Selling kits comprised of other products in in was created by momentis
I am working on developing an ecommerce site for a new client. This client sells starter kits for motorcycles. Each of these kits are comprised of individual parts (10-30), based on the kit type. My client will ONLY be selling the completed kits - not individual parts.
I would like to be able to utilize HikaShop to assist this client in managing their parts inventory. Is there any way I can use HikaShop to manage the individual parts inventories, based off the kits sold? For example, Kit 1 with part #4563 may have part #'s 8765, 2276Y, 98HG, 77FD, and 91152 as part of the overall kit. If a customer orders Kit 1 (part #4563), can HikaShop remove all of the parts which comprise that kit from inventory, even though each part is not being sold individually? The individual parts would never be displayed on the public store, but would be managed by the admin.
In this way, my client could add the beginning inventory for each part, and then have the parts deducted as each kit is sold. Please keep in mind with this that some kits may have identical parts comprising them, so each would need to decrease the same part's inventory.
Thanks for any guidance you could give!!

Hi,
To do it properly, it would require a bundle feature.
That's something we want to add in the future but not in the short term as we're working on other things.
However, you can do it with option products with each option products having only one characteristic with one variant and then hiding the options area on the product page with CSS.
That way, the main product will be added with all the options selected and the stock of the options of the product will be updated.

Hi there!
I was just checking back in to see if the "bundle" feature had been added.

Hoping to see this soon. Read that you've started development in another thread. We have several clients who need this granular inventory management too, and building it out custom is rather cost prohibitive.
Would be happy to help test it out when you have a solid beta!

Hi,
We're finishing the work on the new add to cart system and thanks to the new system, it will be easy to add that. So it won't be for HikaShop 3, but that will be one of the next things after the release.

Hi,
HikaShop 3 is scheduled to be released at the end of summer September/October.
We hope to do a beta near the end of August. We'll probably send a newsletter at that time to notify the interested parties.
