Updated November 9, 2026

Drafts are free. Publishing needs Section Store Plus. You can build, preview and save bundles as drafts without paying. To show a bundle to shoppers, you need Plus. Plus costs $15/month, and new stores get a 14-day free trial.

You find bundles under Bundles in the app's menu. The page itself is headed Bundles too.

Section Store Plus is our plan. Shopify Plus is Shopify's own plan. Bundles need Section Store Plus, not Shopify Plus.

What's free

  • Create, edit, preview and save bundles as drafts.
  • Use the ready-made templates and the deals we build for your store. Without Plus, they keep their own words.
  • Let a connected AI assistant build bundles. They stay drafts.

What needs Plus

A free trial counts as Plus.

  • Publish in the editor, and the on/off switch in the bundle list.
  • Showing bundles on your store. Shopify only shows the Bundles app embed and the Bundle app block while your store has active Plus.
  • The bundle discount at checkout.
  • The AI tools in the bundle area: Customize with AI, Generate image, Create from screenshot and Describe your bundle.
  • Translating bundle text and running A/B tests.
  • The market and language dropdowns in the editor's preview.
  • The editor's automatic Shopify check and repair.

What you see without Plus

  • The editor shows Unlock bundle publishing, then "Save bundle drafts for free." and "Upgrade to publish live."
  • Upgrade to Plus replaces Publish.
  • The switches in the bundle list are grey.
  • The AI tools say "An active subscription is required to use the AI assistant."

Price and trial

  • Plus costs $15/month. Older subscribers may keep $8 or $10.
  • New stores get a 14-day free trial.
  • A store that had Plus before gets only what's left of its first trial.

To start, click Upgrade to Plus in the bundle editor or on the Bundles page.
