How to Set Up the Compact Product Bundle Section in Concept

The Compact product bundle section displays a promotional image beside a group of products. Customers can choose variants and add the displayed products to their cart together. It is useful for promoting coordinated product sets without creating a separate bundle product.

Demo usage

See Build Your Bundle – Concept Demo. In the Concept 6.1.0 page.bundle.json template, the Compact product bundle section is configured with three speaker products, a promotional banner headed “Create Your Speaker Bundle”, and the image displayed second on desktop.

Steps:

Add the Compact product bundle section
  • From Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize on your Concept theme.
  • Open the page or template you want to edit.
  • Click Add section and select Compact product bundle.
  • Move the section to your preferred position and click Save.

Choose products for the bundle
  • Open the Compact product bundle section settings.
  • Choose a Collection to display products from that collection, or select individual items under Products.
  • Set Maximum products to show to 2, 3, or 4.
  • Click Save.

Important: When products are selected in Products, they take priority over Collection. This section adds the displayed products together, but does not automatically create a discount. Configure any bundle discount separately in Shopify admin.

Set up the promotional image and desktop layout
  • Upload an Image for the promotional card.
  • Set Desktop image placement to Image first or Image second.
  • Adjust Desktop content position (Top, Middle, or Bottom) and Desktop content alignment (Left, Center, or Right).
  • Click Save.

The promotional image and the product cards are shown in separate areas on desktop.

Customize the mobile layout
  • Upload a Mobile image if you want a different image for smaller screens. Otherwise, the desktop image is reused.
  • Choose Mobile image height, including Adapt to image or a fixed height.
  • Set Mobile content position and Mobile content alignment.
  • Enable Enable swipe on mobile to allow horizontal swiping through the products.
  • Preview the layout on mobile and click Save.

Configure variant selection and color swatches
  • Enable Show variant labels to show option names on product cards.
  • Choose the Variant picker type: Dropdown or Button.
  • For button-style pickers, enable Enable color swatches if needed.
  • Under Swatch type, choose Color swatch or Variant image.
  • Click Save.

For variant-image swatches, assign images to the relevant variants in Shopify admin.

Add promotional text and other content
  • Inside the section, click Add block.
  • Use Heading, Subheading, and Text to introduce the offer.
  • Add Button or Link blocks for navigation, or Icon and Image blocks for supporting visuals.
  • Use Empty space to adjust spacing between content blocks.
  • Custom Liquid and compatible App blocks are also supported.
  • Reorder the blocks and click Save.

Adjust colors, overlay, and parallax
  • Under Colors, customize text, background, highlight, button, and Overlay colors.
  • Change Overlay opacity to keep text readable over the promotional image.
  • Under Section, adjust Top padding and Bottom padding; optionally enable the section divider, full width, or rounded corners.
  • Enable Parallax effect for image movement while scrolling, then choose the Parallax direction: Vertical, Horizontal, or Zoom.
  • Click Save.

How it works

  • The section shows 2–4 products alongside a promotional image card.
  • Shoppers choose a variant for each product and use the section's Add to cart button to add the displayed products together.
  • The theme uses normal product prices. Promotional text such as “Save $30” does not apply a discount by itself.

Theme updates

  • Concept 6.1.0 (October 23, 2026): Reduced spacing between variant buttons in bundles for a more compact layout.
  • Concept 4.3.0 (July 10, 2025): Fixed an issue where the Compact Product Bundle promotional banner did not display correctly on mobile.

See the official Concept release notes.

Compact Product Bundle vs. Floating Product Bundle

  • Compact Product Bundle: Places the promotional image in a distinct card beside the product list.
  • Floating Product Bundle: Uses a larger promotional background, with a different layout for the bundle content.

Troubleshooting

  • No products appear: Select a collection or specific products in the section settings.
  • Unexpected products appear: Check Products first; it overrides Collection.
  • Mobile banner looks wrong: Set a suitable Mobile image and Mobile image height, and confirm the theme is up to date.
  • Swatches do not display: Check Variant picker type, Enable color swatches, and the variant images or swatch configuration.
  • Products cannot be added to cart: Check that every selected product and variant is available for purchase.
  • Bundle discount is missing: Create and configure the discount in Shopify admin; this section does not apply one automatically.
