Create a product bundle that includes that product(s) with one of the Shopify apps that use the native bundle features, like:
Check out the product page / template and try to get colour swatches working
Additional info
A customer just ran into this issue and I have been trying to solve this for them in different ways. In the process, I got curious how others are solving and working around this limitation.
In this forum I only found the following related thread, that is using custom swatch logic because of bundles: Product limit is 50 on custom swatch filter
And this one in the merchant forum:
Of course, it would be great if Shopify would just support it natively in bundles as well, but I wanted to get the input from the community.
Have you run into this?
Is this a problem for you, or is this just not a concern?
Are you using virtual bundles and custom UI from bundles apps instead?
Did you find a solution to the issue? What is it?
With the Maestrooo theme that this client is using, I found 2 different solutions that require minimal changes to the theme, but first wanted to check how you guys are dealing with it before sharing them.

Hey @SimJoSt, thanks for sharing this, you’re right that color swatches aren’t supported on bundle parent products yet, but I’m happy to log a feature request on your behalf for sure.
Would you be open to sharing your use case for this, just out of curiosity? For example, do you need one “primary” swatch for the bundle hero, or per-component swatches so shoppers can configure each item’s color? Are you looking for bundles to appear under color filters on collection pages, and for images to auto-swap when a swatch changes?
If you have examples (outfit builders, skincare sets with shade choices, multi-pack color mixing, etc. ) that would be super helpful, so I can advocate better on my end here for the feature. Hope to hear from you soon!
In this specific case, 3 products are combined into a bundle.
Two of them have a colour variant option, the last one has different models up for selection. So it’s more of a per-component colour swatch that is needed here.
For now, we only focused on the PDP experience and didn’t think about filters on the PLP yet.
But yes, the images should auto-switch based on variant option selection.
The product itself is not yet online, so I cannot share a link yet. If that changes, I will try.
Thanks for the details @SimJoSt that’s helpful info. I’ve logged a feature request for you on this. If you’re able to share a link or screenshots when the product goes live, that would help us validate UX edge cases, and if you’d like, feel free to share the two minimal-change Maestrooo approaches you’ve found here (it might help other folks, especially if people are finding this thread later).
I’ll wait a little bit before I close out this thread just in case you’d like to reach back out. Hope this helps!
No worries, thanks for following up here @SimJoSt . If your minimal-change on the Maestrooo theme approach isn’t working on the PDP, just let me know and I can take a closer look with you again to see if we have any other workarounds.
- wanted to follow up here to see if the above helped/if I can still set up that feature request for you, let me know!
