Bundles and kits in depth

Taken from the components (virtual): the warehouse stores single items and picks them for every sale. Stock sits on the singles. This is the default; choose it when unsure.

Kept as assembled packs (prepacked): the warehouse stores the packs ready-made. Stock sits on the pack itself, so you send stock to the pack product.

On the pack's product page, Use existing products opens Set up bundle. Add each product and its Qty per unit, set Stock to Kept as assembled packs (prepacked) and click Save components. The badge then reads Bundle - prepacked kit of n.

Use Edit components to add products or change quantities, then Save components.

If an open order holds stock for the bundle, the change is refused on purpose and the message names the orders. Ship, cancel or release them first, then save again.

Remove bundle link → Remove link turns the listing back into a plain product. Give it a new link or bundle right away so its orders find the right stock.

The order shows Kit: a set of 2 different products with each product and its own bin. The warehouse picks every product and packs one kit in one box. The Shipments page shows the same kit and its bins in the Items column.

Stock sits on the singles; the bundle cannot hold stock of its own.

Send stock to the pack itself.

Always single products: never a bundle, never a linked product.

Not while orders hold stock for the bundle.

One kit always ships in one box.
