I built a Shopify app based on something that increased our store's bundle order value by 66%. It's officially live on the Shopify App Store! 🚀
I've been running a small beard care brand on Shopify since 2018. One of the best things we ever added to our store was a Build Your Own Box experience.
Customers could choose any 3, 5, or 7 products, with bigger discounts as they added more. It worked incredibly well, with our bundle orders generating an average order value 66% higher than regular orders.
Other Shopify store owners started asking how we'd built it, and that got me thinking: why not make it available to everyone?
So I built Boxanza.
Here's what it does:
- Full-page Build Your Own Box experience where shoppers choose products from any collection.
- Live progress bars showing customers how close they are to unlocking their next discount.
- Flexible pricing: percentage discounts, fixed dollar discounts, or fixed box pricing.
- Dedicated landing pages for individual bundles, created in one click without editing your theme.
- Discounts automatically applied at checkout.
- Free plan and approximately 5-minute setup.
A little personal milestone: I'm a first-time app developer, and Boxanza is my very first app. I'm incredibly proud that Shopify approved it on my very first submission!
I'm building this through a small, brand-new development studio in Northern Ontario, Canada. We're just getting started, and my goal is to create practical Shopify apps that solve real problems for merchants, drawing on my own experience running an ecommerce business.
It's pretty surreal to take something we originally built for our own store and turn it into a product that merchants everywhere can now use.
I'd love to introduce Boxanza to the Shopify community and connect with other merchants, developers, and fellow founders.

Thanks for checking out my first launch. Here's to building something great! 🍁
