Create a Bundle Offer

You can create bundle offers using simple product offers. A bundle refers to a logical grouping of items that can be sold.

Here's a pictorial representation of a bundle offer where a Package is a bundle offer comprising of two bundles called Wireless Service Bundle and Device Bundle. The Wireless Service Bundle comprises of Wireless Service, Call Forwarding, 200 Text Messages Per Month, and Mobile Roadside Assistance. The Device Bundle comprises of simple product offers, Charger and Leather Pouch.

To create a bundle offer, use the product offer guided flow where you specify the offer type as a service bundle, package, or commercial bundle.

When you create a bundle offer of type service, you must associate a product specification which has a primary or an auxiliary service specification associated to it. This helps you instantiate the service associated to the bundle offer at run-time.

For any simple offer of non-service type such as a device or an accessory, you can associate a service specification. You can have multiple service bundles inside a nested service bundle, where each service bundle has a primary association to a service specification. You can't associate a commercial bundle to a product specification.

Here's an example of a service bundle.

You may keep in mind that you can't change the base price of simple product offers from within the bundle offer because bundle product offers are only a collection of simple product offers.
