Bundles can be modified to add or remove included items, adjust discount percentage, or edit
assets and/or description.
<h2 class="bb_subsection"><a name="8"></a>Adding items</h2>
If you add items to an existing Complete The Set bundle, then customers that have already
purchased the bundle may do so again to purchase just the new items for the discount
percentage. This can be a great way to encourage your best fans to get every item of your
DLC or every title in your franchise.
<h2 class="bb_subsection"><a name="9"></a>Removing items</h2>
You can also remove items from an existing bundle at any time as long as at least two items
remain in the bundle. Removing a package from a bundle does not impact existing customers of
a bundle and will only affect what packages will be purchased by customers from that point
forward.
<h2 class="bb_section"><a name="visibility"></a>Bundle Visibility</h2>
Bundles will appear on product store pages just like other purchase options for the game.
They can also be found by using the store search field. Each bundle has its own detail page,
which can optionally include branding images and a written description.

<h2 class="bb_section"><a name="11"></a>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<ul class="bb_ul">
<li>
<strong>Q. Is there a limit on how many Steam Bundles can contain a product?</strong
><br />
A. You can create as many bundles as you wish that contain a product, but the
product store page may only show a maximum of three bundles that contain that
product. The store page will show the top selling bundles based on revenue.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong
>Q. What are the rules for which products I can add to a Steam Bundle?</strong
><br />
A. You can add any game, software, or video that you have the "Manage pricing and
discounts" permission for. To edit a bundle, you also need to have one of the
following permissions on each app included in the bundle: Edit App Metadata, Edit
App Marketing Data, Publish App Changes To Steam.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong
>Q. Can I create a Steam Bundle with games that I do not have publishing rights
for?</strong

feature.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong
>Q. Can I change the display order of the packages included in the
bundle?</strong
><br />
A. Yes, you can drag and drop the order of the packages in your bundle to change the
order in which they are displayed on the bundle store page.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Q. Can Steam Bundles be refunded?</strong><br />
A. Yes, the individual parts of that bundle may be refunded following the same
refund rules for the type of content purchased (game, dlc, movie).<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong
>Q. Can I discount a Steam Bundle for a limited time or schedule a discount for
a bundle?</strong
><br />
A. A bundle has a set percentage that will be discounted off the calculated price of
each contained item. The bundle itself cannot be discounted for a limited time, but
will adjust in price based on the discounts applied to the contents of a bundle.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Q. How often can I adjust the contents of a Bundle?</strong><br />
A. You can add and remove items from your bundle when you need to. But you probably
don't need to do this very often aside from adding new products that you've
released.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Q. Is there a limit to how deeply I can discount a Bundle?</strong><br />
A. You can set a bundle to discount up to 75% off the contained items. However, if
the average price of products in your bundle falls below the minimum transaction
threshold, the bundle will not appear to customers and cannot be purchased. See
<a href="#visibilitylimits" class="bb_doclink">Bundle Visibility</a> above for
details.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Q. Can Steam Bundles be purchased as a gift for a friend?</strong><br />
A. Steam Bundles configured as "Complete The Set" can only be purchased for your own
account. Steam Bundles configured as "Must Purchase Together" may be purchased as a
gift for a friend.<br />
<br />
in each currency ($0.49 USD adjusted for each currency). For any country where the
average price of the items in the bundle falls below this minimum, the bundle will
become unavailable. <br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Q. Can I request keys for a Steam Bundle?</strong><br />
A. Steam Bundles do not have the ability to have keys associated with them. If you
need keys that grant users multiple products, you'll need to use a key-only package
for those contents. Please contact Valve if you need that package created.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li>
<strong>Q. Where can I track unit and revenue sales for my bundles?</strong><br />
A. The revenue and units for sales of a bundle are currently just included in the
sales indicated for each individual product sold (by package). So if Game A and Game
B were sold together in a bundle, the sale would appear as 1 unit of Game A and 1
unit of Game B. The CSV from the Sales &amp; Activations Reports portal will also
indicate if a package sale was recorded as being sold in a bundle.
<strong>For must-purchase-together bundles</strong>, the total cost of the bundle
must be at least $0.58 USD
