A leading nail care brand generated more than $7.7 million in bundle revenue across 80,000+ orders using Easy Bundle Builder, with only three bundles live in the store. In July 2026, one customizable system kit accounted for nearly 60% of all bundle revenue.

The story behind that performance starts much earlier, with a five-step manicure system, an established product catalogue, and two very different ways customers needed to shop it.

An Established Nail Care Brand Built Around a Five-Step System

This case study covers an established nail care brand that has been selling online since 2017. The brand has been selling online since 2017. By the time it introduced its first bundle in 2025, it had already built a strong e-commerce business, a large shade catalogue, and customers ranging from individual shoppers to salon professionals.

At the centre of the catalogue is a five-step manicure system made up of prep, base coat, colour, top coat and a reviver.

Each of those products is also sold separately. That matters because many customers do not need the entire routine every time they shop. 

An existing customer may only need another base coat. Someone else may want to add a new colour. Selling the components individually makes those purchases straightforward.

However, an issue arose when a new customer wanted to recreate the entire manicure system at home in a cost-effective way.

Why Bundles Made Sense

Existing customers often know exactly what they need. They may come back for another base coat, replace a product they have finished, or add a new colour to their collection.

A new customer building the full manicure routine has a different buying need. Instead of shopping for one product, they need several products that work together as a complete system.

Bundling gave the brand a way to serve that buying occasion in one place. Customers could start with the full routine, then personalize the purchase with the colours they wanted rather than assembling the system product by product.

That also created a clear commercial opportunity. 

A complete-system purchase naturally carries more value than a single-item order, and additional shade choices give customers room to expand the basket further. AOV therefore became an important metric to watch, alongside the incremental revenue generated through bundles.

Introduction

A leading nail care brand generated more than $7.7 million in bundle revenue across 80,000+ orders using Easy Bundle Builder, with only three bundles live in the store. In July 2026, one customizable system kit accounted for nearly 60% of all bundle revenue.

That also created a clear commercial opportunity. 

A complete-system purchase naturally carries more value than a single-item order, and additional shade choices give customers room to expand the basket further. AOV therefore became an important metric to watch, alongside the incremental revenue generated through bundles.

Challenges

Why the Brand Needed More Than a Fixed Product Kit

The Products Have Real Functional Dependencies

A standard fixed kit could have brought the five products together, but it would not have reflected how the manicure system actually works.

Several components perform specific functional roles within the routine. Nail Prep removes oils so the Base Coat can bond correctly, while the brand warns customers not to add Reviver to the Base Coat because doing so can damage it. Long-wear performance depends on the system being used correctly.

Colour works differently. It sits within the same routine, but the shopper can change shades without changing the underlying system.

That created the real configuration challenge. The merchant needed the core manicure system to remain consistent while still giving customers freedom over colour.

A fixed kit would make the routine easier to buy, but it would also remove the personalization that matters most in a colour-led category. The next step was therefore to build a bundle that could hold the functional system together while leaving the preference-led part open to the shopper.

Solution

How Easy Bundle Builder Implemented the Merchant's Idea?

Easy Bundle Builder was used to create the Build Your System Kit: four functional products included by default, two slots left open for the shopper, one for shades and one for extras. Below is how that structure works, and where it sits in the store.

Four Included Items, Two Open Slots

The kit starts partly assembled. Four products, Nail Prep, Base Coat, Top Coat, and the Reviver, sit under Included Items from the moment the page loads. Beside them are two open slots: Pick Your Shades and Extras.

The kit therefore arrives visibly unfinished. The core manicure system is already in place, while the open spaces show the shopper where their choices begin.

As products are selected, each one appears as its own tile with its own remove control, separate from the four included items. The shopper can change those selections without disturbing the core system, and the ‘Extras’ slot stays open for additional products.

This gives the merchant control over the products that form the foundation of the manicure while leaving the preference-led part of the purchase to the shopper. The order can grow through those choices instead of requiring the merchant to push customers into a larger fixed package.

Easy Bundle Builder’s Mix and Match bundles allow merchants to pre-set core items while letting customers customize the rest from specific products or collections, using quantity rules to manage the bundle structure.

The Kit Sat Inside Normal Browsing

Introducing the system kit did not change how individual products were already sold. Nail Prep, Base Coat, Colour, Top Coat and the Reviver remained available separately for customers replenishing a product or shopping for a particular shade.

The kit added a second buying path alongside those individual purchases:

  • It was built directly on a product page: Shoppers can configure their kit within the storefront using a bundle picker
  • The customizable portion also works with products already managed in the catalogue: Easy Bundle Builder picks products directly from Shopify inventory, allowing merchants to update options automatically without building new kits for every combination.

This flexibility is essential for a changing colour catalogue. Merchants manage their inventory as usual, while bundles offer a configurable way for customers to shop. Integrating bundles into site navigation makes them discoverable during regular browsing, not just through campaigns.

The standard catalogue serves specific needs, while the kit caters to customers who want to assemble a complete, personalized manicure in one transaction.

