Combos and multibuy deals

For Shop owners & managers · 5 min read · Last reviewed 2026-08-04

“Drink and a snack for a fiver.” Meal deals and multibuys lift the average basket, but only if the till does the maths — not the cashier. A combo bundles items at a set price, applied in one tap. The retail pack even ships one to copy: a Lunch Deal (a cola and a bag of nuts).

Build a reusable combo

A combolists the items it contains and the bundle price. Build one — say a cola plus a snack at a fixed price — and it’s reusable, so a breakfast deal and a lunch deal can sit side by side and a cashier applies either with a tap.

Tip:Start from the seeded Lunch Deal combo. It bundles a cola and mixed nuts below the sum of the two — copy the pattern for your own deals.

Stock still tracks the real items

The combo sets the price, but stock decrements the actual items chosen — the cola and the nuts each come down by one. So your on-hand counts stay accurate even while you sell bundles, and you reorder against real movement, not deal counts.

Frequently asked

Does a combo track stock for each item?
Yes. The combo sets the bundle price, but stock decrements the actual items chosen, so your on-hand counts stay accurate.
Can I run more than one deal at once?
Yes. Combos are reusable, so a breakfast deal and a lunch deal live side by side and the cashier applies the right one with a tap.
How is a combo different from a discount code?
A combo is a fixed-price bundle of specific items. A discount code takes an amount or percentage off an order — see Discounts & promo codes for those.
