How can I manage inventory for bundled products efficiently?

Hello, I need some help with keeping stock.

So if I have two products for example shirt and pants and I want to sell them separately but also together as a special offer, how can I accurately keep stock? Let’s say I have 100 pieces of each item. For now I just manually did it, put 30 available for each item and has some backup, but with many products that are included in more special offers this is really hard to count and time consuming. Is there a way I can set this so if I have 100 shirts and someone buys a shirt on its own or in a special offer the stock is 99 anyway. So when I run out of shirts I also can’t be selling the special offer anymore because one of the two products is sold out. I hope I didn’t complicate this too much and someone can help me :slightly_smiling_face:

I am using debut theme.

Hello, @Lucija

There are scripts written to manage this for bundles/combos. They basically, upon sale, recalculate the remaining inventory by removing the constituent parts of a combo from the inventory. If you don’t wish to make one from start, here’s one that can help:
