By default, the product bundle and the products included will be shown in “Cart” and “Checkout” pages.
However, if you don’t want to show the products included in the bundle, you can enable the specific option that you find in YITH -> Product Bundles -> General settings.
In this page, we will analyze how to create a new product of the “Bundle” type, and how to select the products that we want to assign to it.
By way of example, we will create a “T-shirt” bundle product that will include the following products: Blue Man T-shirt, Wave T-shirt and Fade Tee.
Firstly, create a new product on “WooCommerce” and select the Product Bundle type in the product detail page.
Add the products to the bundle in a few simple moves. Go to Bundle options and click on Add product to the bundle button. A popup window will open. You’ll be able to search a product using the search field on top and to add all the products you need by clicking on Add next to each of them.
You can either search the product on the product name or SKU, by using SKU:
Add the products you need by clicking on the Add button next to each of them.
The products you want to add can be both simple and variable ones.
For variable products, choose whether to offer all the variations or only some. In the latter case, select the variations that can be included in the bundle under in “Filter Product Variations”.
Let’s analyze the settings that you can configure for each product added to the bundle.
In Bundle options, you can manage the bundle price as follows:
Fixed price
By selecting Set a fixed price for this bundle, you can enter the regular price and, optionally, the discounted price.
Through the option Show saving amount, available only if you set a fixed price for the bundle, you will have the possibility to show on the product page how much money users can save when purchasing the bundle product.
Use prices of bundled items
By selecting Use prices of bundled items, the price of the bundle will be calculated based on the prices of the added products and subordinated to the quantity of each of them.
If you want to apply the shipping fees separately for each product of the bundle, select the option Items will be shipped individually. In this case, every product will have its own shipping fee set from the related WooCommerce detail page.
On the contrary, if you want to apply just one shipping fee, select the option Items will be bundled in a unique shipment.
You can set the minimum and/or maximum quantity of items that must be included in each bundle in order to add it to the cart by enabling the option Limit product selection for this bundle.
When enabled, you can specify the minimum and the maximum number of items that can be selected by users in the entries available in Total items in bundle.
Through the option Different types of items in bundle, you can specify the minimum and the maximum number of different items that can be selected by users.
The user will be notified by an error message on the product page in case the bundle can’t be added to the cart.
The price of the product bundle is calculated basing on the “Item Pricing” option.
If this option is not activated, the price of the product must be set from the WooCommerce “Regular Price” and “Sale Price” general settings. If so, the product bundle will a fixed price, regardless which kind and the quantity of the products available in the bundle.
On the contrary, if the “Per Item Pricing” option is activated, the price of the bundle will be the sum of the prices of the added product, and subordinated to the quantity of each product.
Activate the “Non-Bundled Shipping” option if you want to apply the shipping fees separately for each product of the bundle. If so, each product will have its own shipping fee set from the related WooCommerce detail page.
On the contrary, if you want to apply just one shipping fee, deactivate the option and set it from the product bundle you have created.
You can set the minimum and/or maximum quantity of items that must be included in each bundle in order to add it to the cart.
When creating bundles with optional items, you will also have the possibility to set the minimum and/or maximum quantity of different items to be included.
To set the quantities, go to “Bundle Options”. If the value is set to 0, no control on the quantity will be applied.
The control on the quantity is given by the sum of the single item quantities added to the bundle.
The user will be notified by an error message on the product page in case the bundle can’t be added to the cart.
