How do you create a product bundle

[Breeze]

I would like to create a bundle and have inventory (stock) updated for each item within the bundle. Can you do this today?

I don't think you can currently do this with 3DC. However, we added sort of a recommended set of packages and if you click on the buy button it adds all of the products to the cart at once. If you wanted to add a discount for the package you could probably create a discount that is automatically applied if a certain set of products is in the cart.

mueller,

Could you go into more detail on how you did this?

Maybe an example?

Well, we didn't actually do it on our own. A little help from Gonzalo and Jimmy got us started and then we modified as needed. I will post an example but basically you have to create a form with most of the elements set as hidden. These elements list the product(s) and quantities you want included when 'add to cart' is clicked. Without further ado:

<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" method=post action=add_cart.asp name="add">
    <td>
<input type=hidden name="item_id" value="1">
<input type=hidden size="2" name="qty-1" value=1>

<input type=hidden name="item_id" value="2">
<input type=hidden size="2" name="qty-2" value=1>

<input type=hidden name="item_id" value="3">
<input type=hidden size="2" name="qty-3" value=1>

<input type=hidden name="item_id" value="4">
<input type=hidden size="2" name="qty-4" value=1>

<input type="submit" name="Add" value="Add to Cart" class="btn">
	</td>
  </form>

So this would add one of each of product with an item_id of 1 through 4. For the sake of clarity here is the same thing, but adding 2 of each to the cart:

    <form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" method=post action=add_cart.asp name="add">
    <td>
<input type=hidden name="item_id" value="1">
<input type=hidden size="2" name="qty-1" value=2>

<input type=hidden name="item_id" value="2">
<input type=hidden size="2" name="qty-2" value=2>

<input type=hidden name="item_id" value="3">
<input type=hidden size="2" name="qty-3" value=2>

<input type=hidden name="item_id" value="4">
<input type=hidden size="2" name="qty-4" value=2>

<input type="submit" name="Add" value="Add to Cart" class="btn">
	</td></form>

Please note the 'td' tags are just part of what I copied and pasted from our page and are obviously not required for this to work.

Hope this helps.
