Bundle costs: better prices for product sets

What are bundle costs?

Many suppliers give you a better price when you buy products together as a set. If you sell a Sneakers-and-Socks combo, the set might cost you less than buying both items separately.

Without bundle costs, we calculate your cost of goods from each product's individual cost, so your profit looks lower than it really is. With bundle costs, you tell us which products belong together and what the set costs you. Whenever an order contains that combination, we use the set price instead.

Your customers do not need to buy a special bundle product. They can add the items to their cart individually. We recognize the combination automatically when the order comes in.

An example

Say you sell these products with these individual costs:

Your supplier offers you the Sneakers plus Socks as a set for $100 instead of $110. You create a bundle:

• Products: 1 x Sneakers, 1 x Socks
• Cost: $100 per set

Now a customer orders Sneakers, Socks, and a Cap. We recognize the set, so the cost of goods for this order is $100 for the set plus $15 for the Cap: $115 instead of $125. Your reports show $10 more profit, which is what you actually earned.

Quantity discounts

If your supplier gives you a better price when you buy several sets at once,
add a cost for each quantity:

• 1 set: $100
• 2 sets: $180

The amounts are totals, not per-set prices. If an order contains more sets than your largest quantity, we combine your prices: 3 sets with the table above cost $180 + $100 = $280.

Priority: when more than one bundle fits

Sometimes several of your bundles could match the same order. For example:

• Bundle A: Sneakers + Socks = $100
• Bundle B: Sneakers + Socks + Cap = $110

A customer orders Sneakers, Socks, and a Cap. Both bundles fit. Which one should we use?

That is what priority is for. We check your bundles in priority order, lowest number first. The first bundle that fits claims its products, and only what is left over can match further bundles or gets priced individually.

• If Bundle B has the higher priority, the whole order matches Bundle B: cost $110.
• If Bundle A has the higher priority, Bundle A matches first ($100), and the Cap is left over and priced at its individual cost ($15): $115 in total.

A good rule of thumb: give your larger, more specific bundles a higher priority (a lower number) than smaller ones, so the bigger set wins when everything for it is in the order.

If you leave priority empty, it defaults to 0, which is the highest priority.

How the cost is shown on your orders

A bundle covers several products, but your reports show cost and profit per product. So we split the bundle cost across the products in it. By default, each product carries a share based on what it sold for after discounts: a free gift in a bundle carries no cost while the paid items do. If you prefer, you can switch a bundle to split by the products' individual costs instead.

On the order page, items that were part of a bundle show a Bundle label. Click it to see exactly how the cost was split, or to jump to the bundle and edit it.

Good to know

• Anything in an order that is not part of a complete bundle is priced with your normal product costs, including your regular quantity discounts.
• A bundle only applies when all of its products are in the order in the required amounts. Sneakers alone will not match a Sneakers-and-Socks bundle.
• When you create, change, or delete a bundle, we recalculate your orders automatically. This can take a little while for large stores.
• The set price comes from your supplier, so it is independent of any discounts you give your customers.
