MyCashflow's product bundles allow you to offer several products for sale as one combined package at a different price than the total of its individual products (for instance, a baseball bat, a ball, and a glove at the price of 60 €).
Product bundles can be managed in the product card's Product bundles tab. This is where you can create new product bundles and view all product bundles that the product belongs to.
Creating and editing product bundles
Product bundles can be created and edited in the product card's Product bundles tab. A product bundle can be edited in the product cards for all products it contains.
After the product bundle has been published, your customers will be able to purchase it from your online store. Make sure you test that the product bundle looks and works the way you wanted.
Adding products to product bundles
Products can be added only to product bundles that haven't been published yet. If you need to add products to a product bundle that has already been published, delete the bundle and create a new one.
Removing products from product bundles
Products can be removed only from those product bundles that haven't yet been published. If you'd like to remove products from an already-published product bundle, delete the entire package and create a new one.
If you remove a product from a product bundle, the product bundle will no longer be displayed on that product's product card in the admin panel. In such a case, the product bundle will remain visible in the Product bundles tab of these bundle products that haven't been removed.
Setting prices for product bundles
By default, the product bundle's price is the total of all bundle products' prices. However, you can also set a different price for the bundle after you've added all the relevant products to the bundle.
Product bundles and discounts
When the customer purchases a product bundle in your online store, the price of the bundle products is based on the bundle's price. Potential campaign discounts don't apply to bundle products.
If the customer enters a discount coupon at the checkout, the products will be priced according to the greater discount: if the products' total price is smaller with the discount coupon, the price will be defined according to the discount coupon, and the product bundle price will be disabled.
Here's how to price a product bundle:
Product bundle availability
Product bundle availability depends upon the availability periods and stock settings for its products.
- Limited availability: If the availability period for any of the bundle products hasn't yet begun, the product bundle will be visible in your online store, but customers won't be able to purchase it.
- Stock balance: The stock balance of a product bundle is based on the stock balances of products included in the bundle. The stock balance is always the smallest possible number. For example:
If the product bundle contains a baseball bat (6 in stock) and a helmet (5 in stock), the product bundle's stock balance will be 5 because there aren't enough helmets to form more bundles.
If a bundle product's stock settings say that the product's sale should be discontinued as soon as it runs out of stock, the entire product bundle will become unavailable until the product is back in stock.
- Delivery time: The temporary shipping time is set to the product bundle only in the following cases:
- the temporary shipping time has been set to only one of the bundle products or
- all bundle products have the same shipping time
Product bundles in the customer area
In the default theme, product bundles are listed on the pages of all products that belong to the product bundle. Each product bundle also has a separate page with links to all bundle products.
The product images for each product/variation are displayed on the product bundle page. If you'd like a particular variation image to be displayed on the product bundle's page, enter the variation's name as the caption of the product image. See detailed instructions.
Your customers can only profit from the product bundle's discount price if they add the product bundle to the shopping cart. If they add all the bundle products to the shopping cart separately, the discount won't be applied.
Currently, product bundles do not support customizable products. So if one of the bundle products has customization options, your customers won't be able to use them when purchasing the product bundle.
Product bundles in orders
When the customer orders a product bundle, this will be displayed in the shopping cart and at the checkout as a single product row with the product bundle's selling price and the initial total price of all bundle products for the sake of comparison.
However, in the admin panel, on the order page as well as in order documents and email notifications, the product bundle's products will be displayed on separate rows.
Deleting product bundles
Editing a product bundles' appearance
Product bundles are displayed by using the theme's product page template or a separate product bundle page template, depending on the theme settings. For detailed instructions on how to implement product bundles, see our designer's guide.
