Bundle Groups Overview
ℹ️ What is a Bundle Group?
Section titled “ℹ️ What is a Bundle Group?”A Bundle Group links a Master product (bundle) with one or more Component products.
When inventory changes (for example, a bundle is sold or components are restocked), Tipo app updates inventory based on your bundle rules.
ℹ️ When should I use Bundle Groups?
Section titled “ℹ️ When should I use Bundle Groups?”Use Bundle Groups if you sell:
- Kits / bundles (e.g., “Gift Set” contains 1 candle + 1 box)
- Packs (e.g., “3-Pack Socks” consumes 3 units of the same SKU)
- Build-your-own sets where the master item depends on components
🔑 Key terms
Section titled “🔑 Key terms”- Master product: the bundle listing customers buy (e.g., “Gift Box Set”)
- Component products: the items inside the bundle (e.g., “Candle”, “Box”)
- Quantity rule: how many units of each component are required for 1 bundle
✅ How Bundle inventory works
Section titled “✅ How Bundle inventory works”Tipo keeps inventory accurate by:
- Reducing component inventory when the Master sells
- Updating Master availability based on component stock
- Preventing overselling when a component is out of stock (depending on your rule setup)
🧪 Example
Section titled “🧪 Example”Let’s say you sell a bundle:
Master (Bundle): Gift Box Set
Components:
- Candle (needs 1)
- Gift Box (needs 1)
Inventory before sale
- Candle: 20
- Gift Box: 12
✅ Bundle can be sold 12 times (limited by the lowest component)
After 2 bundle sales
- Candle becomes 18
- Gift Box becomes 10
✅ Bundle availability becomes 10
ℹ️ What affects syncing?
Section titled “ℹ️ What affects syncing?”Bundle updates can happen when:
- An order is created (bundle sold)
- An order is refunded/cancelled (inventory returned)
- You edit the Bundle Group settings/rules
