Description
BundleBoss is one plugin instead of three: deal packs, configurable kits and build-your-own boxes all live here, so you are not stitching separate bundle, mix-and-match and composite plugins together. And it starts simple: a first bundle takes about two minutes, timed from a fresh install to published on a stock store.
Here is what sets it apart: most bundle plugins lock every slot. BundleBoss is built around customer choice from the first click. The free plugin groups products into a “buy these together and save” pack and lets customers pick the size and colour of every unit, buying the lot as one cart line. If you can describe the bundle, you can probably build it here. That is why shops run it for deal packs, configurable products, build-your-own kits, gift sets, and team kit and workwear.
See BundleBoss build a bundle in two minutes:
Try it live: demo.getbundleboss.com is a full demo store running Pro, with build-a-box discounts, a PC configurator and more. Click around and build things, nothing breaks, it resets nightly.

What is free and what is Pro
The free plugin is the complete fixed-bundle product, not a demo and not a trial. You choose what goes in the bundle; your customer configures every unit of it and buys the lot as one cart line.
Free includes:
- Per-unit configuration: the customer sets the size, colour and options of every unit, restricted to the variations you allow
- Three pricing modes (percentage off, set amount off, fixed price), plus quantity tier discounts
- Bundle rules: quantity ranges per item, optional items customers can skip
- A guided creation wizard: pick what you are making, add products, preview, and create, no manual field wrangling
- A guided product page: per-item cards, colour swatches, the “All the same” shortcut, three unit layouts
- Promotions: sale countdown timer, related-bundles carousel, the progress-to-discount cart nudge
- Oversell-proof stock and fulfilment-ready orders with a component pick list
- Store plumbing: shipping weight modes, Cart and Checkout blocks, WPML and Polylang, JSON export and import
- Item links, if you want them: an optional small arrow beside each item name opens the product’s own page in a new tab, so customers can check details without losing their bundle
Pro adds the Builder and the selling tools:
- Choice slots: customers pick each component from pools you define, with compatibility and quantity rules and conditional items, all enforced on the server
- Two more layouts: the full-page Configurator and a step-by-step walkthrough
- Build-a-box (mix and match): fill a box from a pool, with a target size and per-product limits
- Self-updating category pools: point a choice slot or box at a product category instead of a fixed list, and it stays current, a product added to that category later shows up in the slot automatically
- Size-run quantity grid: a colours-by-sizes matrix for bulk orders
- Per-item personalisation with fees, plus logo and file upload with GDPR export and erase
- Order growers: frequently bought together (on the page and in the cart), buy X get Y, gift mode
- Shareable build links (any shop can open one; creating them is Pro), hero slots, deal badges, and the Composite Products importer
Ready to grow every order? BundleBoss Pro has a 14-day trial, no card needed. Upgrading keeps every bundle you built in the free plugin.
When you find something BundleBoss does not do yet, tell us. We are small, we ship often, and we build what shop owners actually ask for (see “Tell us what you need” below).
The free plugin, in detail
- Per-unit configuration: every unit of a bundle item can be configured independently
- Guided configurator: collapsible cards with sticky headers, one-line summaries and full keyboard support
- “All the same” toggle: configure once and every unit follows; switch it off afterwards and the picks stay, ready for individual tweaks
- Three unit layouts: arrange a multi-quantity item’s units as stacked cards, compact cards, or a comparison table, chosen per bundle
- Progress-to-discount nudge: the cart shows “Add 1 more to unlock 15% off” with a progress bar and a one-click button to add another identical bundle
- Colour swatches: give attribute terms a colour and chips become swatch circles
- Three pricing modes: a percentage discount, a set amount off, or one fixed bundle price
- Quantity tier discounts: “buy 3+, save 20%”
- Sale countdown timer: live countdown bar with start/end scheduling
- Related bundles carousel: cross-sell between bundle pages
- Oversell-proof stock: component stock validated while configuring, at add-to-cart and at checkout, reduced on sale and restored on refund
- Fulfilment-ready orders: pick list with component SKUs and quantities on every order
- Shipping weight modes: automatic (sum of chosen components) or manual
- Export / import: move every bundle between sites as one JSON file
- Multilingual: WPML and Polylang supported out of the box
BundleBoss Pro, in detail
BundleBoss Pro adds the full Builder, advanced layouts, and the selling tools to grow every order:
- Choice slots: customers pick each component from pools you define (PC-builder style), with live pricing on every option
- Compatibility and quantity rules: stop impossible combinations, enforced on the server, not just in the browser
- Per-item personalisation: optional add-on fields (names, options, notes), each able to carry a fee, captured per unit and shown on the order and the warehouse pick list. Built for team kit, workwear and promo
- Logo and file upload: customers attach a logo or artwork to an item; secure upload, a download link on the order, GDPR export and erase included
