What is Frequently Bought Together CBB?

Frequently Bought Together is a product-bundle and recommendation app built to bring Amazon-style "bought together" widgets to a Shopify product page, combining AI-driven, manual and global recommendation rules. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and shows a 4.9/5 rating on 1,111 reviews. It's developed by Code Black Belt, based in Spain, and has been on the Shopify App Store since March 2017.

How does the app work on a Shopify store?

Merchants configure bundles either manually, by global preset, or through the app's automatic recommendation engine, letting shoppers add complementary products to their cart in one click directly from the product page. Four discount types are available (percentage, fixed, free item, or free shipping), and the widget pulls in star ratings from review apps like Judge.me, Loox or Yotpo for social proof. It covers 9 languages, including French, German and Spanish.

Why choose Frequently Bought Together over another bundle app?

Nearly a decade on the Shopify App Store, combined with over 1,100 reviews, gives it one of the longest and most tested track records in this category. The combination of AI-driven and fully manual bundle rules in the same tool offers more flexibility than apps that force one approach or the other. One review describes a billing dispute after the app was installed by a third party without direct merchant action, which the developer responded to and offered to help resolve, a good reminder to check exactly who has installed access to a store's app list, regardless of which app is involved.

What are the 3 main features of the app?

  1. AI, manual and global bundle recommendations in a single widget.
  2. Four discount types: percentage, fixed, free item, or free shipping.
  3. Built-in social proof pulling star ratings from major review apps.
