Why did my bundle go back to draft?

A bundle turns to draft when its end date passes, at Shopify's discount limit, or when saved without Plus.

Updated November 4, 2026

Usually the bundle's end date passed. Within about 30 minutes of the end, the list shows it as Draft. A bundle also goes to draft at Shopify's discount limit, when you save it without Plus, or when the app is uninstalled.

The end date passed

  1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Bundles.
  2. Open the bundle.
  3. Open Settings, then Active dates.
  4. Pick a new End date, or untick Set end date.
  5. Click Publish.

Change the date before you publish. The list switch alone won't show a bundle whose end date has passed.

You hit Shopify's discount limit

You saw "We saved your bundle as a draft." Your store has 25 active automatic discounts. Turn one off in Shopify Discounts, then click Publish. Read Your store hit Shopify's limit of 25 active automatic discounts.

You saved without Plus

Saving a live bundle without active Plus makes it a draft and deletes its Shopify discount. Start Plus, then click Publish.

The app was uninstalled

Uninstalling sets every bundle to draft. After you install again, publish each bundle you want.
