Quick answer
A widget-only discount applies when the shopper adds items through the bundle widget — not when they manually add the same products separately. It keeps tiered or bundle pricing aligned with the offer UI.
- 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.
Definition
A widget-only discount applies when the shopper adds items through the bundle widget — not when they manually add the same products separately. It keeps tiered or bundle pricing aligned with the offer UI.
Why it matters
Widget-only discounts prevent checkout surprises where a shopper expects a quantity-break price but added items individually.
How Kitforge uses this
Kitforge marks FBT and quantity break discounts as widget-initiated so the product-page tier or add-on selection matches checkout.
- fixed kit bundles — combine known products into one priced offer
- frequently bought together (FBT) — product-page add-on recommendations
- quantity breaks — tiered volume discounts when shoppers buy more units
Final recommendation
Understanding widget-only discount helps you choose the right bundle type and avoid checkout surprises. Apply the term when configuring Kitforge offers and when briefing your team.
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.
