Quick answer
Frequently bought together (FBT) is a product-page pattern where a trigger product shows related add-ons — accessories, refills, or complementary items — that shoppers can add in one action.
- Bundle terminology is inconsistent across Shopify — define terms before choosing an app.
- Merchandising language (kit, FBT, tier) should match what shoppers see on the product page.
- Operational terms (max sellable quantity, expanded SKUs) matter at fulfillment time.
- Kitforge uses these concepts in the admin editor and storefront widgets.

FBT fits catalogs with clear accessory relationships: skincare steps after a hero serum, lens after a camera body, filters after a coffee maker.
How Kitforge uses this
Kitforge FBT lets merchants pick trigger products, configure add-ons with required/optional rules, and discount add-ons only or all selected items.
- fixed kit bundles — combine known products into one priced offer
- frequently bought together (FBT) — product-page add-on recommendations
