can publish, pause, resume or roll back.
Limits
- Up to 5 live sets per store, 4 companions per row and 50 rows per set.
- Up to 50 main products or 20 collections per set, and 100 products left out.
- The block shows on product pages.
Billing
A mini app is billed through your Shopify subscription for the app. Shopify allows one active subscription per app, so your store has a single charge made of your App suite plan and every mini app you subscribe to. Only the store owner adds or removes a mini app, from its page in the app, and Shopify asks you to approve the new total. The price is shown on the mini app's page. Development stores use mini apps at no cost. See Mini apps: billing and ended subscriptions.
Troubleshooting
- The block does not show: check it is on the product template and the set is published, and that the product is one of the set's main products.
- A companion is missing: it is sold out, a draft, or its handle changed. Pick it again in Products.
- No discount at checkout: the cart needs the main product and as many companions as the discount asks for. With Skip sale items on, items with a compare-at price get none.
Common questions
Does it call your servers from my store?
No. The theme prints the block with your store's own prices, and the discount runs in Shopify's checkout.
Do shoppers need a code?
No. Shopify applies the discount at checkout when the set is in the cart.
