Management of derivative products

With bindCommerce it is possible to manage, in addition to single products or those with variants, also derivative products.
As derivative products, all those items sold in the form of kits are considered, therefore with more units per actual item.

In bindCommerce it is possible to establish rules of derivation, without having to act within the external product archive.

For example, we could decide to create a kit of plant accessories consisting of several items present in the warehouse.
When the kit is sold on the sales channels, the quantities in stock of the individual products included in the kit will be reduced independently.

This feature can also be very useful for increasing sales during offer periods or special holidays such as Christmas, to offer customers packages of pre-established items, perhaps taking advantage of the automated use of discounted prices.

It is possible to take advantage of the management of derivative products even in the case of multipack items, for example in B2B sales channels dedicated to wholesale.

Among these possibilities, there is also that of managing articles that can be assembled or made up of several components, ie other products.

The derivative products, as well as all other types of articles, can be published massively or individually, on one or more sales channels at the same time, thanks to the use of scheduled procedures.

The configuration for the management and creation of derivative products can be performed independently by following the instructions available in the relative technical tutorial Derivatives.
