Package Configurator (BETA)

This article guides you through creating packages in Geins Products (PIM).

Key features

  • Package price reflects the lowest possible sale price; stock follows the lowest-stock included product

Quick guide

  1. Go to Products (PIM) and click New.
  2. Give the product a Name and click Save.
  3. Click Convert to package.
  4. Click Configure package to add products.
  5. Add and configure the products, then click Save.

Create a package

To create a product package, go to Products (PIM) and click New. This product is the container that includes the package products and is the one shown in categories and so on in the webshop. When a package is purchased, the order rows include the products separately, the package isn't a single item in the order.

  1. Give the product a Name.
  2. Add a name in the name field of the product's items list. It can be a "-", for example. This is only needed to create the product.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Click Convert to package.

Now the fields relevant for the package remain. Here you give the package its product information, upload images, and so on.

  • Price , the price shown corresponds to the lowest price the package can be sold for. For example, if one product is 100 kr and another is 50 kr, the price shows 150 kr. If the 50 kr product is optional, the price shows 100 kr.
  • Stock , a package's stock is based on the included product with the lowest available stock.

Click Configure package to add the products the package should include, then click Add category.

A category can contain a single product or a collection of products, depending on how complex the package is. For example, a package with just a notebook and a pencil would have the notebook as one category and the pencil as another. For a simple bundle like this, the Category name, Description, and Optional fields often aren't relevant.

For a more advanced package where the customer chooses options, for example a poster and a frame where they pick which poster and which frame, the poster is one category and the frame another.
