How to bundle variant products invisibly on Shopify?

Good morning,

I have a slightly complicated product combo and I was wondering if there is any way for me to solve it on Shopify.

I have a product (let’s say it’s a camera) with 2 different variants (color, size) and need to create a bundle with a sub product (let’s say it’s lenses), which has 2 different variants (color, size).

The customer should NOT see the bundled product nor have the option to select it’s variants. They just see a normal camera to buy.

When the customer selects the variant of the camera (let’s say, a black, size M), it should automatically select the variant of the lenses that go with it (let’s blue lenses, M size).

It’s like the customer doesn’t know that it’s a bundle, it’s only for us internally for the bundled product to be removed from the inventory.

P.S. Someone suggested adding the same SKU to the camera and the lens of the same variant. The problem is that if someone purchases the lenses individually, then it will also decrease the inventory number of the cameras, when in reality no camera was purchased.

I hope there is something we can do!

Hi

In your scenario you can bundle up your variant of Black Size M with another SKU using our bundle app.

The buyer only sees the single product in their cart and cannot edit it.

Once they complete order we update the order lines to the correct component SKUs so you can fulfil as per normal. This also means your inventory will be updated for all components.

We also have the extra option of calculating the inventory level of the bundles based on how much component stock you have. So if you sell out of the additional SKU multiple bundles contain then they will all show as out of stock.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for taking the time to offer a solution.

I am actually experimenting with your app for the past couple of days and it is great. Will continue the conversation with you over email to polish the last details.

Best,
