Be sure to read the 'Important considerations' below before using this setting
Biscuits Bundles allows you to use a component product's Compare at price as the reference price when calculating bundle pricing.
With this setting enabled, your bundle pricing and discounts will remain consistent, even when the individual component items are on sale.
Biscuits will check that all Compare at prices are valid before applying them.
When enabled, the bundle’s component prices are calculated using each component’s Compare‑at price if it’s higher than its Price. This helps avoid “double discounting” on sale items.
It does not change the Compare‑at price on your bundle product. That separate behavior is controlled by the bundle form’s “Update compare-at price on save” option.
It does not change how your theme displays compare-at pricing on the bundle product itself.
The setting updates the bundle’s internal price map for components and affects the subtotal/discount/total shown by the bundle and used for validation.
Compare‑at must be greater than Price to be used. If equal/lower or missing, the Price is used instead.
Existing bundle products are refreshed in the background to recalculate component prices. This usually completes within a few minutes.
Only newly added items in carts will reflect updated pricing; items already in carts keep their prior pricing.
Here’s an example of how a component product behaves in a bundle with and without a Compare at price, using the "Use Compare at price" setting:
Product A and Product B are components inside of a Bundle product.
Product A
Price = $20
Compare at price = $30
If "Use Compare at price" is enabled, Biscuits Bundles will use $30 as the reference price for bundle pricing and discount calculations, as long as the Compare at price is higher than the Price. This helps keep bundle discounts consistent, even if Product A goes on sale.
Product B
Price = $20
Compare at price = $15 (or not set)
Since the Compare at price is not higher than the Price, Biscuits Bundles will use the Price ($20) as the reference for bundle pricing.
This setting ensures bundle pricing remains stable and discounts are calculated as intended, regardless of individual product sales. If the Compare at price is invalid (equal to or lower than the Price), the Price is used instead
The Compare at price is valid when it is higher than the Price.
This works similarly to the strikeout pricing feature available on most themes.
When the Compare at price is equal to, or lower than, the Price field, the Price will be used instead.
To turn the setting on, navigate to the Settings page through the menu in the Biscuits app.
On the Settings page, you'll find the 'Use compare at price' setting under 'App settings'
Note - this is an app-wide setting and will apply to all of your bundles in Biscuits.
When you update this setting, all existing bundle products will need time to re-sync their prices. This process usually takes less than 10 minutes.
Updated prices will only apply to new items added to carts. Items already in customers' carts will retain the old prices.
Use compare at price = on to Use compare at price = offIf you switch from using "Compare at price" to not using "Compare at price" - Some of your bundles that have component products with a 0 price may not meet validation criteria.
Be sure to double check your existing bundle settings are all valid when adjusting this setting.
