How to create product bundles on the Empire theme (checkout-safe)

Empire, by Pixel Union, is a bold premium Shopify theme built for big catalogs and high-volume brands. Its whole design language is promotional — large hero sections, sale badges, punchy merchandising — which makes a prominent quantity offer feel completely at home. This guide shows how to create product bundles on the Empire theme so they match that bold style and stay checkout-safe: the price shown on the page is the price charged.

Two ways to bundle on Empire

Shopify’s native Bundles app packages different products into one fixed purchase — a kit or a set. It’s free and checkout-safe, but rigid: fixed contents, its own product page, and no quantity logic like “buy 2, get 1 free.”

A product-page bundle widget shows quantity offers — BOGO, 3-for-2, tiered volume pricing — directly on the existing product page, which suits Empire’s promo-led pages far better. That’s what the free Profit Flow AOV Bundle adds: a bold offer that lifts AOV across a large catalog without building new pages.

Adding the offer block on Empire

Empire is a section-rich premium theme, so no Liquid editing is required.

1. Install Profit Flow AOV Bundle from the Shopify App Store.
2. Open the Empire theme editor and choose a product template.
3. In the main product section, select Add block and add the app block.
4. Place it prominently, near the price or Add-to-cart button, so it reads as part of Empire’s promotional design.
5. Configure your deal — a bold BOGO, 3-for-2, or a tiered volume discount for big-catalog ranges.

One caution specific to Empire: because the theme is promo-heavy, it may already display sale badges or its own upsell blocks on the product page. Disable any overlapping native promo so a shopper sees a single clear bundle rather than two competing offers. Duplicate offers confuse buyers and quietly undercut each other.

Keep it checkout-safe

Bold promos only help if the price holds. If a bundle lives only in storefront JavaScript, a shopper who edits the cart, refreshes, or arrives via a direct link can be charged the wrong amount — or handed a “free” unit that should have been paid for.

Profit Flow enforces every offer with a Shopify Function, the same server-side discount engine Shopify uses for its own promotions. The math is recalculated at checkout, so it can’t be bypassed. What the shopper sees is what they pay — no reconciliation, no support tickets.

Wrapping up

Empire is designed to sell hard, and a checkout-safe bundle fits that instinct perfectly — as long as you retire the overlapping native promo first. Add the block, make it prominent, and let the Function guarantee the price. For the wider view, see our hub on how to create product bundles on Shopify.
