An improved viewpoint of the bundles:
Shopify is improving how bundled products appear in customer email alerts! As of December 6, 2024, order-related email templates will now show orders with product bundles as a nested collection of line items. With this upgrade, bundles and their components are presented more clearly, improving the customer’s experience.
✅ What Has This Update Changed?
Customers will now receive a single summary of bundle components in these email alerts if you sell product bundles:
- Confirmation of order
- Updates on shipping
- A summary of the order
- Notifications of refunds
Bundled items used to show up as separate line items, which could have confused buyers. This upgrade will provide a more streamlined and user-friendly interface by displaying the bundled product as a parent item with its components displayed below.
🔔 Who Is the Update Effect?
Default notification templates used by stores:
Shopify has automatically adjusted your notice templates to the new grouped bundles view if you haven’t changed them.
Customized template stores (before December 6, 2024):
Your modifications are not immediately reflected if you have personalized your email notification templates. To display the new bundle format, you will have to manually edit your templates.
