Layouts & which to use
There are two separate choices, both at the top of the Bundle Items tab:
- Layout is the whole-page layout: List, Grid, Step by step, or Configurator.
- Multiple items is how the units of a single multi-quantity item are arranged: Stacked, Compact cards, Table, or the Quantity grid.
They are independent, so you can mix them, for example a List page with a Quantity grid inside one item.
Prefer to look before you choose? Layouts in pictures shows every option with a screenshot and the exact setting that produces it.
Page layout
Section titled “Page layout”List (default)
Section titled “List (default)”Every item is a card, stacked down the page, each with its photo, options and price. The customer sees the whole bundle at once. Best for most bundles, especially short ones.
The same cards arranged side by side in a responsive grid. Good when a bundle has several items and you want them to feel like a set the customer scans rather than a long scroll.
Step by step Pro
Section titled “Step by step Pro”One item in focus at a time, with numbered steps, green ticks, Back and Next buttons and free jumping between steps. The running total stays visible throughout, and the customer lands on the first incomplete step (handy for edit-from-cart and shared links). Best for long or involved builds like a PC configurator, where showing everything at once would overwhelm. Without the Builder, Step by step falls back to List.
Configurator Pro
Section titled “Configurator Pro”A full-page, two-pane builder: the choices on one side, a live summary and running total that stay in view on the other. Rich option cards show each choice with its picture and the price difference it makes, so a customer building something involved always sees where they are and what it costs. Best for premium, considered purchases, a PC build, a bike, a made-to-order package, where the build itself is part of the experience. Like Step by step, it falls back to List without the Builder.
Multiple items: displaying a product bought in quantity
Section titled “Multiple items: displaying a product bought in quantity”This setting only changes a variable product the customer can buy more than one of. Simple products and single-unit slots always look the same. It also applies inside a choice slot, so whichever product the customer picks is shown in the layout you chose.
Stacked (default)
Section titled “Stacked (default)”One card per unit, down the page. Clear and familiar; existing bundles look exactly as before.
Compact cards
Section titled “Compact cards”A tidy card per unit with the fields wrapping neatly and no sideways scrolling. The best choice when each unit is personalised (a name, a number, a position), because every unit has room for its own details.
One compact row per unit, attributes as columns. A spreadsheet-style view for people who like to fill a grid quickly. With many columns the row scrolls sideways, so Compact cards is usually the friendlier default.
Quantity grid Pro
Section titled “Quantity grid Pro”The customer taps a colour and types how many of each size, building a bulk run like five small navy plus five large red in one grid, instead of configuring ten units one at a time. Ideal for workwear, team kit and any size run. See Quantity grid.
Linking items to their product pages
Section titled “Linking items to their product pages”Tick Link items to their product pages on the Bundle Display tab and a small arrow appears beside each item’s name. It opens the product’s own page in a new tab, so customers can check ingredients, size guides or reviews without losing the bundle they are building. Names stay plain text, so nobody navigates away by accident, and choice cards are never links (clicking those selects). Off by default.
Two helpers for multi-unit items
Section titled “Two helpers for multi-unit items”- All the same: configure the first unit, and every other unit follows it: colour, size, and any drop-down or tick-box personalisation such as branding or position. Unique fields like names stay per unit, so for a team order you set one up, then just type each name. Switch the toggle off afterwards and the copied selections stay in place, ready for you to adjust a single unit.
Which combination to use
Section titled “Which combination to use”| Your store | Page layout | Multiple items |
|---|---|---|
| A small fixed pack (2 to 3 items) | List | Stacked |
| A bundle with many items to scan | Grid | Stacked |
| A long or complex configurator | Step by step Pro | Stacked or Compact cards |
| A premium, considered build (PC, bike, made-to-order) | Configurator Pro | Stacked or Compact cards |
| Personalised team kit (names per unit) | List or Grid | Compact cards |
| A bulk size run (workwear, 10+ split across sizes) | List | Quantity grid Pro |
| Fast spreadsheet-style entry | List | Table |
Pick the page layout for how the bundle reads as a whole, then pick Multiple items for how a single repeated item is filled in. When in doubt, leave both on their defaults (List and Stacked); they suit most bundles.
Defaults stay List and Stacked, so nothing changes on existing bundles until you choose otherwise.
