Frequently asked questions
Q: How does stock management work with bundles?
A: Each product a customer selects is added to the cart as its own real line item. WooCommerce’s native stock management handles deduction per product at checkout — there is no separate inventory layer in BundlePilot. If a product becomes out of stock while a customer is building their bundle, the wizard disables it automatically within 30 seconds.
Q: Does BundlePilot work with the block-based cart and checkout?
A: Yes. BundlePilot extends the WooCommerce Store API so bundle metadata is available to the block cart and checkout. Parent-child relationships, bundle badges, the “Included” price label, and locked quantities all display correctly.
Q: What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
A: Deactivating does not delete bundle products or settings. If you reactivate later, all configurations are restored exactly as they were. Bundle products will simply show as unavailable while the plugin is deactivated.
Q: What are the Free plan limits?
A: The Free plan supports up to 3 bundles, 3 steps per bundle, category-based product sourcing, and single-choice steps (each step requires the customer to choose exactly one item). Upgrading to Pro removes all limits and unlocks tiered discounts, hand-picked steps, and flexible min/max quantities.
Q: Can I migrate bundles between sites?
A: Yes, with the Business plan’s Import/Export feature. Export your bundles as JSON from one site and import them on another. Hand-picked product references are stored by SKU so they resolve correctly on the new site even if the product IDs differ.
Q: Can customers change the quantity of a bundle in the cart?
A: No — bundle quantity is locked at 1 in the cart. To get a different configuration, customers must remove the bundle and re-build it. This is intentional since the bundle’s contents (and therefore price) are tied to the specific selections made.
Q: Does the plugin remove any data when uninstalled?
A: Only if you enable the Remove data on uninstall setting under Settings → Advanced before uninstalling. By default, all settings and product meta are preserved so a reinstall restores everything.
Q: Can I use the bundle wizard in an Elementor or Divi page builder?
A: The wizard renders on the WooCommerce single product page. As long as your page builder theme outputs the standard WooCommerce single product hooks (woocommerce_single_product_summary, etc.), the wizard will appear. If not, the plugin’s fallback tab mechanism will display the builder in a product tab.
Q: How do tiered discounts calculate when customers select items across multiple steps?
A: Tiered discounts are based on the total item count across all steps combined. For example, if a customer selects 2 items in Step 1 and 2 items in Step 2, the total is 4 items. If you have a tier set at 4 items for 10% off, the 10% discount applies to the entire bundle.
Q: What product types can be added to bundle steps?
A: BundlePilot includes simple products and product variations in bundle steps. Variable products themselves are not shown; their individual variations are.
