What are Bundle Products?

You can see an example for the bundle product in the following image:

The bundle product is a bit similar to the grouped product in Magento 2 because it is possible to add more items to one product and sell it. However, while your customers cannot choose among many attributes of items in the grouped products according to what they want, they can do it with the bundle products when many options are ready for their choices. Simply put, bundle products are grouped products with build-your-own options.

Go to the bundle product detail page, when your shoppers click on “Customize and Add to Cart” button, the selection of options in the bundle will be shown instantly. They can choose only one attribute including SKU, Size, Price or Weight for each option.

Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) is not available for Bundle products with dynamic pricing.

Differences between Bundle Products and Configurable Products in Magento

Bundle products and configurable products are frequently confused due to their shared feature of enabling customer choices, yet they differ in essence.

• Configurable products: streamline various product versions into a single frontend item, facilitating customer selection without extensive catalog browsing.

• Bundle products: enable the combination of different items, allowing for diverse levels of customization, including fixed bundles or fully customizable options.

Configurable products suit the sale of variable items like t-shirts and jackets, available in diverse colors and sizes. In contrast, Magento bundle products are ideal for selling assortments, making them ideal for packaged products.

Ex: In the yoga gear market, a customizable product bundle of mats, foam rollers, and gym balls can be created. This allows customers to select their preferred yoga mat design, foam roller style, and gym ball size from preset options before making a purchase.