The Results

Bundles Grew Into a Meaningful Share of the Business

Since setting up the bundle, the brand has generated $7.7 million in bundle revenue across 80000+ bundle orders. For instance, July 2026 shows how that plays out in a single recent month: $400k+ in bundle revenue across 4000+ bundle orders. Against store GMV of $1,902,542, bundles contributed 23.2% of revenue that month, and close to one in six store orders contained a bundle.

The bundle did not replace the existing catalogue. It grew alongside individual product purchasing until it accounted for almost a quarter of monthly store revenue.

Average Order Value Became an Important Part of the Result

The system kit was designed to let shoppers begin with the complete routine and then expand the purchase through additional colour choices. Average order value is the clearest way to see whether that happened.

  • Across the June to September 2025 measurement period, bundle AOV was $84.63.
  • Lifetime bundle AOV stands at $95.86.
  • In July 2026, bundle AOV reached $105.63, which is 24.8% above the mid-2025 level.

Bundle view-to-order conversion barely moved, from 4.13% across the programme’s lifetime to 4.21% in July 2026. That suggests the growth came less from a major conversion-rate jump and more from higher-value bundle orders.

One Customizable System Kit Generated Nearly 60% of Bundle Revenue

In July 2026, the customizable system kit generated $262,893, accounting for 59.6% of all bundle revenue that month.

That concentration makes the system kit particularly useful to examine. The merchant had several bundle experiences live, but customers responded much more strongly to the one built around a clear buying occasion: assembling the complete manicure system while retaining control over colour.

The result also reinforces the strategy behind the build. The value came from designing a bundle around a specific customer need and giving that bundle a clear role within the existing catalogue.

What Other Shopify Merchants Can Learn From This Bundle Strategy

Look for Customers Buying an Outcome, Not Just a Product

The same catalogue often serves very different buying occasions.

Some customers arrive knowing exactly what they need: a replacement, a refill, or one specific item. Others are trying to achieve a result that takes several products working together, and they have to work out the combination themselves.

That second group is where bundling earns its place.

Look for moments where customers are assembling an outcome product by product. If the same items repeatedly appear together to create one experience, there may be an opportunity to make that complete purchase easier to understand and buy.

Keep Functional Products Fixed and Preference Products Customizable

Not every component of a bundle needs the same flexibility.

Some products determine whether the result works. Others are there because the customer has a preference. The distinction is often easy to spot: functional components are the ones a merchant would recommend to anyone buying, while preference components are the ones where the honest answer is "whichever you like," such as colour, flavour, scent, size or style.

Fix the first. Open the second.

This gives the merchant control over whether the outcome succeeds while giving the shopper freedom where choice actually adds something. It also means the bundle does not have to be built as a single rigid package to stay coherent.

The framework will not apply equally to every category. Some bundles are almost entirely preference-led, such as a snack box or candle set, while others offer little meaningful variation at all. The split is most useful when a catalogue contains both functional and preference-led products.

Add the Bundle to the Catalogue You Already Have

A customizable bundle is an additional buying path, not a replacement for one.

The underlying products can continue serving replenishment, standalone purchases and customers who know precisely what they want. The bundle simply offers another way to assemble those same products for a different occasion.

Easy Bundle Builder can populate customizable sections from individual products or from Shopify inventory. For merchants with changing assortments, that matters. New products can enter the bundle through normal merchandising rather than requiring the bundle itself to be rebuilt.

Instead of restructuring a catalogue around every possible combination, a merchant can add a new purchasing experience over the catalogue that already exists.

Put the Bundle Where the Buying Problem Happens

Where a bundle lives should follow what the customer needs before they are ready to build it.

If customers already understand the category and mainly need an easier way to buy the complete set, a product-page bundle fits naturally into collections, search and regular browsing. It meets them where they already are.

If customers first need to understand which products belong together, or why, a dedicated landing page gives more room for explanation, comparison and guidance.

The placement is a decision about the customer's starting knowledge, not about where the bundle looks best.

What to Measure Once the Bundle Is Live

Easy Bundle Builder surfaces several metrics that show how a bundle is performing:

  • Bundle revenue and its share of store revenue
  • Bundle AOV compared with non-bundle AOV
  • Bundle conversion compared with overall store conversion
  • Performance across different bundle types
  • Average units selected within an individual bundle

For a customizable bundle, average units selected is particularly useful. It shows whether shoppers are using the flexibility to expand their purchase beyond the starting configuration, which helps merchants understand how customers are actually using the customizable experience.

Together, these metrics answer more useful questions than revenue alone. Are customers building larger orders? How significant are bundles becoming within the store? Which use cases are customers responding to most strongly?

Conclusion

The brand did not need a large bundle programme to make bundling matter. It needed one bundle that matched how customers actually shop.

The system kit works because its structure mirrors the product. The parts of the manicure that determine whether it performs stay together. The part governed by taste stays open. A customer assembling the routine for the first time gets a complete starting point; a customer who knows exactly what they want can still buy a single bottle from the same catalogue.

That second buying path has generated more than $7.7 million across 80,000+ bundle orders, and in July 2026 the system kit alone accounted for nearly 60% of bundle revenue.
