Creating a Bundle Product

2.  On the products page, click on the drop down arrow beside Add Product and select Bundle Product. 

3.  Enter a Product Name in the corresponding field.

4.  Your Lambda Store will automatically generate an SKU based on your product name. In necessary, you are free to manually enter another SKU. 

5.  Set the Dynamic SKU to Yes or No.

Yes: Allows a dynamic SKU to be assigned to each bundle item, which adds a suffix to the default SKU.

No: Allows a unique SKU to be assigned to each bundle item.

6.  Set the Dynamic Price to Yes or No

Yes: Allows the customer to select pricing options for each bundle. This disables the Price and Tax Class fields in the required settings.

No: Allows the bundle to be sold under a fixed price, which can be entered in the price field. 

7.  Set your product as In Stock to show that it is available for sale on the website. When the quantity is empty or zero, the stock status defaults to out of stock. 

8.  The default visibility setting, 'Catalog, Search', allows the product to be accessed through viewing the catalog or using the search panel. You can keep this default setting, or select 'Catalog,' 'Search,' or 'Not Visible Individually' in the drop-down menu. 

9.  In the corresponding drop-down menu, select the categories applicable to your product and click Done. If you would like to create a new category for your product, click the New Category button.

If you would like to delete an item, click on its corresponding Delete icon. If you would like to add more items to an existing option, click Add Products to Option.

15.  If you would like to add more options to your bundle, click Add Option.
