Process: Develop promotional package
Flow
Objective
Create promotional package consisting of other products or SKUs within the master catalog.
Description
A promotional package is created by a Product Manager as a product container of other products or SKUs from the master catalog. The Product Manager may group any set of SKUs targeted for clearance, special introductions or other reasons to promote quick sales. A promotional package is a product with its own images, descriptions and attributes. A promotional package has two types:
- A static kit or prebuilt kit which is priced independent of its SKUs and cannot be broken down into its constituent SKUs either in the shopping cart or order.
- A bundle which is not priced as a whole but is the sum of each individual SKU and its constituent SKUs are placed individually in the shopping cart or order (SKUs can be deleted). A bundle is a convenient mechanism for stores to group a set of products together for their customers to purchase easily.
Features
- Kits or bundle containing SKUs with specified quantities.
- Sequence SKUs within kit or bundle for display.
- Promotional pricing for kits.
Customization
- Kits or bundles containing products resulting in SKUs for the kit. Graphical User Interface support is not available with Commerce Accelerator tools to build and resolves SKUs from the combination of the constituent products and needs to be manually created using the loader package.
- Kits or bundles containing other products that are kits.
