Overview
Bundles are a great way to increase the basket size of your customers cart. In this FAQ, you'll learn there are 3 different types of bundles that you can create in TradeRunner.
Types of Bundles
Bundle Type 1: One SKU with multiple quantities for example, a bottle of water with a quantity of 6
Bundle Type 2: Multiple SKUs with a single quantity of each for example, a blanket, a rug and a cushion
Bundle Type 3: Multiple SKUs with single or multiple quantities for example, a blanket, a rug and 3 cushions
How to Create a Bundle
- Go to Bundles - Create New Bundle in the left hand nav.
- Complete the form fields:
| Field Name | Description |
| Bundle Name | The name of the bundle that will be shown on Trade Me i.e the Product Title - this defaults to the name of the first product in the bundle if this is left blank. |
| Product name template | Leave this blank unless you want to optimise the product title with key words such as Brand. |
| Bundle Short Description | The Short description on Trade Me. |
| Bundle Detailed Description | The Long description on Trade Me. N.B. Trade Me does not support the use of HTML here. |
| Bundle Image URL | Please provide the image in a URL format. If you do not add a URL we will use the image from the FIRST product added in the bundle. |
| Bundle weight | This is important if you have weight based shipping set up. Add a weight if you want weight based shipping to apply. Make sure the weight is in the same units as your other product weights. |
| Start Date | Leave blank if you want this bundle to start immediately, otherwise the bundle will start when the next scheduled feed to Trade Me occurs. |
| End Date | Leave blank if you want this bundle to continue indefinitely |
Sell Amount | The price of the bundle |
| Bulk Buy | Check this if you want to offer bundle type 1 (as above) - one sku with multiple quantities. |
Bundle Type 1: Single Product, Multiple Quantity (Bulk buy)
- Complete the fields in the table above and make sure you check 'Bulk Buy'
- Enter the Quantity of the product in the bundle and the SKU.
- Click Create Bundle
Bundle Type 2: Multiple products, Single Quantity
- Complete the fields in the table above
- Enter the SKUs for each product in the bundle. These need to be added on each single line - no comas or semi colon's required.
- Click Create Bundle
Bundle Type 3: Multiple products, multiple quantity
- Complete the fields in the table above
- Enter the SKUs for each product in the bundle. In this example, the bundle will consist of a blanket, a rug and 3 cushions. These need to be added on each single line - no comas or semi colon's required.

Final Step:
- After the bundle is created, it will be treated like any other product. e.g it will need a Trade Me Category assigned to it so that it lists on Trade Me.
- Choose a category and then click upload to Trade Me to list the bundle immediately.
Bundle Products as Orders
If you have a Bundle Type 1, you will see the order come through with 'Quantity' = to the number in the bundle. e.g for this order with 10 units in the bundle:
If you have a Bundle Type 2 or 3, you will see the order come through with the price for each pro-rated amongst the products and their initial sale price.
