Product Bundles

Product Bundles

Product bundles are collections of products sold together under a single product code. Typically, a bundle is comprised of one main product and several related constituent products. For example, a winter coat bundled with a scarf and gloves. Bundled products generally offer a price savings when compared with purchasing the constituent products individually.

When you export a product bundle, the exported information includes the product code for the bundle and the product codes for the bundle constituents. A product's bundle constituents are exported separately in a bundle.xml file; see the sample XML product bundle below for more information. Associated categories are automatically exported, as well as the catalogs associated with those categories.

Like a regular product, you can optionally export associated assets, inventory and product associations.

If you import a product bundle into a target system that has a product bundle with the same product code, all constituents of the target bundle are first cleared and the imported constituents are written in their place.

Sample XML Product Bundle

A product bundle's constituents are exported in a separate file called bundle.xml. bundle.xml uses the product's <code> to reference the product. For example, the product bundle code is BUN_DIG_BEG and the bundle's code is <bundle code="BUN_DIG_BEG">.
