Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

It is quite common that a bottle of drink have a retail price (for example $1) and also a package price (for example $10) if customer buy a full box (12 bottles in this box).
In broadleaf it seems product bundle is the solution.
In this sample, the only difference between single bottle and a full box is quantity and price, but unfortunately，product bundle will create an entirely new product, and share nothing with the old one (that means we should copy a lot of informations).
This also make it hard for user to switch because they are two different product.

What is the best solution for this problem?

1. Create the first product (Bottle) have it listed for $1. This also creates a Sku for this bottle; whenever you create a product you are also creating a Sku (this is not something that is super obvious)
2. Create a product bundle
3. In the list of Bundle Items, look up the Sku that you created originally to put as a bundle item. Give it a quantity of 12
4. Decide on your "Pricing Model", either Item Sum or Bundle:

a. Item Sum - 'override price' for that item in the bundle to $0.83. You can't really get an exactly $10 unless you do 11 bottles at $0.83 and 1 bottle for $0.84
b. Bundle - set the price of the Product Bundle that you just created to $10

Usually item sum is the way to go so that you can see the value of what each item is for returns etc. If you just use bundle pricing (where you set the price of the bundle directly on the bundle itself) then Broadleaf will do those calculations for you.
