Creating a bundle of multiple items with variations

[jturpin]

I am trying to set up my account to have individual items, but also bundle some of those items into a "kit."  The kit would have some items that have variations like size & color, so I need the bundle to include drop down boxes for those variations.  Is this possible?

Hi @jturpin.  It might be soon.  There is an active beta going on for Retail Bundling here.  Of course, there is no way to know when this might be completed and the product rolled out to everyone.  So, if there is room and Square is accepting more participants you can join on that screen.  Not being part of that beta, I’m not sure whether it will meet your variation needs or not.

I’m tagging that beta group admins in case they want to reach out to you.

Thanks, Chip!  I have requested access to the group and will see how that goes!

I upgraded for the paid version because I needed bundles, but I need them to handle variations, I'm disappointed by the way it works now, I might need to switch platform if it's not fixed soon

I came here to submit this as a feature request. I’m very excited that we can do Bundles now. But in its current iteration, you must specify the variation of the item that is going into the bundle. 

For example, we sell an Cookies (item) and Ice Cream Pints (item). The Cookies item comes in different variations (chocolate chip, double chocolate etc). The Pints item does too (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry etc)

If I want to create an ice cream and cookies bundle, I HAVE TO select the specific variation of cookie and ice cream. What I need, is a bundle where I can select the items that come included and the customer selects the variation in a dropdown.

I also need this, very frustrating trying to set up bundles without this

Hi there @lulietbakery and @pifu - Thanks for sharing your feedback.

I've escalated this to our Retail Product Team to see if there is any further info they can provide on this. I'll let you know once I've received a reply from them. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

Thank you. I know this is something shopify offers so it is tempting to switch!

I need this as well where I can make a KIT not a bundle ie. allowing the customer to fill in the colors they want. We are not bundling. We want them to assemble from parts that have variable prices based on what they select but cannot be purchased independently. ie. we want to let the customer select the color/quality frame they want and the color insert. These are sets of 10/25/50/100 so trying to make variations with 10 options on one and 5 options on the other would be too crazy. We want to let them get 3 pink, 4 blue, 2 green, and a yellow to make up the 10 rather than all 10 having to be a single homogenous product. The shipping cost ratio leaves a bad taste if we try to sell them individually.

hi 

i will share example but have more :

i would like to bundle vinyl record:

https://www.783label.com/product/impurist-evolving-cortex-ltd-coloured-lp/4070

with long sleeve or t-shirt - that have several variations (sizes S to XXXL)

https://www.783label.com/product/impurist-evolving-cortex-longsleeve/4046

is it possible that customer will pick the size on bundle item page and then bundle will consume corresponding merch size ?

thanks

Hi @edi783punx,

When you opt to create an item as part of a bundle, the Item Options are no longer available. 

Instead you'll find that the variations associated with each pre-existing item are listed as individual Components.

So that you can keep up to date on any developments on this, I've gone ahead and merged your post with another thread where Sellers have previously discussed the topic. Merging threads helps us keep all interested parties informed when there is an update to share, and it allows you to consider the workarounds that other Sellers have implemented.

ok looks like this option is not available. any idea when it might become available ?

thanks
