Combined products in a kind of bundle

    Greetings all,

    I have an online WooCommerce site, selling products for the blind.

    I sell white canes which can be customised, kind of. Basically I have the following distinct products:

    1. Canes in different sizes(120, 125, 130 CM etc);
    2. Canes tips, that can be:
    – marshmallow
    – Roller
    – Ball

    The tips can be sold together with a cane, or separately.
    Now, a customer can chose the cane size and the type of cane tip. How can I interlink the inventory, so when I sell a customized cane with a specific tip it deducts from all the products inventory?

    For example:

    – I have 2X130 CM and 3 140 CM canes
    – I have 3 roller tips
    – I have 2 ball tips.
    – I have 3 marshmallow tips.

    Someone buys a 140 cm cane with a roller tip. It should deduct 1 from the cane and one from the roller tip inventory. Now I have left 1 140 CM cane and 2 roller tips.
    Customer 2 buys 2 roller tips. It should substract 2 from the tips inventory and now I have 0 roller tip.
    The product variation for 140 CM cane with a roller tip should become 0, because even if I have the 140 CM cane, i have 0 roller tips left.

    Makes sense?

    How could I achieve that?

    My website, if matters, is https://beindependent.ro

    Hi there,

    From your description, it sounds like the best option would be an extension such as Composite Products, which would let you bundle them together in a “kit”. You would create the cane as a variable product with the different sizes, and the tip as a variable product with the different types, and then you could bundle them together with the extension.

    The customer would then select the size for the “Cane” component, and select the type for the “Tip” component (optionally). You could also still sell the products separately as well, and all the inventory would be connected (purchasing as part of the composite product would reduce the regular product’s inventory).

    You can read more about the extension here:

    I hope that helps!
