A Bundle is a product in Shopify that is made up of other products. The Bundle product (the parent product) has Bundle items (child products).

Create a bundle

  1. First create a product in Shopify that represents the bundle. Make sure the product type is Wine, and the price is the price of the bundle.
  2. Open Bloom Commerce and from the dashboard click Products. Then search for your new bundle product and open it.
  3. Click the Bundle tab, then select the products you want in the bundle. 
  4. Each product will display the inventory count for each location, giving you an idea how many bundles can be created. 
  5. Select Quantity for each product, and if you want to set the item price you can, but know this price is only for reporting purposes, allowing you to calculate your COGS for bundle sales.
  6. Save the configuration. Now your bundle product has line items associated with it. 
  7. When an order is placed with a bundle, the line item products are sold so the inventory is decremented. In addition, the bundle product itself is sold, so that inventory is decremented. This keeps all inventory in sync. 

 

When orders include Bundle products, the child products will have an inventory status of "Unavailable".  This is the status we use to "reserve" the Bundle items while orders are Unfulfilled, so they can't be sold.
