Free forever for stores that install now. Every feature, no revenue cap. If paid plans come later, they are only for new stores. Yours stays free.
How to set up a build your own box page
- In Happy Bundle, open New offer and choose Build a box.
- Choose the products or collections that can go in the box, and the tiers: for example one tier of 3 at a set price of $30.00, or 2 at 5% off, 3 at 10% off and 4 at 12% off.
- Press Create the page in Shopify, give the page a title like Build your box and save it. Enter the page address in Happy Bundle (Shopify makes it from the title, for example build-your-box).
- Pick the Page layout: a grid with the box in a bar at the bottom, a grid with the box in a column on the right, or a compact list.
- Publish, then use Add it to your menu to link the page in your store menu.
What shoppers see on the box page
- A grid of your products with an add button on each, and a size or color choice right on the card.
- The box with one slot per pick and the progress, for example 3 of 4 selected.
- The add to cart button says what is missing (Add 1 more) until the box is complete, then adds the whole box with its total.
- A search field when the box has many products, and up to 250 products per box.
- If you turn on Show by category: your collections as picture cards, and every pick from any category goes into the same box.
The page uses your theme's font and text colors, and needs no theme code. The box shows after the page's own text, so you can write an intro in Shopify's page editor.
How the box price and discount work
The box is priced by its tiers, like any mix and match offer in Happy Bundle:
- A set price: any 3 for $30.00.
- A percentage off: 10% off a box of 3.
- An amount off: $5.00 off a box of 3.
- A free gift with the box: the gift shows in the box from the start and joins the cart as a free line once the box is complete.
In the cart, each product is its own line with the offer's label, so your stock updates per product. Shopify applies the box discount at checkout. If the shopper later lowers the cart below the box size, the deal and the gift no longer apply.

What merchants say
Reviews left on the Happy Bundle listing in the Shopify App Store.
I was looking for an app that allowed me to build custom bundles for my site, this app allowed me to do that and more. I was able to be creative with my bundle names (fits my brand/messaging/tone) and i was able to offer many different colour and size options, which are limited with just Shopify! Also, customer service was excellent too …
User friendly, super useful, and developers are kind and responsive.
Highly recommended
