This tab is used to setup and manage the contents of a Bundle. A Bundle is a composite product made up of multiple simple Variants (e.g. Variants without [Customisations](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/categories/page/customisation "Customisation")).

<p class="callout info">This tab will only show if the Product Type has been set to Bundle on the [Product](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/categories/page/product "Product") tab</p>

## Setup

<p class="callout info">Pricing for Bundles is more complex than for simple Variants. The total price for a Bundle will be the sum of all of the Bundle Contents plus any additional pricing set at the Bundle level.</p>

## How Bundles display

### Website

On the website, a Bundle will display as a single product, with the Bundle Contents clearly output.

If a Bundle has options, these will be selected within in a similar manner to the [Swatch Wizard](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/product-detail-page/page/swatch-wizard "Swatch Wizard").

### CMS

When processing orders, Bundles are split out so that the Bundle Contents may be allocated an shipped individually.

## FAQs

### How do Bundles handle stock?

Stock for Bundles is based on the availability of the Bundle Contents; the smallest amount of free stock available to any of its Bundle Contents.

For example, if a Bundle had 3 Bundle Contents, of which one item had only 1 unit of free stock, while the others had 5 and 10 respectively, then the Bundles availability would be 1.

If the Bundle Contents are available for backorder, then the Bundle will be available even if there is no stock, although this will add a lead time.
