How Do Bundle Orders Show Up for Fulfillment and 3PLs?

When a customer buys a Bundly bundle, each product in the bundle is its own line item on the order, with its own SKU, and Shopify shows which bundle it belongs to. The people who pack the order, your fulfillment apps and your 3PL see the real products, and stock goes down on each product.

What your customer sees at checkout

At checkout, the bundle is one line with the bundle price. The products in the bundle show under it, with their variants and quantities.

By default, Bundly also adds a numbered property for each product the customer picked, for example #1: Fig candle - Large × 1. The properties show under the bundle in the cart and at checkout, so the customer sees exactly what they picked.

To turn the properties off, open Bundly, go to Theme, and turn off Add bundle contents as line item properties in the Cart and checkout section. Turn it off if your cart already shows the bundle contents.

What you see on the order

On the order, each product in the bundle is its own line item, with its variant, SKU and quantity. Under each product, a Part of: link shows the bundle, for example Part of: Mix & match cookies bundle (10% off). This is the same before and after fulfillment.

Inventory

Stock goes down on each product in the bundle, not on the bundle. The bundle product shows "Inventory not tracked" in your product list. See What Does "Inventory Not Tracked" Mean for Bundles?

Fulfillment apps and 3PLs

Shopify gives fulfillment apps the products in the bundle as order lines, and each line has a reference to the bundle. Your 3PL gets the SKUs of the products.
Shipping rates come from the shipping profiles of the products in the bundle. The bundle has no shipping profile of its own.

Tag orders that contain bundles

If your team or your 3PL handles bundle orders in a different way, tag them automatically with Shopify Flow. See How to Automatically Tag Orders That Contain Bundles.

Test before you go live

Place a test order with a bundle and check how your fulfillment app or 3PL shows it. See What Is Test Mode and How to Test Your Bundles.
