bundlepricing

Bundles can have:

  • Fixed pricing - enables you to assign a fixed price for all products in a bundle.
  • Automatic/cumulative pricing - the price of a bundle is generated automatically based on the sum of the component products.

The following table describes the capabilities and pricing that bundles can have.

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.

If a component product does not have a price, the bundle price cannot be set and customers cannot purchase the bundle.OptionalNot available when SKU is presentSale Pricing - define reduced pricing for the total price of the bundle.

Examples of Bundles

The following table describes some examples of bundles.

Bundle TypePricingDescription

For example, Playtend Games has a bundle that consists of a game console, the Playtend Invaders Game, and the Invaders Controller, and the bundle is available for purchase at $500. The individual price of the products in the bundle are $500 for the game console, $50 for the Playtend Invaders Game, and $75 for the Invaders Controller. This makes the total of the products $625 when bought individually. The price of the bundle is defined in the price books associated with the bundle SKU and the sale price depends on the pricing configuration for the SKU.

Sale Pricing

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. 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.

ProductRegular product priceBundle sales price
Product A$100$80
Product B$50$50
Product C$30$30
Product D$130$130
Total$310$290

Volume Pricing

You can configure volume pricing for minimum quantities of products. 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. You can define the price range for different quantities of different items, as explained in the following example.

QuantityPrice/Each
1-5$10.50
6-10$10.00
11-20$9.50
21-50$8.50
