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 sku's included in the bundle.
For example, a 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 rate is automatically calculated by added the weight of all child skus within the bundle.
For example, if my 3 Pack sku included 3 child skus each with a weight of 4 pounds, shipping costs for my parent sku would be calculated at 12 pounds.
How do bundles interact with ShipCompliant?
When a "parent" or bundled sku is sold, the child skus are pushed to ShipCompliant, not the parent sku.
How do bundles appear on reports?
Parent skus will appear in the Commerce7 sales by sku report. When a parent sku is purchased, the report will reflect an additional sale for the parent sku, not for the child skus.
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 sku's inventory.
Here is an example of how bundles affect inventory
Let's say we have a bundle called "3 Pack Red". Inside the bundle are the following individual skus which have the following inventory levels.
2012 Cab Sav - 65 bottles available for sale
2014 Cab Sav - 40 bottles available for sale
2016 Cab Sav - 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 Sav - 25 bottles available for sale
2014 Cab Sav - 0 bottles available for sale
2016 Cab Sav - 67 bottles available for sale
Can gift card SKU's be part of a bundle?
Gift card SKU's do not function when they are part of a bundle.
Bundle, promotions and department ?
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.