- Hero slots: the customer’s chosen product takes over the page’s main product image
- Deal badges: products on sale and featured products surface in the chooser
- Step-by-step layout: walk customers through one item at a time, with progress and free navigation
- Shareable build links: customers copy a finished build to a link anyone can open and buy (free shops can open a shared link; creating one is Pro)
- Migrate from Composite Products: one click converts existing composites to draft bundles
- Configurator layout: a full-page, two-pane builder with a docked “Your build” summary and a price on every option, for big or many-part products like a gaming PC
- Build-a-box (mix and match): customers fill a box by choosing any number from a pool, with a target size, per-product limits, and a live count and total (any 6 chocolates, any 4 candles)
- Self-updating category pools: build a choice slot or box pool from a product category, by hand, or both. A category pool maintains itself, add a product to the category and it appears in the slot with no edit to the bundle, ideal for a rotating range or a large catalogue
- Gift mode: a recipient, a gift message, optional gift wrap with a fee, and a no-prices gift receipt, all carried through to the order
- Frequently bought together: surface companion products with a combined price and a set discount, the add-the-whole-set upsell
- Buy X get Y: buy-two-get-one-free style offers scoped to the bundle’s own items (the cheapest goes free), shown clearly as was, pay, and you save
- Conditional items: show or hide a bundle item based on what the customer has already chosen, enforced on the server (pick the tagged top and the matching-joggers slot appears)
The free plugin is complete on its own; Pro adds everything described here. Everything under “The free plugin, in detail” stays free.
Tell us what you need
BundleBoss is built and updated by the people who answer its support, and the roadmap is written by real shop owners. If you need a bundle it does not handle yet, or an option you wish existed, ask for it on the support forum. Every request gets read and answered, and “can it do X?” is exactly how new features get chosen. You name it, and there is a real chance we build it.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.4+
- WooCommerce 8.0+
- PHP 8.0+
Privacy
BundleBoss does not collect, store or transmit any personal data of its own.
- Customers’ bundle selections (which products, quantities and options they picked) are stored only as part of their cart and order: standard WooCommerce order data under your control, removed whenever you erase the order.
- Shareable build links encode product choices in the URL itself; nothing is stored server-side and the links contain no personal information.
- The plugin sets no advertising or tracking cookies.
Third-party services
The free version of BundleBoss does not connect to any external service or send any data off your site.
BundleBoss Pro is a separate, paid plugin that uses Freemius for checkout, licensing and updates. None of that is included in this free version.
Screenshots
Installation
- In your WordPress admin go to Plugins > Add New, search for BundleBoss, then install and activate it. WooCommerce needs to be installed and active.
- Go to Products > Create a bundle. The guided wizard takes you from picking products to a finished bundle page in a few minutes, with a live preview of what your customers will see.
- Prefer the full editor? Create a product and choose the Bundle product type: the products go on the Bundle Items tab, the deal (a percentage off, an amount off, or one fixed price) on Bundle Pricing, and extras like gift options or Buy X Get Y on Bundle Promotions.
- Publish and open the product page. The bundle is ready to sell, with live totals, per item options and stock checks built in.
Want to try it before installing? Use the Live Preview button on this page, or browse the demo shop at https://demo.getbundleboss.com.
FAQ
-
Does it work with variable products?
-
Yes, that’s the core use case. Customers pick a variation for every unit, restricted to the options you allow per bundle item.
-
Can a bundle include virtual or downloadable products?
-
Yes. Virtual items (services, licence keys you fulfil yourself) just work. Downloadable items deliver their files like any normal purchase: permissions are granted when the order is paid, the customer gets the links in the order email and under My Account Downloads, and a refund cuts access automatically.
-
Does selling a bundle reduce the stock of the products inside it?
-
Yes. Component (and variation) stock is reduced when the bundle sells and restored if the order is cancelled or refunded. Stock is also validated during configuration, at add-to-cart, and again at checkout.
-
Can I set one fixed price for the bundle?
-
Yes. Each bundle can use either a percentage discount off the sum of the chosen items, or a fixed price that never changes regardless of the customer’s choices.
-
Can I make the configurator match my store’s branding?
-
Yes. The configurator inherits your theme’s fonts automatically, and every colour it uses is exposed as a CSS variable. Set a handful of values in Appearance Customize Additional CSS and the whole interface follows your brand:
:root { --bb-accent: #c2410c; /* step highlights */ --bb-ink: #1e2a4a; /* headlines and the total bar */ --bb-surface: #fffdf8; /* cards */ --bb-border: #e8e0d0; }The full token list is documented at the top of the plugin’s bundle.css.
-
Can I show my own information next to the configurator (total weight, nutrition, performance)?
