bundlepricing
The following table describes the capabilities and pricing that bundles can have.
| Pricing | Description | Requires SKU? | Price Book Entry | Capabilities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed | Enables you to assign a fixed price for all the products in a bundle. The bundle can contain items that are available for individual purchase, however, when purchased in a fixed-price bundle, are offered at a discounted price. | Yes | Mandatory | Sale Pricing - defines reduced pricing for the total price of the bundle. Volume Pricing - offers promotional prices for products bought in bulk. Bundle Inventory Management - bundle inventory can be tracked based on the availability of individual items in the bundle. In this case, the maximum number of bundles you can sell is equal to the number of the option that is least available. |
| Cumulative | The price of a bundle can be generated automatically based on the sum of the component products. Each individual product can use its underlying volume, sale, and normal price. Ensure that you set a price for each product within the bundle. If a component product does not have a price, the bundle price cannot be set and customers cannot purchase the bundle. | Optional | Not available when SKU is present | Sale Pricing - define reduced pricing for individual products when purchased as part of the bundle. Each product can have a special sale price that will only be used when the product is brought as part of the bundle. |
Sale Pricing
Fixed Price Bundles
For fixed price bundles, you can set a sale price for the entire bundle. This allows you to offer the bundle at a discounted price compared to the regular bundle price.
Cumulative Price Bundles
For cumulative price bundles, you can set a sale price for an item within a bundle so that the product is sold at the sale price when sold as a part of the bundle. Each individual product can use its underlying volume, sale, and normal price, but you can also set a special sale price that will only be used when the product is brought as part of the bundle.
For example, if you have a bundle consisting of four items, you can apply a discounted price to an item within the bundle to get a bundle sales price. Both list and sale price (or was/is prices) are available in the catalog response, enabling you to display slash pricing on your storefront, depending on your requirements.
| Product | Regular product price | Bundle sales price |
|---|---|---|
| Product A | $100 | $80 |
| Product B | $50 | $50 |
| Product C | $30 | $30 |
| Product D | $130 | $130 |
| Total | $310 | $290 |
Volume Pricing
Fixed Price Bundles
For fixed price bundles, you can configure volume pricing for the entire bundle. You can define the price range for different quantities of the bundle, as explained in the following example.
| Bundle Quantity | Price/Each |
|---|---|
| 1-5 | $10.50 |
| 6-10 | $10.00 |
| 11+ | $9.50 |
Cumulative Price Bundles
For cumulative price bundles, each individual product uses its underlying volume pricing. When a customer adds sufficient quantity of an item and meets the minimum required quantity for different pricing, all products with that item SKU are discounted in the cart. The volume pricing of the individual products is applied when calculating the total price of the bundle.
