I have tried to fiddle around with this function but do not seem to get any changes.
There is also nothing in the help section.

I want to bundle a gun with 2 magazines at a discounted price.
How do I go about doing this?

Hi,

Having products as bundle of others, the quantity of the bundled product will be updated after the purchase of the main product.
That's all it does.
It's to keep a consistent inventory for your products.

It would be great if the bundles also would show the images of the products and link to the original products in the bundle.

Discount price is an option, but it would be just ok for me if the shop just adds the prices into a total.

It can combine everything of the product, the stock is not so important for me.


Just my 2 cents :-)

Hi,

perhaps we can add another suggestion:
If one of the products in the bundle is out of stock, it would make sense that the bundled product itself would also automatically be out of stock.

Extending this idea further, it wouldn't be necessary to manually fill in the quantity of the bundle at all, since it can be determined by the stock of each of the products in the bundle.
Let's say you have a bundle of two products, red and blue flowers. If the blue flowers have 8 in stock and the red flowers have 5 in stock, than it shouldn't really be possible to buy more than 5 of the bundle either, right?

It would be a great improvement if Hikashop can keep track of a bundled product's stock like this automatically.

Kind regards,

Hi,

These are indeed good ideas.
We'll look at adding them in the future.

Hi,

related to our previous message above regarding stock of bundled products, we've come across an issue.
Although Hikashop automatically keeps track of the maximum quantity of the bundle by checking the stock of each product in the bundle, it still allows a user to buy the bundle as well as the individual products beyond what is in stock.

For example let's say you have a bundle of two products, red flowers (8 in stock) and blue flowers (5 in stock). It is not possible to buy more than 5 of the bundle, which is correct, but it is however possible to buy 5 of the bundle as well as 5 of the blue flowers. In other words, a customer can this way buy 10 blue flowers in total even though we only have 5 in stock.
Would it be possible to prevent this from happening and properly check total quantity when a bundle and also one of its individual products are added to cart?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. That's indeed a good point.
I was able to reproduce the problem and we've added a patch on our end in order to take that into account.
You can download again the install package on our website and install it on yours in order to get the patch.

Hi,

for our bundles we leave the quantity empty because we want Hikashop to calculate the max. quantity based on the availability of each product in the bundle as we discussed previously in this thread, which works great and displays correctly on the product pages.
However, we just noticed when we add a bundle to the cart, on the cart page it will always show as "Unlimited stock" (even if there is only 1 in stock).

It would be great if this can be fixed and the actual max. available quantity of the bundle can also be displayed correctly in the cart just like on the product page.

Thanks.

Hello,

Can you precise the context via a screenshot because so far we aren't sure to follow you well, as for us in our checkout the cart don't display any "Unlimited stock" message.
Sorry for this return, and awaiting elements from you to move forward on the subject.

Regards

Hi,

we never mentioned the checkout, so not sure why you're looking there, we're talking about the cart display page.

To see the issue:
1. Create a product with a quantity of e.g. 4 in stock.
2. Create a bundle with this product and some others, leave the quantity field empty.
3. On the front-end, the bundle product page will correctly say "4 in stock" (see first attached image).
4. Add the bundle to cart and go to cart display page.
5. The cart display page will show the product has "Unlimited ietms in stock" (see second attached image).

Hikashop correctly calculates the stock for the bundle on product pages, but not on cart pages (and also not on product listing pages).
Hope that makes it more clear.
