Shopify Bundles

We use bundles for 90% of the products we sell. HOWEVER, we have to create MAJOR work around to promote these on social ads. Bundles means we can’t use any of the native social sales channels. Reporting sucks because we have to create special reports to see sales data.
Bundles do not flow into Triple Whale but all the individual items do. As a result, we can’t see which bundle is the top seller.
The only benefit is the individual products flow into NetSuite so we can keep our inventory accurate.
Come on Shopify, Q4 is here…isn’t it time this is fixed?

Shopify announced that they increased their variant limit to 2000 back in ...January? But still has not rolled it out. This greatly limits the bundling app.

Worse things:
1. When I make a bundle it loses all knowledge of the original products offered variants and tries to combine aspects of a listing that never were options. (aka a pair of a book with rope offered in a few thicknesses and colors wont import the knowledge from the original rope listing about which colors are in which thicknesses)

2. No bulk editing. This is ridiculous. But the items created by the bundling app cant be bulk edited. This means every price has to be opened and set manually one at a time for each variation.

3. Unwanted variants have to be deleted one at a time. This means any excess variants the bundle app creates (see issue 1) have to be slowly deleted one by 1 (regular shopify products support deleting a few variants at once...)

4. No "optional" flag for making a bundle. Every item we bundle MUST be purchased by the customer all together. Meaning customers cannot choose to mix and match a kit of their own with rope and shears and books and rings. We have to set "this kit comes with all these things, take it or leave it"

The functionality in this app is very useful (at least the idea is), but unfortunately the app is annoying and frustrating to work with.
- It is not possible to change the position of the (bundled) variant options. Only way to do this is to remove and create the bundle again.
- No bulk editor
- It always creates a completely new product, and all settings and data from the original products must be added again one by one (weight, purchase price, etc.).
