Bundles Overview

Bundles are a product type that enables Distributors and Service Providers to package multiple recurring products or add-ons under a single Product SKU. This powerful feature streamlines the sales and billing experience, allowing you to offer complementary solutions together at more attractive pricing compared to purchasing each product individually.

Creating a Bundle

Bundle products are created in BSS and may be ordered via either BSS or the Marketplace. To create and publish a Bundle product, users define its properties, assign compatible recurring products and add-ons with pricing rules, manage visibility in the Marketplace, and optionally group it with other products.

Publishing a Bundle on Storefront 

To publish a Bundle on the Marketplace, you must enable the "Publish to Storefront" setting for both the Bundle and all its sub-products. Then, customers and tenant resellers can view and order the bundle.

Adding Bundles in Product Groups

Bundle products are capable of participating in product groups via the classical procedure of adding a product inside a product group. As a result, the BSS user is able to add a Bundle product in a product group.

Ordering a Bundle Product from Marketplace

After creating a bundle product, defining its complementary sub-products along with their pricing, and publishing the bundle to the Marketplace, your customers can now order it via the Marketplace.

Billing & Invoicing for Bundle Subscriptions

Upon completion of the order execution, the system will automatically generate an invoice to charge the prepaid Bundle product, calculated as the total of all its sub-products and add-ons. Since specific sub-products are assigned to the Bundle, their combined total determines the final unit price of the Bundle. As a result, the reseller or direct customer can clearly understand the cost breakdown through the invoice details.

Managing a Bundle Subscription in the Marketplace

After executing a Bundle order, a subscription is created—similar to standard product subscriptions. However, the key difference is that in a Bundle subscription, all associated sub-products and add-ons are invoiced through the main Bundle subscription and adhere to the pricing configuration defined for the Bundle.

Bundles Notifications and Reports

The Notifications, as well as the Reports of Bundle subscriptions, have everything in common with a normal subscription's notifications and reports except for the merge fields that are only applicable only to Bundles. 

Bundles and Tenant Resellers

Tenant resellers are able to utilize Bundle Products since Bundles are transferred from the Root organization during the creation of the Tenant's organization. Additionally, Tenant resellers can create their own Bundle products.
