Can I use bundles for selling unique art prints with customization options?

[covalent]

I plan to sell unique art prints (inventory = 1) that can be customized by size and frame options.
Not sure this is possible with off-the-shelf Shopify variants and options.

But could I use bundles instead?

For example, the artwork itself would have an inventory of 1.

But the various print sizes and frames would all have unlimited inventory.

Then I could combine these elements to create a given bundle.

For example, artwork A, print size B, frame size/style C.

Once artwork A is sold, no other bundles using that work could be ordered.

So, I'd only be managing inventory for the artwork element.

Appreciate any insights!

Hi

This is a common for our users where they have 1 design but it is on multiple products and once sells they want all linked products to become unavailable. Like you already worked out you set your products up:

• Option 1 - Design
• Option 2 - Size
• Option 3 - Frame

As Shopify doesn't have native bundling solution you would need to use an app to map your inventory SKU components to your bundle. You would need to have each design set up as its own SKU but set it to not available to online store.

Our bundle app has 2 main features that would let you manage the design inventory levels. 

1. Inventory Management

Bundleup lets you connect up your bundled product to components and it then updates the inventory based on the component stock level. So when one design stock goes to zero the other bundles will also update to zero. Or the variation that contains the design.

2. Order Fulfilment

When you sell one of the bundles the stock level won't reduce automatically. What Bundleup does is update the order post purchase by replacing the order line with the component SKUs as order lines which then reduces stock. This then feeds into point 1 above where it updates all linked products.

We also offer a bulk csv file upload option so it is quicker to map all variants rather than doing them one by one in admin.

If you need help in setting up and testing please get in touch. You can also find our guide here:

Hi @covalent ,

This can be done using the custom code where the bundle product will have product dependency so that if the product is out of stock bundle products will not load.

Let me know if I can help details are in the post footer.
