Quick answer
True mix-and-match (choose N from a set) maps to build_a_box in Kitforge data model but is not in the merchant create flow. Use fixed kits for curated sets or FBT for optional add-ons until build-a-box ships.
- No mix-and-match UI yet.
- Fixed kit + FBT cover most cases.
- Do not promise pick-N in Kitforge today.
- Subscribe to product updates.
Workaround
Snack discovery: fixed kit with predetermined assortment. Personalized: FBT with optional flavors capped at 3 selections via copy, not builder UI.
Rotate fixed kit assortments monthly instead of open picker until build-a-box ships.
What build-a-box will change
Kitforge data model includes build_a_box; merchant create UI is not live yet. Do not promise pick-N in sales materials today.
Native Shopify limits
Shopify Bundles supports fixed sets, not choose-N-from-collection configurators.
When to use a dedicated builder app
If pick-N is your core product experience this quarter, evaluate bundle builder apps — then migrate to Kitforge when build-a-box launches if fit is strong.
Final recommendation
Merchandise with fixed kits and FBT until build-a-box launches.
If you want this kind of offer to feel native to the buying journey, Kitforge Bundles is built around that exact problem: turning related Shopify products into clearer bundle offers before the shopper reaches checkout.
