If a Bundle has options, these will be selected within in a similar manner to the Swatch Wizard.

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.
