What about ShipCompliant?


When using ShipCompliant, here's what happens:

The individual 'child' SKUs (the SKUs that make up the Bundle) are sent to ShipCompliant. (Note: ShipCompliant 'Kits' feature cannot be used for this purpose).

  • What does that mean?
    Example: You have a Gift Pack (Bundle) Order that requires a special wooden box.
    • For Compliance Purposes, the Order will be reported based on the individual SKUs that are comprised in the Gift Pack.
    • For Fulfillment Purposes, the Order will be transmitted based on the individual SKUs that are comprised in the Gift Pack. BUT you will need to communicate the wooden box requirement to your Fulfillment House by including Shipping Instructions on the Order - or by contacting them directly.

FAQ

How are tax rates calculated with bundles?

"Bundles" do not have a Tax Type. Instead a Bundle will calculate the Tax Type based off of the individual SKUs included in the Bundle.

Example:  Bundle including a mix of wine and merchandise will include tax rates for both wine and merchandise. A Bundle including only merchandise will include tax rates for only merchandise. 

How do shipping rates work with bundles?

A "parent" or bundled SKU does not have an individual weight for shipping purposes. Instead, shipping rates are automatically calculated by adding the weight of all child SKUs within the Bundle.

Example: You have a 3-Pack SKU that includes 3 child SKUs - each with a weight of 4 lbs. Shipping costs for my parent SKU would be calculated at 12 lbs.

How do Bundles interact with ShipCompliant?

Take a look here.

How do Bundles appear on Reports and Queries?

  • Individual (sub) SKUs will appear in the Closing and Sales by SKU Report.
  • Individual (sub) SKUs will appear in the Inventory Reporting.
  • Bundle (parent) SKUs will appear in the Order Export and Queries.

What if only one of the child Products sells out? Can the Bundle still be sold?

No. If any of the child Products run out of inventory, then the 'Add to Cart' button will no longer display for the Customer. 

How do Bundles affect Inventory Reporting?

When a parent SKU is sold, inventory is pulled from the child SKUs inventory.

Example:

  • You have a Bundle called "3 Pack Red". The Bundle contains the following individual SKUs which have the following inventory levels:
    2012 Cab Sauv - 65 bottles available for sale
    2014 Cab Sauv - 40 bottles available for sale
    2016 Cab Sauv - 87 bottles available for sale
  • In this example, Customers would be able to purchase up to 40 of the 3 Pack Red parent SKU. After 40 of the 3 Pack Red SKU was sold, here is how the inventory would look:
    2012 Cab Sauv - 25 bottles available for sale
    2014 Cab Sauv - 0 bottles available for sale
    2016 Cab Sauv - 67 bottles available for sale

Can gift card SKU's be part of a bundle?

No. Gift card SKU's do not function when they are part of a Bundle. 

Bundle, Promotions and Departments

If a Promotion is set up to work only for Departments the Bundle will not be included in the  discount. You cannot assign a Department in a Bundle. If a Promotion does not apply to a Bundle please review the Promotion set up and see if it has Departments.
