The Personalized Discounts on Product Bundles allows you to offer different incentives for different audiences. Merchants with access to the Audience Segmentation feature can create and present a different discount offer to different shoppers to best align with each shopper's expectations. It comes with several options for brands to discount product bundles to bolster product discovery, increase customer engagement, and boost average order value (AOV).
The Personalized Discounts on Product Bundles feature is available for free to customers on the Premium plan, and available as an add-on for customers on the Essentials plan.
Getting Started
There are 2 requirements to displaying personalized discounts on product bundle:
There must be a bundle recommendation box on the product page
There must be a discount campaign available that applies to the bundle
The Bundle Discounts are fully and natively integrated with LimeSpot product bundles. The discount campaigns you create will be automatically applied to all product bundles on your store if the criteria of the campaign matches the product bundle.
If you do not already have a bundle set up, please follow the steps described in this article.
Once a bundle is available, create a discount campaign by navigating to Conversions > Discounts and Promotions tab:
Set your discount campaign parameters
Click the Create Campaign button and follow the steps to create a new discount campaign. All changes will be applied immediately upon saving the campaign.
When creating a new discount campaign, the first step is to configure the discount parameters. To do this, follow these steps:
Select a title for your campaign. This title is for internal use only and will not be shown to your site’s visitors.
Select a discount type, which can be a percentage, a specific flat amount, or free shipping.
Specify the discount amount.
4. In the Bundle Conditions section, select the conditions that trigger the discount.
5. Select the discount types that can be combined with your current discount on checkout page, if any.
6. Lastly, set the activation and deactivation conditions of your campaign. Click Next.
Select products to include/exclude
In the second step, select which products should be included and/or excluded in your discount campaign.
In this step, you can use collections, product types, product tags, specific products, and product recommendations to define the scope of your discount campaign.
If you do not include or exclude specific products, all your products will be subject to the discount by default. As such, all product bundles in your store will be connected to your selected discount campaign.
Using matching conditions
"Any" means that the condition is true if a product matches at least one condition.
"All" means that the condition is true if a product matches all the conditions. Choosing “All” can significantly limit the products included in your campaign.
Tip: Use the Exclude option to prevent Top Sellers or already discounted products from being subject to your discount campaign.
Set the audience segment(s)
You may select which audience segment(s) can access the discount. This option is only available to customers who have the Audience Segmentation feature enabled.
If you do not have access to Audience Segmentation or choose to leave this section undefined, then all shoppers will have access to the discount.
Use the same “any” / ”all” logic as in the previous step. If you choose “any,” then any audience segments you include in the list will have access to the discount campaign. If you choose “all,” then a shopper must match every audience segment you add to access the discount campaign.
You will not see any options on the Audience Target dropdown if you have not created any Audience Segments. You can move ahead without selecting any audiences, which means all your shoppers will be presented with the same discount campaigns on your online store.
Tip: For the purpose of testing, you can choose different audiences for different test scenarios to ensure that a particular campaign is displayed to the right audience!
Customize your Discount Campaign Language
You can customize the text that will be displayed as part of your campaign.
The Discount Tag refers to the short, bright label that appears next to the discount information for shoppers.
Discount Text is to the right of the tag and provides more details about the offered discount.
The Discount Footnote is the “fine print” for your campaign. This text's layout, styling, and placement are handled through the Designer (like it’s normally done with bundles).
Review and complete
Once you’ve completed steps above, you should confirm the details of your discount campaign. If you need to make any changes, then click Previous to return to a prior stage in the process. Click Complete if you’re ready to move on, but please note that there is still one step remaining.
Add to the Designer and Publish
Once the last step of the discount campaign creation is completed, head on over to the Designer (Conversions > Website Personalization, then select Designer).
From there, go to the Product page where you will find, at the bottom of the left column, the Discounts and Promotions section.
Click on Product Bundle Discounts and check the box in the General section to enable bundle discounts.
You can preview how each of your discount campaigns will appear to shoppers by selecting each of your discount campaigns from the Preview drop-down menu. This allows you to view different audience segments for your Discount Campaign without belonging to one yourself.
Remember that the products shown in the bundle, while in the Designer, are randomly selected and that an appropriately personalized selection will be shown to shoppers on your live website.
Once you are satisfied, be sure to Publish your edits in the Designer so they are live in your store.
If you set a delayed start time for your campaign, then the campaign will not be displayed until it is Active based on the set date/time.
When you’re ready to create more discount campaigns, you can either start from scratch or duplicate one of your campaigns and adjust the settings as needed before saving as a new campaign.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of discounts are currently available?
What type of discounts are currently available?
LimeSpot provides a variety of discount types to enhance your e-commerce offerings. Here's a detailed overview of what you can access:
Percentage Discount
Percentage discounts allow you to entice shoppers by applying a specific percentage reduction to the total price of the product(s).
Best Practice: Offering a percentage discount for items under $100 will appear to be of a greater value than the dollar amount discount. For example, 25% off $75 appears larger than $18.75 off $75.
Fixed Amount Discount
Fixed amount discounts give shoppers a set dollar amount off their product purchase(s).
Best Practice: Offering a dollar amount discount for items over $100 dollars will always look larger than a percentage discount. For example, $75 off $300 appears larger than 25% off $300.
Free Shipping
Free shipping is a shopper favorite that eliminates shipping costs entirely. It's a powerful motivator for shoppers to complete their purchases without hesitation.
Best Practice: Offering free shipping can improve conversion rates, reduce cart abandonment, and enhance the overall shopping experience, ultimately boosting your sales.
Where can discount campaigns/discounted bundles be shown on my website?
Where can discount campaigns/discounted bundles be shown on my website?
Discounts and Promotions on product bundles can currently only be displayed on product pages. This is because all product bundles require a primary product to use to create a bundle suggestion.
If an item is deselected from a bundle, then what happens to the discount?
If an item is deselected from a bundle, then what happens to the discount?
If an item is removed from the bundle, the discount will no longer apply. The same thing happens if one of the products is removed from the cart after it is added.
If a shopper adds multiple numbers of the same discounted product to their cart when they purchase a bundle, will the additional products also be discounted?
If a shopper adds multiple numbers of the same discounted product to their cart when they purchase a bundle, will the additional products also be discounted?
The products included in the bundle will only be discounted once, for a single item. For example, a discounted bundle includes 3 products: a bracelet, a watch, and a belt. If shoppers add the bundle of the 3 products to their cart and an addition of 2 more belts, the additional belts would NOT be discounted.
If a shopper purchases only one of the products in the bundle, will it still be discounted?
If a shopper purchases only one of the products in the bundle, will it still be discounted?
The bundle discount only applies if the shopper purchases the whole bundle and will not apply to individual products if the bundle is broken apart. For example, a discounted bundle that includes 3 products: a bracelet, a watch, and a belt. If the shopper unchecks the boxes for the belt and watch and adds only the bracelet to their cart, then the bracelet will NOT be discounted.
Additionally, the bundle discount will only be applied if the bundle is added to the cart as a whole, and not by adding the bundle product to the cart one-by-one.
If a shopper purchases a discounted bundle and then returns to the store later, can they purchase the bundle again?
If a shopper purchases a discounted bundle and then returns to the store later, can they purchase the bundle again?
Bundle discounts use discount codes that can only be used once. This means that the discount previously applied is no longer available for the new purchase. However, if at the time of the 2nd purchase, the same or a similar campaign is active, the shopper may see the bundle discount again and can purchase the products at a discount.
Note: All LimeSpot discounts are set up to be 1 use per customer.
How does the discount get applied? Does the customer need to add it manually?

