No matter the names on these offers, they all indicate the same promotional strategy.

Benefits of Bundle Discount in WooCommerce

Method 1: Create a Product Bundle Offer in WooCoomerce Built-in Settings

Now, you know why you should implement the product bundle discount in your store. In this stage, you should know how to add such offers in WooCommerce.

I will demonstrate how to create product bundle discounts in your WooCommerce store without any plugins. 

WooCommerce allows you to create a grouped product using its built-in settings. And by providing a discount on that grouped product I will use this promotional strategy. 

So let’s dive in 👇

Step 1: Create a New product

First, you need to create a grouped product in WooCommerce. To do that, go to the Product tab from the WordPress dashboard. 

Then click Add New Product. It will take you to the product edit page, where you can configure all the details for this bundle.

I named this bundle ‘Menswear,’ but you can choose any name.

You also should add a product description and a short description for your bundle.

Step 2: Select Grouped Products

Now, scroll down to the product data tab and select the grouped product option from the dropdown.

Then click the linked product from the tab. Here, you can choose the products you want to offer in the bundle. I chose four items for my bundle.

You also should insert a product image and some gallery images and set the category and tags. It will enhance the user experience for your buyers.

Step 3: Create a Coupon for Grouped Products

After that, you need to create a coupon for the grouped product. Go to the Marketing tab and click Coupon. Then click the Add New Coupon button.

Here you have to generate a code and add a name for this coupon.

Next, select the Discount Type and Amount from the Coupon Data tab. Select the grouped products in the Usage Restriction setting.

You can further edit and set additional settings if you want.

Finally, you should test it in your store if it works. I got a 20% percent discount after adding the bundle discount coupon code.

This way you can add a product bundle discount in WooCommerce built-in settings. If you want more efficiency and control, you will need an additional plugin.

Method 2: Create a Product Bundle Discount with a Plugin

There are several plugins offer us to run such promotional activity for our store. I will show you how to use a plugin to efficiently implement bundle discounts.

To demonstrate, I will use WowRevenue. This plugin is an all-in-one discount solution that contains multiple campaigns for regular WooCommerce users.

Before jumping into the steps you need to install and activate the plugin in your website. Follow the official documentation on the installation process.

Once activated, follow these steps.

Step 1: Create a Bundle Discount Campaign

First, go to the WowRevenue dashboard and click the campaigns tab. On this page, you will see a list of existing campaigns created by WowRevenue.

Click the Create Campaign button and choose bundle discount. It will take you to an interface where you can set up this campaign.

Step 2: Set Up the Basic Setting

Now, select the pages you want to display this campaign. You can also choose the display mode and in page position to optimize user experience.

I chose the product page and cart page to show my buyer about the bundle discount.

Step 3: Select the Trigger Product

In WowRevenue, the trigger product is the main product that activates the bundle discount offer. When a customer visits this product’s page, they’ll see the special bundle deal.

Moreover, they can see the offer on the cart page if the trigger product is added to the cart.

Select your trigger product carefully and enable the ‘Bundle with Trigger Product’ option.

Step 4: Select Products to Offer

Then choose the products to offer to create the bundle. These are the products that customers can get with the trigger product.

Set the minimum quantity, discount type, and value to control the bundle size.

💡 Pro Tips
You can add different products at different discount rates if you want. Otherwise, you should add the products in the same room if you want the same discount for all products.

Step 5: Configure Additional Settings

After that, you can edit the campaign headline and details to attract users. You can also offer free shipping, add a countdown timer, and animated add-to-cart button.

These settings will nudge your customer to act on the offer you displayed. It will increase the conversion rate by creating urgency.

Finally, save and publish the campaign to activate it. Once activated, users can see the bundle discount after visiting the trigger product’s page.

You can further edit the bundle discount from the campaigns page at your convenience.

Moreover, I could get extensive control over the campaigns I want to run. Its flexibility to customize the appearance of the campaigns helps me to create an immersive vibe and branding in my store.
