Bundle + Individual product's = inventory quantity problem

Technical Q&A
1

Hi,

I have products in my store which are sold individually AND bundle. The bundle product is one product.

Product: A (Individual)

Product: B (Individual)

Product C (Individual)

Bundle: Contain products: A, B, and C.

Problem is: When the customer buys Product A (individual) it should decrease the inventory on Bundle -product also - because I have one bundle less for sale.

How have you solved this problem? I have tried Bundles -App, but it doesn’t work - the inventory doesn’t decrease as it should.

We need to create a private app to solve this.

Or does these Apps solve the problem:

Hi

Our app lets you create virtual products that have a number of components but are sold as a normal products. We then convert the order into correct components so inventory is correct.

The additional function is we can also calculate the quantity of bundle based on what components are available.

If you would like to test please get in touch - tom@channelup.io

Hi @Kjankko-US ,

It’s great that you have found a solution! But perhaps consider Bundle Kit as an alternative solution as it also does exactly what you described.

When a customer orders a bundled item (i.e. Product A / B / C), Bundle Kit will automatically decrease the inventory of the bundle product to prevent overselling.

Additionally, Bundle Kit will list out the individual bundled item SKUs in the bundle order for your ease of fulfillment.

You can try the app for free at: https://apps.shopify.com/bundle-kit

Hope this also helps!

Hi @Kjankko-US !

I’m Camila from the Simple Bundlesapp, and I’m happy to tell you that our app does exactly what you’re looking for! :wink:

Simple Bundles uses the lowest product inventory quantities to keep the bundle inventory quantity in sync. This means that to prevent overselling, bundle inventory is calculated based on the number of bundles that can be created using the available child product inventory quantities. If you sell any of the items individually, the bundle will recognize the updates in the inventory to discount the stock available. You can learn more about how we handle the inventory here: Automatically update bundle inventory - Simple Bundles Help Center.
