Hey, you! Welcome back! I've gotten a few questions about how Poshmark Bundles work, so I've written a post that shares the 411 on Poshmark Bundling: How to bundle on Poshmark, why you should bundle on Poshmark, and of course, success tips! Keep on reading for the deets.
What Is A Bundle On Poshmark?
There are so many awesome features on Poshmark, and one of them is the bundle feature. Bundles are easy ways for buyers to purchase more than one item from a Poshmark closet with a set (or personalized) discount and only pay shipping fees once!
Why Users Bundle?
Buyers wanna get a good deal. Have you ever browsed someone's Posh closet and "liked" several items but not been sold on the sale because of the price? Wouldn't it be cool to find more than one item you love from another user's closet and get a deal for purchasing them both? And only pay shipping fees once? Bundling is just that.
How To Bundle?
There are two ways that a seller can bundle, and similarly, two ways that a buyer can bundle.
If you are a seller:
Setting Bundle Discounts:
As a seller, you can choose how much (if any) of a discount you want to offer buyers that want to buy more than one item of yours. You can easily change this percentage or turn it off at any time through your settings.
How To Set Up Your Own Poshmark Bundle Discount:
- Open the Poshmark app
- Go to the bottom right and click your username
- Scroll nearly to the bottom to "My Seller Tools"
- Select "My Seller Discount"
Once you are successfully on this page you can choose the:
a. "Bundle Discount on my listings"
Toggle the button to turn your Poshmark Bundle Discount "on" (green button) and "off" (grey button)
b. "Discount Percentage"
Choose your Poshmark Bundle discount percentage. This can be anywhere from 5% to 30% off. Up to you!
c. "Minimum Items"
Select the minimum number of items a potential buyer has to "bundle" in order to qualify for a discount. i.e. 2,3,4 or 5!
What This Means:
You will notice that below these options it says, "Your bundle discount will be automatically applied at checkout to eligible bundle purchases from your listings – Closet or Boutique. Any change to the discount will not apply to completed bundle orders."
This means that if you have the Poshmark Bundle feature enabled/turned on, any Poshmark user that adds x (your selected minimum amount of items) to their bundle order will receive your selected x % discount automatically.
i.e. Your set Poshmark Bundle discount percentage is 25% off any order of two or more items. A buyer comes to your Poshmark closet, "likes" two items and adds them both to their bundle. The buyer can purchase these two bundled items and automatically receive a 25% off discount.
POSHMARK PRO TIP: An important thing to remember about Poshmark bundles, is that the discount/percent off you choose to give buyers will come from YOUR pocket. So, if you give a 20% discount that means 20% off will be coming from the earnings you will be receiving. Keep this in mind to make reasonable discounts for not only your buyer but for you too! If you are trying to earn maximum profit, this is important to factor into your "fees."
How To Personalize Special/Private Bundle Discount Offers:
When you get the notification that a potential buyer has added an item (or items) in your Poshmark closet to a bundle, you can send them a "personalized/special" bundle discount offer. To do this you:
- Click "View Bundle" either from the notification directly, or the "My Bundles" tab
- Hit "Offer" on the bottom right corner
- Select the discount you would like to give this customer for the items in their bundle
- Wait for them to accept, counter or deny! Hopefully, they click accept! : )
If you are a buyer:
You can receive an automatic discount while shopping if that seller has their Poshmark Bundle feature toggled "on," and you've added items to a bundle. Or, you can add single or multiple items to a bundle to try and receive a special discount. Here's how:
Automatically Receiving a Poshmark Bundle Discount
When shopping in a fellow Poshmark user's closet, you can view their bundle discount by:
- Selecting any item in their closet
- Scroll down to the "Shipping/Discount" section
- If a Poshmark seller offers a Bundle Discount, this will be listed here as "Seller Discount." It will then tell you the % off and how many items you need to have in your bundle to qualify for that discount.
If the Poshmark user's closet you're shopping in offers a bundle discount, you're in luck! To get it:
- Go ahead and shop until you've found everything you want to purchase.
- Select each individual item you want to purchase and scroll down to select the "Add to Bundle" button
- Repeat step 2 until all of the items you want to buy are included in your bundle.
- Once you've added enough items to qualify for that Poshmark seller's bundle discount you can either:
- Hit the blue "Buy Now" button to purchase everything at the set bundle discount. You will see on that same bottom line the discount you are automatically receiving. It will have a total purchase price of $xx amount (xx number of items in your bundle) and then the Seller Discount -$xx amount.
I.e. If the Poshmark seller's automatic bundle discount is set to 10% off 2 or more items it would look like: ($18 [2 items] with Seller Discount: -$2.00 instead of the $20 it would have originally been)
– Each item is $10 and your original total is $20 with no discounts
– Once added to the described bundle discount above, your new total will be $18 - You can hit the "Offer" button to ask for an even more discounted price than their set bundle deal. This can be a total success or a negotiation with the seller. But hey, when I've offered a reasonable amount instead of their automatic discount, the offer was accepted!
