This guide will guide you through the Product Bundle feature in Empress - a powerful tool that allows you to group multiple items into a single product bundle. This is particularly useful when you want to sell multiple items as a package, offering a special price for the combined purchase.
What is the Product Bundle Feature?
The Product Bundle feature in Empress allows you to group multiple items into a single product bundle. This is especially beneficial if you maintain stock of the individual items rather than the aggregate product. For example, if you sell laptops and backpacks separately, but offer a special price if a customer buys both, then the Laptop + Backpack becomes a new Product Bundle.
How to Create a Product Bundle
Creating a product bundle in Empress is straightforward. Here’s how:
- Navigate to the Product Bundle section in Empress.
- Click on “Create New”.
- In the Parent Item field, enter the name of your new product bundle (e.g., “Laptop + Backpack”).
- Describe the product bundle in the Description field.
- In the Items section, list all the items that form the package.
- When finished, click “Save”.
Editing and Sorting Product Bundles
You can easily edit and sort your product bundles in Empress:
- To edit a product bundle, simply select the bundle you want to edit, make your changes, and click “Save”.
- To sort product bundles, you can use the Sort Field and Sort Order options to sort your bundles by various criteria, such as name, creation date, and more.
User Roles and Permissions
Different user roles have different permissions within the Product Bundle feature:
- Stock Manager: Can create, delete, email, print, read, report, share, and write.
- Stock User: Can email, print, read, and report.
- Sales User: Can create, delete, email, print, read, report, share, and write.
Conclusion
By leveraging the Product Bundle feature in Empress, businesses can enhance their product management and sales process by offering combined items as a single package. This not only provides customers with more purchasing options but also optimizes inventory management.
