If someone is already buying from you, getting them to add a second item costs almost nothing extra in time or shipping. Depop’s bundle discount feature makes that nudge automatic. This guide covers how the feature works, how to configure it, how to set up combined shipping, and how to build a shop buyers actually want to browse deeper.
How Depop Bundles Actually Work
When a buyer adds two or more items from your shop to their cart, Depop can apply a discount you define in advance. The buyer sees the reduced total at checkout without needing to message you. You do not have to manually accept each bundle request.
Depop’s bundle discount is percentage-based. You set a single discount rate that applies to every multi-item order, regardless of how many items are included. There is no tiered threshold system (buy 2 get 10%, buy 3 get 15%) built into the platform natively. Your discount rate applies the moment a second item hits the cart.
The feature is entirely opt-in. Buyers can still message you to negotiate a bundle outside of it, but enabling the automatic discount removes friction and catches buyers who would never bother sending a message.
Setting Up Your Bundle Discount on Depop
The setting lives inside your seller profile, not on individual listings. Here is where to find it on desktop and mobile:
On the app:
- Tap the profile icon, then the menu icon (top right).
- Go to Seller Tools, then Bundle Discount.
- Toggle it on and enter your preferred percentage.
On desktop (depop.com):
- Click your profile picture, then go to Settings.
- Select Selling, then Bundle Discount.
- Enter the percentage and save.
The discount percentage shows up on your shop profile page so buyers see it before they even look at your listings. That visibility is part of what makes bundles convert.
Choosing your discount rate. Most active sellers land between 10% and 20%. Lower than 10% is rarely compelling enough to change buying behavior. Higher than 25% starts to compress margins on lower-priced items. A 15% discount is a reasonable starting point if you price with that in mind.
Price your items before you enable the feature. If your individual listing prices are already thin, a 15% discount can turn a small profit into a loss after Depop’s selling fee. Build the expected bundle discount into your price floors.
Combined Shipping: How It Works and What to Say
Depop does not have an automatic combined shipping calculator the way eBay does. If you use Depop-generated shipping labels, the actual postage on a bundle order will often cost less than two separate shipments. That saving goes to you unless you proactively offer it.
A practical approach:
- If a buyer purchases a bundle and the combined weight still qualifies for a lower shipping tier, you can refund the difference after the sale.
- Alternatively, adjust your shipping price on heavier or bulkier items so the blended rate across a bundle feels reasonable to buyers.
The simplest message to put in your shop bio or listing description: "Bundle 2+ items for [X]% off. Combined shipping on all orders." That one sentence sets expectations and prompts buyers to look for a second item.
Merchandising Your Shop So Buyers Add More
The bundle discount is only as effective as your shop’s browsability. A buyer who opens one listing and then leaves never reaches the cart. The goal is to give them reasons to keep scrolling.
Build a coherent shop identity. Buyers are more likely to add items when your shop feels like a curated selection rather than a random collection. A shop focused on Y2K knitwear, vintage workwear, or 90s streetwear gives buyers a clear reason to browse for a second piece. Read the Depop shop aesthetic guide for a full breakdown of how to position your inventory visually and by category.
Group items that pair naturally. A blazer and matching trousers. A dress and a belt. A graphic tee and a pair of wide-leg jeans. When your listings reference each other ("this matches well with my linen trousers listed separately"), you create deliberate upsell paths. Do this in the description, not just in photos.
Keep your shop active. The Depop algorithm in 2026 rewards recency. Freshly listed and recently active shops appear higher in search and in the Following feed. More visibility means more first-touch visits, which means more bundle opportunities. Listing consistently, even a few items per week, keeps your shop in rotation.
Use hashtags to draw in the right buyer. A buyer who finds you through a highly specific hashtag already knows what they like. If they land on exactly the type of item they search for, there is a better chance other items in your shop match their taste. The Depop hashtags guide covers which tags drive qualified traffic versus broad impressions.
Photograph items together where possible. If you have two pieces that work as an outfit, shoot them together as well as separately. Upload the outfit photo as a secondary image. Buyers who see a styled pairing immediately know what the bundle looks like in practice.
Writing Listings That Support Bundle Sales
Individual listing quality is the entry point to a bundle. A buyer who is not compelled by your title or photos never reaches the cart. Strong SEO titles ensure people find your listings; detailed descriptions build the confidence to buy without messaging first.
For each item, include:
- Brand, style name, size, and condition in the title
- Measurements in the description (chest, length, waist, inseam where relevant)
- Fabric and any flaws disclosed clearly
- A mention of your bundle discount and combined shipping in every description
Writing all of that from scratch for every item is slow. The Depop AI listing generator auto-fills SEO-ready titles, descriptions, and hashtags directly into Depop’s listing form, so you spend your time merchandising and sourcing, not typing.

Pricing Strategy for Bundle-Friendly Shops
Bundle discounts work best when individual item prices are set to absorb them. A few tactics that hold margin while making bundles attractive:
- Price items at the top of what comparables support, then let the bundle discount bring buyers to a price they feel good about.
- Avoid pricing so tightly that a 15% discount creates a loss. Know your floor price per item before you list.
- Treat the bundle discount as a marketing cost, similar to promoted listings, not a pure margin hit. The alternative is a single-item sale at a lower negotiated price anyway.

Go to your profile, open Settings or Seller Tools, and look for the Bundle Discount option. Toggle it on and enter your discount percentage. The discount applies automatically to any order with two or more items from your shop.
Most sellers use 10% to 20%. A 15% discount tends to be compelling without severely compressing margins on lower-priced items. Price your individual listings with the discount factored in before enabling it.
No. Depop does not have a built-in combined shipping calculator. If a buyer bundles items and the combined weight qualifies for a lower shipping rate, the saving goes to you. You can choose to refund the difference or factor blended shipping costs into your listing prices.
Yes. Enabling the automatic bundle discount does not prevent buyers from messaging to negotiate. It simply removes the friction for buyers who would not otherwise reach out.
Yes. The bundle discount is a shop-wide setting. It applies to all items in your Depop shop whenever two or more are purchased together. You cannot set different discount rates for different listings.
It can if your prices are set too thin. The key is to price items high enough to absorb the discount. Think of it as the price a motivated multi-item buyer pays, and price your minimums accordingly.
