What's a variant prefix?
When a customer picks products for a bundle they essentially create a bundle configuration. In other words, they create a specific combination of products available from the bundle page. Bundle configurations are automatically assigned a unique identification number.
To help keep track of these specific bundle configurations, these identification numbers are preceded by variant prefixes - which you can edit to suit your store.
Editing variant prefixes
The variant prefix precedes the bundle configuration number. This is generally used as a reference number that the customer can quote. For example, if they need to make a return.
To edit the prefix:
Step 1: Go to Bundles.
Step 2: Select the bundle that you would like to edit.
Step 3: Click the Shipping & Tax tab.
Step 4: Enter your Variant prefix.
Step 5: Click Save.
You may wish to edit your variant prefix to specify what type of bundle product you are selling.
Examples:
- Bundle #001
- Gift Box #001
- Spa Package #001
- Pick 'N Mix Bag #001
Locating auto-generated variants
Every time a customer puts a new bundle configuration into their cart, Bundle Builder will automatically generate a variant to represent the configuration of that customer's bundle.
Locating auto-generated variants for Single SKU bundles
For Single SKU bundles, these variants can be found on the bundle's dummy product page within your Shopify Admin dashboard.
To locate the auto-generated variants for Single SKU bundles:
Step 1: Go to Products.
Step 2: Select the dummy product that represents your bundle (it will have the same name as your bundle).
Step 3: Scroll to Variants.
It's important to note that these bundle variants do not function like order numbers - variants do not represent a specific customer's bundle, but instead they represent the specific combination of products within the bundle.
As a result, if multiple customers add exactly the same products to their bundle, they can share the same bundle variant.
Customers with the same bundle configurations can share the same bundle variant.
