Virtual Products

To make it easy to pack all the items in a kit, iPacky has a functionality called Virtual products. Virtual products can easily remind you which products should be included in kits and prevent mistakes. It allows the shop to define a product in their store that consists of other products.

Even though iPacky has a built-in functionality, we recommend the use of the app Bundles. It’s much more powerful, updates the inventory and integrates perfectly with iPacky. The built-in one in iPacky will not update the inventory of member products, but Bundles will.

Example:

The main product “Phone charger kit – White” has the following members:

1 x 24V charger plug – White
1 x Wall plug – White
2 x USB-C cable – White

In this case, the “Phone charger kit – White” is not a physical product, but a collection of other products.

In iPacky, this virtual product is set up with the member products. When an order contains “Phone charger kit – White”, the member products must be scanned and packed in iPacky. This makes sure that the kit is completely packed without any missing components.

Member products can still be sold separately, or instead only available in a kit. If only included in a kit, these can be hidden in the store, so they are not available for purchase outside the kit.
