Sell Product Packs on your Store

Summary

You can configure your RevolutionParts webstore or eBay store to automatically sell items as a complete pack. This configuration uses the “Sold in Quantity” field for each product to create a pack, which shoppers must purchase in full. 

When this configuration is turned on, shoppers can no longer purchase individual units of the item, only the entire pack. Pricing is adjusted automatically to be equal to the sold in quantity multiplied by the sale price of the individual unit based on your pricing configuration. Placed orders still show the count of individual units sold to ensure that inventory is relieved correctly. When an order line item is purchased as part of a pack, you will see a tag showing this. 

For example:

You’ve enabled Product Packs on your web store by setting “Product Pack Configuration” to “Sell products in packs of the sold in quantity.”

Product 123ABC is sold in a pack of 4 (In RevolutionParts the “Sold in Quantity” field is set to 4)

• Your cost for a single unit of 123ABC is $1.00
• Your pricing rules for this item are set to Cost + 10%
• With Product Packs enabled, shoppers can only purchase a pack of 4 for product 123ABC at a sale price of $4.40

Benefits:

1. No need to break open a pack and leave individual item(s) aging on the shelf
2. Increase your average order value without any additional effort
3. Increase total revenue for items sold in a pack

Shopping Experience

Shoppers in your store will see messaging throughout the shopping experience letting them know how many items are included in a pack.

Pricing is adjusted automatically to be equal to the sold in quantity multiplied by the sale price of the individual unit based on your pricing configuration. When the shopper purchases a single pack of the item, they are really purchasing multiple individual units (the sold in quantity).
