Create a bundle with the wizard
Pick what you are making, add your products, see a live preview, and publish. The wizard builds an ordinary bundle you can still edit by hand.
New in 4.6.0. The wizard is the fastest way to make your first bundle. It is not a separate kind of product: everything it creates is a normal bundle, identical to one built by hand, so nothing is locked in to the wizard.
Where to find it
You can open the wizard three ways:
- Products → Create a bundle in the admin menu. A “New” badge marks it while it is fresh.
- When you add a product and set the type to Bundle, a one-time popup offers the wizard. Dismiss it and it stays dismissed.
- A quiet “Prefer a guided setup?” link in the Bundle panel while you are creating a new product.
The three steps
1. What are you creating?
Pick a recipe. The recipe pre-configures the layout, pricing and structure, so from there you mostly just add products.
- Discounted set (free): a few products sold together for a percentage off.
- Fixed-price kit (free): a set of products for one simple price.
- Buy X get Y, Configurable kit (customers pick each part), Gift set and Build-your-own box are added by the Builder Pro.
2. Products
Add the products the bundle contains.
- Always included items are in every order.
- A customer’s choice slot Pro lets the shopper pick one from options you set.
- Products with variations are labelled “has options” in the search, so you know when a customer will be choosing a size or colour.
- The Build-a-box recipe reshapes this step into “how many can they pick, and from which products”.
3. Review and create
- The name is suggested from your first product. Edit it, or leave it.
- Add an optional short description, a main image and a gallery.
- Adjust the layout and price inline, with a live preview beside them so you see the result before you commit.
- Choose Publish to put it live, or Save as draft to keep working later.
Not sure yet? At any point after adding a product, Finish in the editor instead saves what you have as a draft and opens the full product editor. You lose nothing.
Good to know
- The preview is faithful. It renders the real bundle. Interactive layouts (Step by step, Configurator) are set in the editor, so the wizard offers the two layouts it can preview truthfully, List and Grid.
- Nothing is special about a wizard bundle. It writes through the product editor’s own save, so pricing, cart, checkout, stock and import/export all behave exactly as for a hand-built bundle.
- The wizard creates; the editor edits. To change a bundle later, open it in the full editor. Everything the wizard set is right there, ready to adjust.
