I sell lighting units and my My product consists of several components. i need a bundled feature, not for the buyer to chose variants , but just for me to check that all components in that product bundle are in stock when the buyer is placing an order.
for example, i am selling a table lamp that consists of a glass sphere, bulb , and a marble base. The glass spheres are also used in other products such as the floor lamps and ceiling lamps. So when the buyer is placing an order of a table lamp, i need to make sure that its components are in stock. (We assemble upon placed order )
The user is just selecting 1 stand alone product, (table lamp) and I need an app that would read if the components of this table lamp are in stock.
Anyone knows of an app that can help me check on all components being in stock ?
You can set this up using our bundle app. Each bundles components are managed in the background and update by two main features:
1. Bundle Inventory
Bundleup lets you connect up your bundled product to components and it then updates the inventory based on the component stock level. So when a component inventory changes all bundles that contain the product also update.
2. Component Inventory
When you sell one of the bundles the stock level of components 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 as per point 1 above.
In your scenario you may not need the second option if you are updating the component stock inventory say through an ERP program.
