Ran into this on a client's fixed bundle setup this week: the bundle discount showed correctly on desktop, then recalculated wrong the moment a customer swapped in a variant that already had its own compare-at price set.
Most bundle apps price off the base variant price, not the live/effective price, so a product that is already on sale inside a bundle gets double-discounted or under-discounted depending on rounding. Customer sees one total at checkout, does math in their head, and doesn't trust the cart.
Fix was simple once we found it: strip compare-at-price from any variant that goes into a fixed bundle and let the bundle app own the discount math end to end, nothing layered on top. We build on Sleek Bundles Upsell (ours) for exactly this reason, it reads the live variant price rather than the compare-at field.
If you run bundles, worth a 2 minute check: add a product that already has its own sale price into a bundle and see what total you land on.

Multi-tier pricing that updates live as you add pairs is the hard part to get right in native Liquid, most builds either hardcode the tiers or end up calling an app API on every quantity change. Curious whether the discount math runs client-side off a price map or you're hitting a line-item script/function on the backend for it.
A Shopify homepage has a few seconds to answer one important question:
“Am I in the right place?”
A beautiful design helps, but the homepage also needs to guide the visitor toward the next step.
Here are 5 things I think every Shopify homepage should have:
1. A clear value proposition
Visitors should quickly understand what the brand sells and what makes it relevant to them.
2. A strong hero section
Use compelling imagery, a focused message, and a clear CTA instead of overwhelming visitors with too much information.
3. Easy product discovery
Featured products and collections should help shoppers find what they're looking for without having to search through the entire store.
4. Trust signals
Reviews, shipping information, return policies, guarantees, and secure checkout indicators can answer important questions before someone buys.
5. Clear navigation
Your navigation should make the store easy to explore. Customers shouldn't have to figure out where products or collections are hidden.
The goal isn't to put everything on the homepage.
It's to put the right things in the right order.
Good Shopify design isn't only about how the store looks. It's also about how easily someone can understand it and move through it.
100% agree! A great Shopify homepage is not just about design—it’s about clarity, trust, and guiding customers to the right next step. 👏
This project was an instant yes!
I got to work with the dreamiest new brand and photography to translate into a more editorial Shopify experience for a beauty subscription brand. Even better, the new site helped increase subscriptions and hit the brand's goal after launch. ✨ Check it out.
So cool!
