This is how you can utilize the bundle feature in the AI Commerce online store.

For example, in a computer package, the customer first selects the motherboard, after which the system displays only compatible components, such as RAM, processor, and graphics card. This helps customers purchase the right add-ons and improves the user experience, as the products are clearly compatible and easy to choose.

Bundle Configurator

• Bundle Option Selections: It is possible to define multiple different options for each selection.

• Titling and Quantity: The number of selections and titles can be freely defined.

• Order: The order of selections and their corresponding products is controlled by the Sort Order value.

• Mandatory: Selections can be set to mandatory, which means that a product must be chosen from that selection line in the product package.

• Price: The price of the selected product can be tied either to the product's default price (on the Linked Price tab) or a special price can be assigned when it is ordered as part of a package.

Price Calculation

• Starting Price: In the interface, the bundle product will display a "starting price" calculated according to the most cost-effective possible combination at the time of bundle creation.

• Impact of Mandatory Selections: If, for example, the selection of a processor is not mandatory, the starting price of the package can be calculated without the processor. However, if 2 pieces of RAM sticks must be chosen, this will be taken into account in the calculation of the starting price.

Management of Quantities and Selection Types

• Default Quantities: In the bundle, default quantities can be set for products, and it can be decided whether the quantity is freely selectable or fixed.

• Selection Types: Various selection types are available for the bundle option:

  • Radio Button

  • Checkbox

  • Dropdown

  • Multiple Select

With these, the customer can be offered a choice for one or more products per selection line. The selection type also affects how products are displayed in the bundle product popup configurator.

Shopping Cart and Order

• Adding to Cart: When a bundle product is added to the cart, it appears as a composed product consisting of several different products.

• Editing: If the composed product is removed from the cart, the bundle must be rebuilt – it cannot be modified afterward.

• Package Offers: The bundle structure prevents products from being purchased "individually" at the package price.

Order Confirmation and ERP

• Explosion: In the order confirmation and ERP system, individual products go on their own lines (“exploded”) but there is a note indicating which bundle they belonged to.

• Multiple Bundles: The same products can be ordered as part of different bundles, where each ordered product has its own comment and appears on a separate line in the order confirmation.

Thus, AI Commerce offers a flexible way to assemble compatible products into larger units, facilitating both the customer's purchasing experience and the seller's product management.