- Hit the blue "Buy Now" button to purchase everything at the set bundle discount. You will see on that same bottom line the discount you are automatically receiving. It will have a total purchase price of $xx amount (xx number of items in your bundle) and then the Seller Discount -$xx amount.
Why Add Single or Multiple Items To A Poshmark Bundle?
You should do this method when either:
a. You want to purchase a single item from a Poshmark seller's closet (as the automatic bundle discount is not yet available for just one singular item)
b. You want to buy multiple items from one seller's closet and receive a discount when the seller doesn't offer one. Or, you want to purchase multiple items without paying more than once for shipping fees.
To do this:
- Select each item you want to buy
- Hit "Add to Bundle" button until all items are accounted for
- Tap "Make an Offer" to ask your price!
How To Accept A Poshmark Bundle Offer
Once a bundle has been made by any of the above and you want to accept this price (as either the seller or the buyer), you will click the "Buy Now" or "Accept Offer" button on the bottom right. You will then proceed as normal *as a successful Poshmark user* and beautifully package your buyer's goodies, or wait to receive yours in the mail!
Why Should You Offer Poshmark Bundle Discounts
If you've gotten this far, you might be wondering why you should offer Poshmark bundle discounts. It's because being a reasonable seller is everything! If a Poshmark buyer is on the fence about buying one or more items from your closet, but it's contingent on you giving them a small discount, wouldn't you want to offer that and make a sale? I would!
By offering bundle discounts to buyers, this helps sway a buyer to purchase them from you, instead of another Poshmark seller who offers a deal. It doesn't have to be monumentally discounted, even just 5% to 10% can make a difference for users. I mean, who doesn't love receiving a discount?! And not paying more in shipping fees than you already have to!
**POSHMARK PRO TIPS**:
What To Do When A Buyers Adds Items To A Bundle
When a fellow Poshmark user adds an item or several to a bundle, go engage with them right away! Click on their bundle and send an offer! I've found that when a user is looking to purchase, they will be very actively trying to let you know by "shopping" around in your closet.
*MAKE A BUNDLE DISCOUNT SIGN*
This pro tip right here ^ has been my most successful strategy when offering a Poshmark bundle discount!
A bundle sign is essentially a beautiful image *ideally kept at the top of your Poshmark closet* that you can create to visually tell buyers that your closet is ready to sell, and you are willing to negotiate on prices! You can easily create a bundle discount sign for free in Canva. This sign will be added to your closet like a regular item, except it will not be for sale.
Picture This: If a user is going through your Poshmark closet and "liking" an item or (perhaps lots of items) but not adding them to a bundle, wouldn't you want to let them know you're open to offers? I do! You're trying to sell your clothes, not keep them, and this can seriously speed up the process.
*Be sure to do this politely and in an acceptable manner, don't just spam them with this sign repeatedly, or when they are not looking to purchase anything!*
HOW TO CREATE A BUNDLE DISCOUNT SIGN
Once you're in a free design creator, decide what kind of message you what to get across to your buyer. Is it that you are open to offers of any kind? You are hosting a weekend flash-sale for 50% off? New buyers get free shipping?
It can be any of the above and more, but these are just some examples to get your ideas flowing!
Make the sign something bold and visually appealing – it's all about how your market it! I've shared an example below!
When you've finished creating the sign, go ahead and download/save it to your device. From there, upload it to your Poshmark closet as you would a normal item, except be sure to select NOT for sale when creating the listing.
Re-share the sign often to be sure it is kept at the top (or at least the first three rows) of your closet. You spent all the time creating the offer sign, so you want to ensure your buyers see it almost immediately when clicking on your Poshmark closet.
What's that? Oh hello there, sale!
SHARE THE BUNDLE DISCOUNT SIGN
Share, share and share some more! If you see a user engaging with your items by liking them over and over again, or by liking the same sizes of similar items, it's likely the user is finding what items they want to purchase from your closet.
If you feel confident enough and that it's warranted you share your sign (don't be spammy with it!), then go ahead and do so! You can share the bundle discount sign you created to another user's likes by:
- Clicking on your bundle discount sign
- Hitting "Share Listing"
- Selecting the "Search" button and typing in that specific potential buyer's username. This will share the sign you created directly into their closet.
This can work for many different reasons:
- The buyer is new to Poshmark and does not know that the bundle discount feature exists. This gentle sign could be a nudge and "approval" for the user to submit an offer to you.
- The buyer wants to see what kind of discount you are willing to offer them. This helps them get a good idea if that desired item is within their budget, or if they feel you are approachable to negotiate a bit on the price.
I myself have personally purchased an item from a user who offered me a bundle discount without me asking. This automatically showed me that the seller was willing to negotiate the price. I ended up offering about $5 less than their original offer, and they accepted! I still own this cute (and v complemented) B-Low The Belt and Steve Madden sandals to this day! ✩
