Moving Your Bundles to Standard bundles
Why Move to Standard Bundles?
At Kitenzo, we are always looking for ways to make your store more stable and your workflow more efficient. Standard bundles are the natural evolution of our app, built directly on Shopify’s modern bundling infrastructure. While our legacy Single SKU and Multi SKU systems served us well, moving to Standard offers a smoother experience for both you and your customers.
Currently we’re offering a free migration service where we can collate some information and then migrate your bundles for you.

The Benefits of Upgrading:
- No More Multiple "Dummy Products" Variants: Say goodbye to the variant explosion and cluttered catalogs often found with Single SKU setups. Standard bundles create one variant and then no more.
- Native Discount Compatibility: Standard bundles play perfectly with Shopify’s native discount system, allowing you to run site-wide promotions effortlessly.
- Theme Independence: Your bundles will remain intact even if you switch or update your Shopify theme, removing the need for custom cart selectors.
- Cleaner Fulfillment: Your orders will appear with a simple, clean line-item output, making it easier for your warehouse team to manage.
- Future-Proof: All new Kitenzo features are being developed exclusively for the Standard bundle type.

How to Migrate: A Step-by-Step Guide
Before you begin, verify your current bundle type by checking the "Type" column in your Kitenzo dashboard.
Migrating from Legacy Single SKU or Legacy Separate SKU bundles
-
Step 1: Navigate to your bundles in Kitenzo.
Step 2: Click on the bundle to open the bundle dashboard.
Step 3: Under the Product organization section click on the 'change' link.
Step 4: In the modal that opens select Standard Bundle, then the 'Done' Button
Step 5: Save
Verify the Migration
Once you have converted a bundle, perform these three checks:
- Add to Cart: Ensure the bundle adds to the cart without errors.
- Check Inventory: Confirm that the individual components’ inventory levels deduct correctly after a test purchase.
- Test Discounts: Apply a native Shopify discount code at checkout to ensure it calculates as expected.
Removing old Dummy Products.
When moving to Standard bundles you no longer need these legacy dummy products to support the live bundle and can generate a single new one simply by adding your bundle to cart.
1.Finding the dummy product page
Dummy product pages are found in Admin > Products and have the same name as your bundles. They are also listed as a Custom Bundle Product type (exclusive to Kitenzo) to help filter and locate them.
Remember: If you have a large number of products, you can sort by Type to find all your Custom Bundles (dummy products).
- To access a dummy product page, click the dummy product. Dummy product pages look like normal Product pages, and contain a text note in the description confirming they are a dummy product.
- Delete all the Dummy Products related to your specific bundle.
- In Kitenzo you can preview your bundle and add a bundle to the cart. Adding the bundle to your cart, this will generate a new dummy product.
- Ensure your new Dummy Product is correctly linked in your navigation and theme sections.
Important! To process returns or exchanges from bundle purchases you still need the old dummy product data. Only delete the old dummy products if they are no longer needed as a reference to previous orders.
