A SKU bundle is a single SKU that is composed of several other SKUs. SKU bundles allow a group of items to be purchased as a single item but treated as multiple items in order fulfillment. The SKUs that make up a bundle are always the same; a shopper cannot customize a SKU bundle. For example, a gift basket created as a SKU bundle always contains the same items; shoppers cannot choose the contents of the gift basket.
SKUs in a bundle can be sold exclusively in the bundle, but you can also sell them individually.
Commerce Cloud automatically sets the inventory for a SKU bundle based on available inventory of the SKUs the bundle contains. For example, suppose a SKU bundle (SKU C) contains 1 of SKU A and 2 of SKU B. There are 20 of SKU A and 10 of SKU B in stock. Therefore, SKU C’s (the bundle’s) stock is 5 because that is how many bundles could successfully be purchased given the current inventory of SKU A and SKU B. See Manage inventory for more information.
Creating a SKU bundle is a three-step process:
Create the SKU that will serve as the bundle.
Add SKUs to the bundle.
Specify how many of each SKU the bundle contains.
The procedures that follow describe each of these steps in detail.
To create the SKU that serves as the bundle:
Create a product that will include the SKU bundles. See Create and edit products for more information.
Since SKU bundles cannot be customized by shoppers, you might want to create a product that contains a number of similar SKU bundles to offer shoppers choice. For example, suppose you want to bundle a variety of scented votive candles into different combinations of three. In this case, create a product called Votive Packs.
In the new product, create the SKUs that will serve as the bundles See Create SKUs for more information.
Continuing with the votive candle example, create a SKU for each combination of scents you want to sell.
To add SKUs to a SKU bundle:
Select a SKU and click the Bundled SKUs tab.
Click the Include SKUs button.
Select one or more SKU IDs from the list. You can filter the list by typing or pasting all or part of a SKU ID in the SKUs box.
Click Add Selected.
Click Done when you finish adding SKUs.
To specify the number of each SKU that the bundle will contain:
On the Bundled SKUs tab, click the quantity for the SKU you want to edit.
Enter a new value and click the Save icon.
Click the Save button on the SKU tab when you finish updating quantities.
