Example
A team starter kit, ready in one click
Advanced Bundles Free sells fixed kits. You set the contents once, and every shopper gets the same complete set.
For example, your team starter kit holds one Blue, Medium T-shirt, one cap, and one bag. Shoppers add the whole kit with one click. The total is the sum of the current item prices, and each item keeps its own stock. The order lists every item for order review and refunds.
Want a larger version? Create a separate Complete kit bundle product with its own contents and product page.
Direct comparison
Fixed kit or configurable product?
A fixed kit has one recipe set by the store. A configurable product asks the customer to build the recipe.
| Question | Fixed product kit | Configurable product |
|---|---|---|
| Who chooses the contents? | The store owner sets every required product, exact variation, and quantity. | The customer chooses from available components or options. |
| What happens to stock? | Each component keeps its WooCommerce stock rules. The cart checks the combined quantity needed for each product. | Stock depends on the components the customer selects. |
| How is price calculated? | Advanced Bundles Free totals each component's current price multiplied by its quantity. | The total may change with selected components, options, or pricing rules. |
| Best fit | Repair kits, starter packs, and standard product sets. | Custom computers, cameras, gift boxes, and build-your-own products. |
