When you need bundle orders to flow into a 3PL, ERP, or an export tool such as Matrixify, the important thing to know is that a bundle is fulfilled as its component products.
Note: Other apps' menus, settings and steps change over time and are outside our control. Always check the app's own documentation for the latest, and contact that app's support for anything specific to their app.
At checkout, the component products are the real line items on the order. Each component carries line item properties that identify the bundle it came from, including _biscuits_title and _biscuits_sku.
You can use these properties to:
Identify which line items belong to a bundle.
Group or label bundle components in an export, 3PL or ERP.
For the full detail, including how this differs from Shopify's native bundle grouping, see [Identifying bundle components on the final order (and exporting them)]. For background on how Shopify represents bundle line items on an order, see Shopify's bundle eligibility and considerations.
The _biscuits_title value is normally just the bundle name, but it changes so you can tell apart multiple bundles within the same order:
One bundle: the value is the bundle name, for example Mini Jam Trio.
The same bundle more than once in an order: the value gains a number suffix, for example Mini Jam Trio 2, then Mini Jam Trio 3, and so on.
A bundle line bought with a quantity above one: the value gains a (xN) suffix, for example Mini Jam Trio (x2).
So if a customer orders two of your Mini Jam Trio, the first three components read _biscuits_title = Mini Jam Trio and the next three read Mini Jam Trio 2. Your fulfilment team or 3PL can read the property to know exactly which items belong in which box.
Matrixify (also known as Excelify) can export your orders with their line item properties.
In Matrixify, create a New Export and select Orders with Line Items.
Run the export and download the file.
Each component appears as a line item, and the Line: Properties column contains its properties, including the _biscuits_title and _biscuits_sku values.
See Matrixify: export order line item properties and the Matrixify Orders format reference for the exact columns.
Your 3PL or ERP (for example Extensiv) receives the component line items and can pick, pack and track them like any other products. Use the _biscuits_title and _biscuits_sku properties to recognise which items came from a bundle.
If you have a specific 3PL, ERP or export tool and want to confirm how bundle orders will come through, reach out with the tool name and your store's .myshopify.com URL.
