I have the same problem. We manufacture our own products but we pre-make many of the pieces which work for multiple items. It would be nice if when the product sold I can remove it from the inventory of all products that contain the same 'pieces'.

We sell bundles with a parent SKU made up of 4 individual SKUs. We do not stock the bundles and need the Pick List to reflect the individual SKUs. We are using BigCommerce, which also does not have a way to divide a bundle into the individual SKUs.

Until Shipstation adds this feature, this is how we currently handle bundles. From within ShipStation products, we use the "warehouse location" as a field to list the components fo the bundle. It works nicely since the warehouse location field appears on the picklist and we adjusted the packing slip to also show warehouse location in bold. We have been doing it this way for 2-3 years. It is a good workaround. I had images ready to attach but it doesn't look like any can be added to comments.

need a solution for this one... pls

'+1 We are a company that sells car audio speakers in pairs, fours, and bundles and we could really benefit from this functionality in shipstation. Adding the ability to bundle products would alleviate the issues we've been having with inventory and invoicing. Thanks in advance.

We need this functionality too, also to assign different quantities to reflect packsizes and make the quantities clear to warehouse on the picklist

I'm adding a "product bundle" application to a client's site to allow for special product bundles: https://apps.shopify.com/product-kits These bundles need their own "parent" products, and add the individual "child" products inside the bundle as line items in a metafield. I'd like the ability to attach those metafields to a shipstation order.

Any update on when this feature will be availiable?

  • June 12, 2018
Mid-2018 and still nothing. We have a lot of products that are both separate items and can be bundled as kits. This functionality is imperative!

  • June 19, 2018
NEED this.

  • July 2, 2018
MUCH NEEDED PLEASE. July 1st 2018 and waiting :) jd

This seems like a very simple solution and should be implemented immediately. Kitting is very common. Disappointing that it is taking so long. I may need to consider other shipping management solutions...

  • July 19, 2018
Still hoping this becomes a thing!

  • July 19, 2018
Very much needed! We have multiple items that are sold individually and in bundles. We would love to be able to have inventory automatically deducted instead of having to go in and manually do it! Please make this a feature!

  • August 3, 2018
Yes this is needed! We would love to have this option!

  • August 3, 2018
Yes this is much needed!

  • August 9, 2018
Please, please, please add this feature. All our items are sold both individually and in bundles, this is really important for us and would make our daily work so much easier.

I have a portfolio where I sell systems that have parts (canisters, filters, fittings, documentation). I want to track the inventory of the pieces when people order the systems. Please add this functionality, then I can get rid of my archaic Microsoft Access based home spun solution! Thanks, Dave

I'm sure we are not the only company that is wasting money and time having to utilize a 3rd party inventory software simply because you haven't added kits.. we sell singles and offer bundles.. it seems so simple to make an SKU have a bill of materials. I have to manage 2 things twice the work. Shipstation please listen to your users and roll this out. we beg you.

  • October 29, 2018
I would like to see a way to have a single SKU from a webstore import to ShipStation as two line items. For example a bundled product (one price for A and B). We have several items available both as a bundle and as single items. It seems foolish to pre-assemble these bundles as we don't know how many will sell. If there was a way for the bundle SKU to import as the two separate SKUs it would help inventory as there wouldn't need to be an additional location created just to house assembled bundles. Additionally, we work with several overseas depots, all with different inventory and shipping systems. Ship Station is used as a reference for them and I worry that because the bundle SKU isn't in their inventory system, an order may be marked out of stock.

PLEASE IT MANDATORY. it will be very easy to send to amazon fulfillment as well

  • November 30, 2018
Kits are a basic necessity of business. This should be a priority. You've been reviewing this since Sep 27, 2017 at the very latest. What's the status of this request?

  • December 11, 2018
We sell bundles and individuals as well. How is this not a feature that is standard? It is a pretty basic tool needed in this industry.

  • December 19, 2018
An easy way would be to have a product attribute that marks an item on a kit, and for each kit item, provide a way to add the constituent SKUs and quantities as attributes of the "parent" kit item (like adding several aliases). The only other thing necessary would be to add an automation that modifies the order items of any order containing a kit product by removing (or zeroing) the kit item, and adding each of the constituents as individual order items as the order is imported. There is already similar functionality to fire a webhook based on specific order items, so I imagine it something like the webhook fires on kit items, the endpoint accepts the SKU of the kit and does a database lookup of what's in the kit, then modifies the order items via the API, returning the contents of the kit to shipstation as JSON or XML for shipstation to interpret as order items. It doesn't look like there's a way to modify the order items though the API currently, or I'd have this implemented already. It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult for the shipstation developers to add, though.

This is the only feature that is preventing us from signing up and processing some 4-5k orders a month with ShipStation. We sell 2 packs on Amazon but can't account for picking and shipping these orders with this very standard functionality. We would have to sign up for a 3rd party inventory system purely to work with this situation, print packing slips in that software, and then come back to shipstation to print shipping labels.
