  • About bundles

    Bundles are groups of existing sellable items sold together, often at a discounted price. Unlike combos, the buyer cannot pick and choose which items are included in the bundle – you define the component items in the bundle only.

    For example, you could sell a pasta dinner bundle that includes a jar of pasta sauce and a bag of pasta, or you could sell a bedding bundle that includes sheets and pillow cases. 

    Use bundles to sell a combination of existing items together as one new item. Bundles are helpful for keeping the inventory of all items sold in the group and can be adjusted for mix-and-match products if needed.

    Bundles help to boost sales, cut shipping costs, and help introduce new products. You can track inventory on individual items whether they're sold separately or in bundles.

    Before you begin

    Bundles can include up to 20 items, referred to as components.

    You can create bundles and add or remove components from a bundle from your Square Dashboard. You can edit bundles from Square Dashboard or the Square Retail POS app.

    Bundles can be sold from the Square Point of Sale app, the Square Retail POS app, or your online store.

    There are a few limitations on using bundles:

  • You are not able to use item modifiers when creating a bundle nor restrict the number of bundles available for sale, even if you have the inventory to sell more.
  • Bundles can only be sold if all components are available from the same location.
  • Combos and bundles have different use cases:

    • Use combos when you want to provide a purchasing experience with predefined options and allow selection within specific categories. Learn how to create and sell combos.

    • Use bundles when you need to sell multiple existing items as a new single product, often with a mixture of various items, like a gift basket.
