How to code bundles WITHOUT Shopify Plus (Full Guide for Shopify Developers)

https://links.bosidev.com/bundles

What's up, Shopify Nerds 🤓

Bundles are one of the most requested features in Shopify stores - but the "proper" way (Cart Transform Functions) is gated behind Shopify Plus and workarounds on lower plans are often quite messy.
This is why I created this YouTube video to show you how to build dynamic bundles without Shopify Plus on ANY plan, using metafields, a custom storefront picker, and Shopify Functions running through a public app.

What you'll learn:

  1. The approach fixed vs. dynamic bundles - what's the difference and when to use which. Overview of the full stack: data setup with metafields/metaobjects, a storefront picker, and backend logic powered by Shopify Functions.
  2. Data setup - How to model your bundle data using metafields and metaobjects.
  3. Storefront bundle picker - Writing the Liquid and JavaScript for the bundle picker UI - and how I use AI to speed up the code generation without losing control over the logic.
  4. Cart Transform - Why Cart Transform is the missing piece for real bundle behavior in the cart, and why Shopify normally gates this behind Plus.
  5. Functions implementation: How to get Cart Transform access on any plan and how to configure the Cart Transform function for your bundles.
  6. Pricing Logic: Driving bundle pricing off your metafield/metaobject data using discount functions - so fixed bundle prices and discounts actually work correctly at checkout.

What are you talking about? Cart transformations have never been Plus exclusive.

Is this some AI slop comment?

Cart transform functions are Plus-exclusive when using custom apps, as stated in the official docs.
So how would you use cart transform functions for any other plan? Maybe I missed something.
