Product Bundles
Sell several products as one item. Set bundle contents, pricing, and let stock flow from the components at POS, on receipts, and on your online store.
A bundle is one product your customer buys once, made up of other products you already sell. Example: a gift set with two mugs and a bag of coffee. The bundle has its own price and photo, but stock comes from the items inside it.
Bundle, Extra, or Discount?
| Question | Use |
|---|---|
| Does the customer pick add-ons on the same item? (extra shot, gift wrap) | Extras add to the price without touching stock |
| Do you want a lower price on one SKU for a limited time? | Catalogue discounts mark a variant, product, or category down on a schedule |
| Do you sell a fixed set of products together as one line? | Bundles take stock from every component when one bundle sells |
Extras stay on one SKU. Discounts change the price. Bundles combine separate products into one sellable item.
Create a Bundle
- Open Catalogue > Products and pick a product, or create a new one.
- A bundle product has exactly one variant. Turn inventory tracking off on that product. The bundle itself holds no stock.
- On the product details page, open the Bundle contents card and click Make this a bundle (or Edit contents if it already is one).
- Add each component: search for a product variant, set Quantity per bundle (how many units of that item go into one bundle), and reorder rows for display.
- Choose a pricing mode and save.
How Stock Works
A bundle never has its own quantity on the shelf. Sellable now is calculated from the components:
- For each trackable component, divide available stock by quantity per bundle and round down.
- The bundle can sell as many complete sets as the lowest of those numbers.
- If every component is non-trackable, sellable quantity is Unlimited.
The card also shows Enough for N beside each component so you can see which item is the bottleneck.
Bundles do not appear in stocktake or the low-stock list, because they hold no stock of their own. Watch the component products instead.
Pricing Modes
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Set the price myself | You type the bundle selling price directly |
| Calculate from components | Cashvio totals component list prices, applies your discount percentage, and writes the result as the bundle price |
Calculated prices do not auto-update when component prices change later. If the component total drifts from the bundle price, the portal shows a banner with Recalculate so you can refresh the price in one click.
Sales, Returns, and Profit
- Selling one bundle deducts stock from every component in the quantities you defined.
- Returning one bundle puts the same component quantities back when the return is restocked.
- Profit on the bundle line uses the sum of component costs at sale time, so margin stays accurate even if you change the recipe later.
Past orders keep a snapshot of what was inside each bundle, so receipts and order history stay correct after you edit contents.
Where Bundles Appear
| Surface | What customers and staff see |
|---|---|
| New Sale | Bundle label on the tile; stock follows derived availability |
| POS ticket | One line with a short "Contains N items" note |
| Receipts | Bundle name plus indented component lines |
| Product list | Bundle marker and derived stock |
| Online store | Bundle badge on cards, "What's inside" on the product page, contents note in the cart |
| Meta catalog feed | Availability follows derived stock, not "always in stock" |
Limitations
These rules are intentional in this release:
- No nesting: a bundle cannot contain another bundle.
- One variant only: two colourways of the same set are two separate bundle products.
- No stocktake row: bundles do not appear in stocktake or low-stock alerts; track the components.
- No CSV import: you cannot create bundles through product import in this release. Build them in the product details page.
- No dead-stock row: the dead-stock report ranks products by stock movement. A bundle has none, so it never appears there.
