Overview
Mimeeq provides advanced bundling functionality for 3D configurators integrated with Shopify stores. This feature allow you to group multiple product components into a single purchase unit, enabling complex product configurations to be added to cart as packages.
Bundling Methods by Product Type
Standard Products - Two Bundling Approaches
Standard products support two bundling methods
- Cart Transform API (Dynamic Bundling) - Real-time bundling that occurs during the cart process without creating products in your catalog.
- Admin Bundling - Creates static bundles via Shopify's Admin API during the add-to-cart process.
Modular Products - Custom Bundling Methods
Modular products use different bundling approaches that allow flexible element combinations. See the Modular Product Bundles section for detailed configuration.
Creating Bundles in Mimeeq
To create a bundle in Mimeeq, follow these steps:
- Navigate to your product's configuration page
- Open the Pricing and Codes tab
- Find the Add to Cart Configuration section
- In the Method dropdown, select your bundling approach - Single Custom Product or Shopify Custom Defined Logic
Single Custom Product
When you select Single Custom Product, your configured product will be added as a single item to the cart. This is the simplest approach where all components are combined into one product.
Shopify Custom Defined Logic (Multiple Components)
When you select Shopify Custom Defined Logic, you have three independent options that can be used separately or together:
- Custom Products to Create - Creates entirely new products in Shopify before adding to cart
- Single Variants to Add to Cart - Adds existing Shopify variants directly to the cart as a single item
- Bundles - Creates a grouped collection of products that are treated as a single unit. Choose between:
- Cart Bundle (Cart Transform API) - For dynamic bundling
- Admin Bundle - For static bundle creation