The customer does not need to apply the discount manually, it is automatically applied.
Can I add more than 1 bundle to the cart?
Can I add more than 1 bundle to the cart?
Only 1 LimeSpot bundle can be added to the cart at this time. Multiple bundles from different product pages will not work together. If a customer adds two different bundles to their cart, only the most recently added bundle discount will be applied.
Can I create a discount for all products in my catalog?
Can I create a discount for all products in my catalog?
It is possible to create a discount that will apply to all the products in your catalog.
As described above, you can use specific Audience Segments, collections, product types, product tags, specific products, and product recommendations to create multiple Discounts and Promotions on product bundles. When the discount campaign is activated, you could craft your discount campaigns so they ultimately apply a discount of a varying amount to every product in your catalog.
A simple way to apply a discount to every product in your catalog would be to select no specific products or Audience Segments when creating your discount campaign. The discount automatically applies to all products and shoppers when you include all products and audiences.
Can I create a discount for all my visitors?

A simple way to apply a discount to every product in your catalog would be to select no specific products or Audience Segments when creating your discount campaign.

Otherwise, you can use product collections, product types, product tags, specific products, and product recommendations to define which discounts will be applied to certain products.
Can discounts be reused?
Can discounts be reused?
We designed the bundle discounts to be single-use and as such, cannot be reused. While the discount applies automatically, every discount will have its own unique discount code per shopper, which is tracked and verified during all steps from the cart to checkout to purchase. This ensures that no shoppers can “share” their discount codes with others and each shopper can use 1 discount code only once.

Discount Campaigns Priority Order
Discount Campaigns Priority Order
Merchants can define or change the discount campaigns' priority to clarify which campaign should run when there are multiple active discount campaigns per product per shopper. Sometimes a shopper may view a product that is in multiple bundles. This priority will help the merchant show the bundle discount they want as the primary option to the shopper.
To set a priority order for your discount campaigns, you’ll need to have at least 2 campaigns. Be sure you have selected the Status option that includes the discount campaigns you want to reorder. Then click the “Reorder” button on the top right side of the screen.
Campaigns in the top position have the highest priority. The bottom of your campaign list will have the lowest priority.