-
Yes. The configurator fires a JavaScript event,
bundle_boss:build_changed, after every change the customer makes. The event detail carries the whole build: which products and variations are picked, quantities, and the running totals. Listen for it, derive whatever your store cares about, and render the result into the container printed by thebundle_boss_after_summaryaction:document.addEventListener( 'bundle_boss:build_changed', function ( e ) { if ( ! e.detail.complete ) { return; } // e.detail.items gives [ { productId, qty, units: [ { variationId, attributes } ] } ] myPanel.textContent = 'Total weight: ' + myWeightFor( e.detail.items ) + ' kg'; } );A PC store renders performance estimates, a hamper store calories, a ski shop carry weight. The event works on every bundle, free and Pro alike.
-
Does it work with the block (Gutenberg) cart and checkout?
-
Yes, both. The classic shortcode pages and the block-based Cart & Checkout are fully supported: bundle pricing, the selections summary, stock protection and order details all work identically, and the progress-to-discount nudge appears in the block cart too. Block themes (Full Site Editing) are also tested.
-
Is my data removed when I uninstall?
-
By default, no: bundle products and their configuration are deliberately kept, so reinstalling restores everything. If you want uninstalling to remove all bundles and settings, switch on “Delete all BundleBoss data when the plugin is uninstalled” under WooCommerce BundleBoss (download an export first, on the same page).
-
Can I back up my bundles or move them to another site?
-
Yes. WooCommerce BundleBoss exports every bundle (items, choice pools, rules, pricing and promotions) as one JSON file. Importing matches products by SKU, then slug, so the file survives the move to a site where product IDs differ; anything that can’t be matched is reported, never guessed.
-
Does it work on multilingual sites (WPML / Polylang)?
-
Yes. Bundle settings copy to translations, slot labels are translatable per language, and product/term references are mapped to the language being browsed.

Changelog
4.14.1 – 2026-07-16
- Fixed: the order tray on a product page could print a bundle price twice, the excluding-tax and including-tax figures run together (for example £115.00£138.00), on a shop running a price plugin such as a VAT toggle. The tray now shows one price, in the tax basis your shop displays.
- Fixed: the “Build a new bundle” button in the order tray could stay invisible until you hovered it on some themes (Divi), because the theme forced its label white over a see-through button. It is a filled button now, so the label reads whatever colour the theme applies.
4.14.0 – 2026-07-15
- Fixed: bundle prices now follow your “Display prices in the shop” setting. On a shop that enters prices including VAT and displays them excluding it, a bundle printed the raw figure instead, so the headline price, the running total, the struck-through “was” and the “You save” line could each be in a different money. The saving was the worst of it: it took an ex-VAT subtotal off an inc-VAT full price, so a real saving of £6.40 showed as £30.68. Every figure on the page, in the order summary, in the basket and on the cart page now reads in the basis you chose. What you charge has not changed.
- Fixed (Pro): a personalisation fee was charged twice on a bundle priced with a set amount off, so the basket came out higher than the page said.
- Fixed (Pro): a sized box came to £0.00 on a bundle priced with a set amount off, giving the box away.
- Fixed (Pro): a Buy X Get Y offer on a bundle carrying a fee took too much off, because the fee inflated the reduction.
- Fixed (Pro): a Frequently Bought Together discount kept applying after the product it was attached to had been removed from the basket, so the companion stayed discounted on its own.
- Fixed (Pro): a whole-order fee such as a logo setup or a rush charge was applied to every bundle in the line instead of once for the order, so buying two of the same bundle paid the setup twice.
- Fixed (Pro): re-ordering a past order kept its gift wrap and whole-order options instead of dropping them, which had made the repeat order cheaper than the original.
- Fixed: a bundle that manages its own stock and has sold out now says “Out of stock”. It used to show a working builder and a live Add to Cart, and only refuse at the last click, after the customer had configured the whole thing.
- Fixed: refunding a bundle now puts its components back on the shelf when “restock refunded items” is ticked. Component stock stayed down after every refund, so your inventory drifted lower over time and the shop eventually refused to sell things you had.
- Fixed: on currencies with no minor unit (yen, forint, krona), the product page total and the basket now agree, and prices no longer print a decimal part the currency does not have.
- Fixed: a draft bundle can no longer be bought.
- Fixed (Pro): a personalisation set to “once for the set” now says which item it applies to, so a customer can tell what they are naming.
- Fixed: on Divi, the Add to Cart button stays inside the order summary panel instead of sitting pushed to one edge, and the options panel no longer looks half empty when a slot has only two or three choices.
- Important: bundles now honour catalog mode. If you run a plugin that turns purchasing off, such as a request-a-quote, wholesale-only or login-to-see-prices plugin, your bundles now obey it like every other product on the shop. They did not before, so a bundle could still be bought on a shop where buying was meant to be switched off.
