How to sell a bundle off two products, and make the inventory go down?

Hello 

We sell wine in our store. We are selling two wines in a bundle.

Every time we sell this bundle the bundle storage goes 1 down, but the two individually products don't go down in storage.

How do we fix this?

Hii if you sell two wines as a one bundle product you can't manage separate inventory. you need to take them as a separate product. You can take one wine and then fetch another product on the same product page as the bundle and when you add to the cart or buy that one wine product the other product will be added to the cart so then you will be able to manage two individual products go down in storage.
Hope you get it. if you need any further help let me know. I have implemented the same.
Thank You!

Hello,


thanks for your reply.

We have made the bundle into a seperate product. But how do we make the two wines in the bundle go down in storage when we sell?

Hii
No don't make the bundle as a separate product, you need to keep those products separate and on one wine product page, you just need to fetch the second wine product so they will be both separate products but can be brought together as a bundle and will go down in storage both the products.
Hope you get the idea. 
can you share a screenshot or website link so I can get an idea of how you implemented it?
Thank you!

Im not sure what you mean, sorry.

We sell this bundle to a special discount. We combine in this bundle two of our wines to a special price called "autumn box". When we sell a autumn box, the autumn box goes one down in storage. But the two seperate wines which is included in the bundle and is also sold seperate is not going down in storage. How do we solve that?

Hi

 

As Shopify doesn't have a native bundling solution you can use a bundling app to map the wine bundles against the single products. If the packs are preset as in a normal product then you can use a backend driven app like bundleup. There are 2 main function of our app:

 

1. Inventory Management

Our app lets you connect up products to correct SKUs and we then update their inventory based on the component stock level. So in your example if you have 2 different SKUs as part of your wine bundle then the stock availability will be dependent on how many you can make up from the individual wine stock levels.

 

2. Order Fulfilment

When you sell one of the bundles the individual stock levels won't reduce automatically as you know. What our app does is update the order post purchase by replacing the order line with the Single SKUs as order lines which then reduces their stock. This then feeds into point 1 above where it updates all linked bundles.

 

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

Hi @pf2022 

 

This is Jun from Bundle Kit

 

Our app is able to meet your needs as it is primarily a bundle inventory management system so it will also be able to track the SKUs for variants of each product.

 

The bundle inventory is automatically set based on the available inventories of the bundle item(s), including the inventories of the variants. Proper quantity will also be taken out of the inventory of each bundle that is being purchased.

 

You can create bundles using our app. We have step-by-step instructions here: https://help.bundlekit.io/creating-a-multi-pack-bundle

 

Let us know if you have any questions. 

Bundle Kit enables businesses to easily build product kits, sync inventory of bundle and bundled products sold, and fulfill bundle orders.

Hi @pf2022, if you haven't yet found a solution, you can try Simple Bundles. You can create a bundle and then add the two wines to the bundle. When a customer purchases a bundle and the order is created, the two wines are added to the order which decreases the inventory for both products. The bundle inventory is then recalculated based on its contents so you won't have to worry about overselling. 

Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any questions! 😄
