Product Bundling

Product bundling is a classic cross-sell technique. A set of three products costs less together than the sum of their prices, lowering the bar to purchase and raising cart value. Bundles work especially well in gifting, in entry-level segments, and for related components.

The technical challenge sits in data modeling. A bundle is more than the sum of its parts: it has its own descriptions, its own images, its own marketing arguments, its own SKUs. At the same time, the inventory of the individual products has to be correctly reduced when a bundle is sold. Poorly modeled bundles lead to overselling or inconsistencies.

Pimcore PIM models bundles as structured products with a component list. Bundle-specific attributes (bundle name, bundle description, bundle image) live alongside component references. Inventory links ensure correct availability, pricing logic calculates bundle prices dynamically or statically, and marketplace exports respect bundle-specific listing rules.
