**In short:** a build-your-own bundle walks the shopper through steps (choose a shirt, then trousers, then a belt) and prices the finished set as a bundle. It suits outfits, kits, routines and hampers. [Nanflows Bundles for Shopify](https://nanflows.com/products/nanflows-bundle-shopify) sets it up step by step, with a gift box version for gifting.

A build-your-own bundle walks the shopper through choices: Step 1, choose a shirt. Step 2, choose trousers. Step 3, choose a belt. At the end they have a complete set they picked themselves, at a bundle price.

It’s one of the best ways to sell a whole outfit, kit or routine, because each step is a small, easy decision. This guide shows how to set one up with [Nanflows Bundles for Shopify](https://nanflows.com/products/nanflows-bundle-shopify).

## Who it suits

- **Fashion:** 1 top, 1 bottom, 1 accessory.
- **Food:** a main, 2 sides and a drink.
- **Skincare and beauty:** cleanser, serum, moisturiser.
- **Electronics:** a PC build, or a device with a case and a charger.
- **Hampers and gifts:** a sweet, a savoury, a candle.

If every choice comes from one pool (“pick any 3”), you want [Mix & Match](https://nanflows.com/blog/shopify-mix-and-match-bundles) instead. Build your own is for bundles with a structure.

## How to design the steps

- **Name each step as an action:** “Choose your shirt” reads better than “Shirts”.
- **Put the main product first.** People pick the shirt, then match the rest.
- **Keep it short.** Three or four steps is plenty, even though you can have up to 10.
- **Set a minimum and a maximum for each step:** exactly 1 shirt, 1–2 accessories.
- **Keep each step’s choices manageable.** If a step has many products, turn on search and filters.

## Setting it up

1. Create a bundle and choose **Build your own**.
2. **Add the steps.** Each has a name, a minimum, a maximum and its own products, with the sizes and colours you allow.
3. **Set the discount:** a percentage off, an amount off, a fixed bundle price, tiers by item count, or no discount.
4. **Choose where it shows**, and turn on **its own page** for the full-page builder.
5. **Design it:** layout, brand colour, button text such as “Build my look”, and a badge.
6. Review and publish.

## What the shopper sees

- The steps one by one, each saying how many items it needs.
- A clear message if they pick too many: “Step 2: you can add only 1 product.”
- Their picks building up, with the total and the saving.
- A quick view for any product, with its photos and description.
- The Add button once every step is complete.

On the bundle’s own page, the full-page builder shows every product as a card with its own Add button, and a bar at the bottom with the picks, what’s left, the price and the cart button. Share that page in ads and emails: it’s a landing page for the bundle.

## Gift boxes: build your own, for gifting

If the bundle is a gift, use the **Gift box** type. The shopper picks the products, adds gift wrapping if you offer it (it doesn’t count as one of the picks), and writes a message that shows on the order. It’s made for Diwali, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and corporate gifts.

## Pricing ideas

- **A fixed price for a full outfit:** “Any shirt, trousers and belt for $99.”
- **A percentage off the whole set:** “20% off when you build your look”, which works when prices vary a lot.
- **Tiers:** a bigger discount if the shopper fills an optional extra step.

## In the cart and the order

Sell it **as its own product** for one cart line that lists what’s inside, or **as a discount** on the picked items, with each item on its own line. The discount option also lets you use subscriptions and A/B tests on the bundle.

Each item’s own stock is used, and orders keep every item on its own line, so your team packs and refunds item by item.
