Overview
The package option feature is used to tell the software that an item will be available for use in a product package, and what price this item will sell for when it is used in a package.
A package is a product that is made up from groups of items. Customers are given choices from at least one group of items, and the price of the package is automatically calculated based on the customer's selections.
This feature is ideal to offer:
- An optional warranty
- Product upgrades
- Customizable product bundles
In order for a product to be used in package, it must first be added as an item.
Once the item is created, at least one item package option must be defined before it can be used in a package. An item's package option is defined by specifying the retail price that the item will sell for as a part of the package.
