I want to create a 4-pack that contains one of each variant. Do I need a new product entry?

Technical Q&A
1

Hello,

One of my products is a lip balm that has 4 variants (flavors). They are at $4 each. I want to offer a 4-pack that contains one of each flavor at $12.

I was wondering if I could just add a variant for the 4-pack to the existing product or if I have to create a whole new product listing.

I want to keep track of the inventory, which is where I’m stumped. If I don’t track inventory, then just adding “4-pack” as a variant and setting the price to $12 would work?

Thank you in advance!

Hello @pnut78 ,

There is a need of a quantity break ap for it.

You can try this app

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Either option is possible, but creating a new set product, as in the former option, would be simpler :bird:

Using the free official app, Shopify Bundles, is recommended. It makes the process easy to implement.

Steps to create a bundle with Shopify Bundles:

  1. Install the Shopify Bundles app.

  2. Open the app and click “Create Bundle”

  3. In the creation screen, select the target products and enter the number of items in the set.

  4. Open the details page for the bundle product you created and set the bundle price.

  5. Set the bundle product to Active.
    :memo: The inventory for the bundle product is determined by the stock of the original items (e.g., for a 4-pack product, if you have 10 individual items, you can sell up to 2 sets).

Please give it a try!

Hi @pnut78

In this case, I recommend using the Easify Inventory Sync app to effectively manage your inventory. If you simply add a “4-pack” as a variant and set the price to $12, inventory tracking for individual lip balm flavors won’t work properly.

With Easify Inventory Sync, you can create a bundle group like this:

  • Master Product: 4-pack
  • Component Product:

Lip balm 1 with the Quantity per Bundle set to 1

Lip balm 2 with the Quantity per Bundle set to 1

Lip balm 3 with the Quantity per Bundle set to 1

Lip balm 4 with the Quantity per Bundle set to 1

How does it work?

  • The inventory for 4-pack will be automatically calculated based on the Individual item’s inventory.
  • When 1 pack of 4 lip balms is purchased, the individual items of each lip balms inventory will be reduced by 1 (total is 4)

This way, you can track the remaining stock of both the 4-pack and each individual lip balm accurately without affecting the price setting. I hope this answer helps solve the problem. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to Easify anytime!

Hi, If you would like to create such a bundle and keep track of inventory, I would recommend that you take a look at our Bundler app.

With our “Classic bundle”, which is on our free plan, you could configure a bundle, where your customers have to buy all four variants in order to receive the bundle discount :slightly_smiling_face:
