Set it up in Supr: a cleanser, serum and moisturiser set at 20% off with a free travel bag
A skincare shop sells a ready-made routine as one set at one price, with a free travel bag on the first order, and the set can also be bought on subscription.
- In Shopify, open Supr Bundle & Subscription App > Offers, click Create offer and choose Bundle (or Bundle + Subscription).
- Under Choose a bundle type, pick the ready-made set (fixed bundle) type and choose the cleanser, serum and moisturiser.
- Set Price to Percentage off at 20.
- Add the travel bag as a free gift on the first order only.
- If the set is on subscription, set a discount that changes after a few orders, or a free or cheaper first order.

Questions
Can I give a free gift on the first order only?
Yes. A gift can be set to apply to the first order only, so it does not ship free on every repeat order.
Can I offer a trial size first and then the full size?
Yes. You can offer a free or cheaper first order, or a starter product followed by its refills.
Can the discount change after the first few orders?
Yes. A subscription discount can change after a set number of orders, for example 10% off the first 3 orders, then 15%.
How do you rank apps for a skincare or beauty store?
By how many of the 10 features that matter most to a skincare or beauty store each app's own public pages document. A feature counts only when the app's pages say it exists, and Not documented means the pages do not say.
