Support for Bundled Products / Update Inventory for Bundles

Hi ShipStation Team,

Any idea on when this improvement will be started?

Thanks

Wow like two days ago Monday you guys are working on it?

What is the road map for this planned feature?

ShipStation devs, what is the story here? How many more years do you need to implement a feature that clearly many of your customers need? It is keeping new customers away, and will eventually drive current customers like us to other systems. You acquired ShippingEasy a couple of years ago. That system has a product catalog that allows users to create the relationship between a group/bundle/kit product SKU and the individual product SKU's that are rolled up into that group. Why is this so difficult? Today I received another survey from you asking more silly questions about whether I want to be able to pay for my pre-paid labels with credit card or PayPal. We know how to pay for labels. We need real functionality improvements. Get on it!

Ordoro allows Bundles. We sell bundles on our website and on Amazon. Unbelievable that Shipstation is behind on this. I do hope that they implement bundles very soon. Or else we may have to go back to Ordoro. 😞 

This request is 9 years old and has been in planning stage for 5 years.  Safe to assume it's not happening?

Any updates?

Single Sku Bundle (qty package)
Alias Sku = Main Sku x Qty

Bundles: 
Alias Sku =
Main Sku x Qty
Main Sku x Qty
Main Sku x Qty
[add product sku + qty]

I agree - its ridiculous that this software does not include this feature, as this is a feature required in nowadays e-commerce environment.

If not for the fact that this feature is not included, we would have chosen shipstation for our inventory management software, now we will need to find an alternative

I need the ability track inventory when selling a case of 12 units.
We only have 1 product, but we sell it as individual units and wholesale cases of 12 units. 
If ShipStation won't allow a simple way to track the sale of wholesale cases, we'll have to use a different platform. 

Does anyone have alternate suggestions? 
Ordoro looks like a great option that allows kitting (bundling) in inventory management, but the tier that allows for inventory management is $500/month!

Any other recommended options besides ShipStation for tracking multi-unit product cases? 

We also sell "kits" or "bundles" that usually contain multiple types of products; such as a book, t-shirt, sticker pack, and additional swag items. Having a master bundle SKU listing each individual product should then separate and include those products and their customs settings on customs forms. We spend a lot of hours doing manual work with international shipments so that the correct harmonization codes and descriptions and such are accurate for our international shipments of bundles products, which has severely limited the number of bundles we can sell.

Hello all! 

We are excited to announce that we have begun designing a bundled product experience in ShipStation! We are so grateful for the outpouring of incredible feedback. This gives us a great collection of details on how each of you may find value in this feature. 

Have a wonderful day everyone and look forward to building this exciting new feature with you all! 

We sell products in different quantities and combinations. For example, you can buy one copy of a book, or you can buy bundles of 5, 10 or 15 to use with a team or group. I would like to be able to add in the quantity on hand and have the number of that specific book reduced by 1, 10 or 15 depending on the order. We also sell combinations that might include a book, and a workbook. Can the book/workbook deduct from each of those individual products?

Hey Sarah,

Any update on this release? Been planned for two years now

Hello @Xare123, 

Thanks for your comment and for being a part of our community. 

This is still something that is being actively being worked on.

@Moderator-Davis This would be a life-saving solution!  I am so surprised to find this many people having the same issue with bundles, yet Shipstation doesn't have a working solution yet.  I hope you are able to develop the feature successfully and soon! 😅😆

I will chime in here, in case Shipstation monitors this forum. We are also in need of a bundling/kitting option for inventory management purposes. In the past, I believe there was a functionality that allowed a work around through automation settings, but these seem to have been removed.

It's a bit strange that this basic functionality is missing from a platform as big as shipstation.

If anyone has a cost effective solution/workaround I'd be happy to give it a try.

Hello @Generations  and @metscube, 

Thank you both for being active in our community and for adding your feedback. 

We're excited to announce Kitting and Bundling in ShipStation is enabled for some early access users now! We will be announcing more on this over the next few months!

We use the Simple bundles app to pass in bundle info from Shopify

We're trying out the bundle beta and our feedback is positive! It's a promising capability that offers a lot of benefits for us - thank you!

One thing we're struggling with is related to packing lists. Currently, we have the option to toggle between presenting bundles skus and component skus on packing lists. The friction is that the toggle is at the product level. We need the ability to toggle bundle/component at the packing list template level rather than the product level. The reason for this is because we use custom "packing" lists as our production pick lists in the fulfillment center due to the superior customization functionality of packing lists relative to pick lists in shipstation. We've had success customizing pick lists (using SS's packing lists) to include different headers to influence workflow through the warehouse, internal notes for special instructions, product barcodes, and other internal customizations in product descriptions. We'd love to use component sku's for these packing lists and bundle sku's for our customer-facing packing lists that are inserted into the parcels we ship.
