Reusing Variations when combining Products

    We sell tires front and rear for vehicles.

    We have individual products for front and rear and also have duplicated those products to create single product that includes the front and rear tires. And all of those products include multiple variations.

    The problem we have is keeping track of inventory separately for each individual product and the combined products. We list the same product multiple times on the website to create different combined products.

    Is there a way to combine the individual products and be able to reuse the variations for each product so we do not have to keep track of inventory for each individual product? So this way the inventory is updated automatically for each variation that is being used multiple times.

    Hi @tonyrwest

    That’s a great question. As I understand it, you are trying to combine multiple products (rear and front tyres) and sell them as a single product. You’ve created new products to do this right now, but this results in inventory syncing troubles. Did I get that right?

    The best way to go about this would be to use one of our official extnesions called Product Bundles. This extension allows you to ‘bundle’ individual products (even products with variations) into a single product, and even set a completely new price for the same. When someone purchases a bundled product, the variations involved in each bundled product, are altered as well.

    You can read more on Product Bundles here:
