Product Bundles

Product Bundles let you sell a set of products that already exist in your catalog as a single product, at one price. Unlike product options (which create variants of a single product) or add-ons (checkbox extras with no stock of their own), each component of a bundle is a real, independent product — with its own SKU, price, and stock — that you’re packaging together for the sale.

On the storefront, customers see one product page with one price and one Add to Cart button. Behind the scenes, Jumpseller keeps tracking every component individually, so your inventory stays accurate.

Bundle Components Section

Bundles work well anywhere you sell items together that also make sense on their own:

Food and Beverage

  • Recipe Packs — Sell all the ingredients for a recipe together (e.g., a “Homemade Pound Cake Pack” with flour, egg, and butter), while still selling flour, egg, or butter individually elsewhere in your catalog.
  • Breakfast or Snack Baskets — Combine several individually-stocked items into one curated basket product.

Gifts and Special Occasions

  • Gift Sets — Bundle a handful of best-sellers into a ready-to-buy gift set for holidays or special occasions.
  • Starter Kits — Package the individual items a new customer needs to get started with your product line.

Beauty and Personal Care

  • Routine Sets — Combine a cleanser, serum, and moisturizer that are also sold separately into one skincare routine bundle.

Retail and Accessories

  • Combo Packs — Pair a main product with its most common accessories (e.g., a device with its charger and case) as a single, discounted purchase.

Pro Tip: Price the bundle a little lower than the sum of its components’ individual prices, and show that saving with the Compare at Price field so customers see the discount at a glance.

How to Create a Product Bundle

A bundle is a distinct product type — you choose it when you create the product, the same way you’d choose Physical, Digital, Gift Card, Appointment, or Subscription. You cannot turn an existing regular product into a bundle later; if you already have hand-built “pack” products (with their own SEO, reviews, and history), you’ll need to recreate them as bundles to get automatic component stock deduction and order breakdown — there is no in-place conversion today.

Requirements

  • Component products must already exist, with stock available. Every product you want to include as a component must already exist in your catalog with its own SKU and price. Create those products first if you haven’t already. Only components with available stock show up in the component search — a component with 0 stock won’t appear until it’s restocked.

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Start a new Bundle product. In your Jumpseller admin, go to Products > All Products, click the small arrow next to Add Product, and select Bundle from the dropdown (alongside Physical, Digital, Gift Card, Appointment, and Subscription).
  2. Name the bundle and set its price. Fill in the name and description as you would for any product, then set the Price the bundle will sell for, and optionally a Compare at Price to display the combined value of the components as a strikethrough discount.
  3. Scroll to Bundle Components. This section replaces the usual Stock/Shipping fields — a bundle’s own stock is derived from its components, not entered manually.
  4. Search and add components. Use the search field to find products already in your catalog and add them as components. Each result shows the component’s current stock and price for reference; you can set the quantity of each component used per bundle.
  5. Save the product. Click Save. The bundle is now live on your storefront as a single product.

How a Bundle Appears to Customers

On the storefront, a bundle looks like any other product: one product page, one price (with an optional “Compare at Price” discount badge), and a single Add to Cart button. Customers don’t see the individual components listed as separate products to choose from — they simply buy the bundle. This works the same way regardless of which theme your store uses — the bundle behaves like a normal product, since the theme isn’t responsible for computing the bundle’s price or handling the checkout logic.

The cart itself always shows the bundle as a single line item at its bundle price — it does not break out into components at the cart stage.

How a Bundle Appears in Orders

Once a customer completes checkout, the resulting order breaks the bundle down into its components: one line for the bundle itself, and one line per component with that component’s own price and subtotal. Learn more about how to manage orders.

Order with Bundle Components

How Inventory Works with Bundles

Stock is tracked at the component level, not at the bundle level. When a bundle order is placed, Jumpseller deducts stock from each individual component according to the quantity used in the bundle — the same components you can also sell on their own elsewhere in your store.

If a component is set to unlimited stock, that component simply never runs out, regardless of how many bundles are sold. If a component runs out of stock entirely, it disappears from the bundle-components search for new bundles.

How Pricing Is Distributed Across Order Lines

The bundle’s own Price field is what the customer actually pays — not the sum of the components’ catalog prices. At checkout, Jumpseller splits that price across the order’s component lines proportionally to each component’s full catalog price, so the lines still add up to the bundle price you set.

Example: A bundle is priced at $1.000 and contains two components at their regular catalog prices — Flour at $2.420 and Butter at $4.235 (a combined catalog value of $6.655). At checkout, the order breaks down as:

Line Catalog price Order line price
Flour $2.420 $364
Butter $4.235 $636
Total $6.655 $1.000

Each component gets roughly 15% of its catalog price ($1.000 ÷ $6.655), matching its share of the combined catalog value — not an even split, and not the bundle’s Compare at Price.

This distribution always uses each component’s full, undiscounted catalog price — a promotion active on an individual component is not factored in. If Flour has a 50%-off promotion running on its own product page, that discount is ignored when computing its share of the bundle price; the bundle still charges based on Flour’s regular price.

Best Practices

  • Keep components independently useful. Bundles work best when each component also makes sense as a standalone product in your catalog, not just as bundle filler.
  • Show the savings. Use the Compare at Price field so customers can immediately see how much they save by buying the bundle instead of the components separately.
  • Don’t bundle too many items. A focused bundle of 2–5 clearly related components is easier for customers to understand and buy than a large, unfocused pack.
  • Watch component stock. Since stock is deducted from the underlying components, keep an eye on the lowest-stocked component in a popular bundle — it determines how many bundles you can actually sell.

FAQs

Does it work on all themes?

Yes. A bundle behaves like a regular product on the storefront — one price, one Add to Cart button — regardless of which theme your store uses. The component search, price display, and order breakdown are all handled by Jumpseller directly, not by theme code, so there’s no theme update required to sell bundles.

Can I convert an existing product into a bundle?

Not currently. Bundle is chosen as the product type at creation time, and there’s no way to switch an existing Physical or Digital product into a Bundle afterward. If you have existing “pack” products built by hand, you’ll need to create a new Bundle product with the same components to get automatic stock deduction and order breakdown.

Why can’t I find a product when searching for bundle components?

The component search only shows products that currently have available stock. A component with 0 stock won’t appear in the search until it’s restocked.

What happens if a component runs out of stock?

The bundle can’t be purchased until enough stock is available for every component it contains — the bundle’s own availability follows its most constrained component.

Does a promotion on a component change what the customer pays?

No. The bundle’s price (and how it’s split across component order lines) is always based on each component’s regular, undiscounted catalog price — an active promotion on an individual component product is ignored for this calculation. If a component has a promotion running on its own product page, that discount only applies when the component is bought on its own, not as part of a bundle. See How Pricing Is Distributed Across Order Lines above for a worked example.

How do taxes work when components have different tax rates?

Because the bundle itself is a container, not an independently taxable product, tax is calculated per component — each component keeps its own tax category and rate, not one blended rate applied to the whole bundle.

Example: A bakery sells a “Breakfast Bundle” combining flour (in a 0%-tax “staple foods” category) with a bottle of wine (in a 19%-tax general goods category). On the resulting order, the flour’s line is taxed at 0% and the wine’s line is taxed at 19% — each based on its own product’s tax category — rather than one average rate applied across the bundle’s total price. This also means a single bundle can legally combine products from different tax categories without you having to manually work out a blended rate.

Do bundles sync to sales channels like Google Shopping or Mercado Libre?

A bundle is a regular product from a sales channel’s point of view, so it can be sent to your connected sales channels the same way any product is.
