Support for Bundled Products / Update Inventory for Bundles

[caesar]

We have a few websites that sell products to wholesalers. For example we will sell a case of a single SKU. Each case has 12 units. It would be nice if SS could allow us to setup virtual bundles that deducted multiple units of a single SKU.

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.
