What is a bundle?
A bundle product is a package deal you can create if you want to sell two or more items together.
Here are three examples of typical bundles:
- A laser printer paired with extra toner cartridges
- A coffee maker combined with a set of coffee mugs and a milk frother
- A gardening set that includes seeds, gloves, and a trowelÂ
Create a bundle
A bundle can be created in Shopify using the app. The price, the image and define the number of each product to be included in the bundle can be customised.
A bundle requires:
- Using the App Bundle developed by Shopify Fixed lots and multipacks to boost sales| Shopify App Store
- A valid and unique GTIN or EAN. This cannot be the GTIN/EAN of an individual product within the bundle but must be a separate and most likely new GTIN/EAN.
Bundle restrictions
-
Lengow only supports bundles containing single products, meaning products without variations.
Example of a simple photography kit bundle: The bundle includes a camera and a standard tripod.
Example of a variable photography kit bundle: The bundle includes a camera and a tripod with different height options. - Bundles cannot be set to Fulfillment by… (e.g.: FBA, LVB, etc.) because some marketplaces do not support product bundles.
- Bundle products cannot be shipped in separate shipments.
- Lengow is not able to determine which marketplace allows bundles and in what form. It is the merchant's responsibility to inquire with the marketplace.
Export a bundle to the Lengow catalogue
The app automatically exports simple bundles from Shopify when the bundle feature is active.
The bundle is exported to Lengow in the product line format.
For example, a product line named pack saucepan (contains one small and one large saucepan) with an ID, an EAN, a price, etc.
Stock Rules
The stock of bundle products is based on the product of the package with less stock. Thus, the bundle product is defined "out of stock" when one of the product is no longer available.
Price Rules
Price Calculation
The total price of the bundle is the sum of the individual prices of the products included in the bundle.
- Example for a bundle containing:
Product X priced at 10 €
Product Y priced at 10 €
Product V priced at 10 €
The total bundle price is:
10 € (Product X) + 10 € (Product Y) + 10 € (Product V) = 30 €.
Applying a Discount
When a discount is applied to the bundle, the discount amount is distributed proportionally across all the products in the bundle.
- Example: If the merchant applies a 10% discount on the bundle
The discount is calculated as 10% of the bundle price (30 €): 30 € * 10% = 3 € discount.
This discount amount (3 €) is evenly distributed across the products in the bundle:
Product X: 10 € - 1 € = 9 €
Product Y: 10 € - 1 € = 9 €
Product V: 10 € - 1 € = 9 €
So, after applying the 10% discount, each product in the bundle is now priced at 9 €, and the total price of the bundle becomes 27 € (9 € + 9 € + 9 €).
Bundle order import
Bundle orders are automatically synchronised in Shopify as seen in the screenshot below.
