Creating Bundles

With Product Experience Manager, you can create and manage bundles. A bundle is a purchasable product comprising one or more products that you want to sell together.

Before you Begin​

  • Ensure that you have created at least one price book.
  • Ensure that all products that you want to add to the bundle are created with the required details.
  • Ensure any child bundles that you want to add to a parent bundle are created with the required details.
note

A bundle without a SKU must have a minimum quantity of components and options. Either:

  • a single option with a minimum quantity of 2.
  • 2 options, each with a minimum quantity of 1.
caution

Commerce Manager does not sort components and component options. You must program your storefront to sort the components and component products in the order that you want.

Procedure​

The steps below describe how to complete the basic information for a bundle and adding the components and product options that make up a bundle.

  1. Go to Products > Bundles.

  2. Select Create new bundle.

  3. (Optional) Expand Locale drop-down list. The languages you have configured in Store Settings > Locale are displayed first. Custom product locales are displayed underneath. See Configuring Locales.

  4. In Basic Information, provide the following:

    • Name: Name for the bundle.
    • (Optional) SKU Number: The SKU of the bundle.
    • Commodity Type: Select whether the product is physical or digital.
    • (Optional) Description: A description for the bundle.
    • In Product Tags, either:
      • enter a tag and press Enter. Repeat this step for each tag you want to use.
      • select View as a comma separated list and enter a comma separated list of tags.
    • Slug: A label for the bundle that is used in the URL paths. A slug can contain any combination of letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, and underscores. No spaces or other characters are allowed. By default, the bundle name is used as the slug.
    • (Optional) External Reference: A unique attribute associated with the product. This could be an external reference from a separate company system, for example. The maximum length is 2048 characters.
    • (Optional) MPN: Manufacture Part Number (MPN).
    • (Optional) UPC/EAN: Universal Product Code (UPC) or European Article Number (EAN) used to scan a product in a Point of Sale (POS) system.
    • Bundle products can have rich media assets, such as product images or a file containing additional product details. Only the main image for a bundle is shown. You can only replace or delete an existing main_image. If there are other files associated with bundle, they are not shown here. You can go to Media Management for a product to manage these files. To add media for the bundle, do one of the following:
      - Drag and drop the file from your local directory.
      - Click **Choose File** and browse and add the file.
      - In the **add by URL** field, add the URL for the media.
      To delete media from Commerce, go to Products > Media. See Files in Media.

  5. In Manage Bundle Components, add the components and component products to include in your bundle.

  6. Select Add Component.

  7. (Optional) You can specify a sort value. A sort value must be a number. You can specify any numbers that you want. For example, 1, 2, 3, or 100, 90, 80, and so on. The sort value is visible when you add the products to your catalogs. You can then use the sort value to program your storefront to display the bundle components in the order that you want.

  8. In Component Name, enter a name for the component. The component name is the name that is displayed in your storefront.

  9. In Component Key, enter a unique identifier to identify a component. The component key can be anything you like but it should be relatively short and must not contain any special characters.

  11. (Optional) In Maximum, enter the maximum number of products a customer can buy.

    note

    If you do not specify any minimum or maximum values for the product options in your components, your shoppers can select any combination of product options.

  12. To add products to a component, select Add Products. The Add products to a bundle component pane is displayed. A list of all the available products in your store is displayed

  13. You can add as many options you want. You can also filter the products by SKU, Product Name, and Product status, or scroll through the list.

  14. Select + next to the products you want to add.

  15. Close the Add products to a bundle component pane. The products you selected are added to the component.
