Multiples / Variants - Products

Topic summary

Inventory management for a single product sold in quantity variants (1, 3, 6, 12) with 5,000 total units. The merchant’s current setup makes only the “1” variant hold stock, leaving others out of stock; splitting inventory across variants was suggested externally but seen as impractical.

Recommended approaches:

  • Use a bundle app to link all quantity variants to one shared inventory. This keeps a single stock count while allowing 1/3/6/12 options.
  • Alternatively, keep one product with a quantity selector and apply automatic discounts based on quantity, supported by clear on-page promotion.

App suggestions and specifics:

  • General confirmation that bundle apps typically handle this use case.
  • Promotions for specific apps: Profit Bundles; Easify Inventory Sync explains using the “1” variant as the base and grouping it with 3/6/12 so derived availability (e.g., 1666/833/416) updates automatically as any variant sells.

Status: No confirmed implementation yet. OP asked if their current “Bundles” app suffices; replies indicate it likely does, but no final resolution. An attached image is promotional and not essential.
