Managing Bundles Across Multiple SKUs Sharing an ASIN

As a merchant or warehouse admin on Hopstack, you can efficiently manage bundles across multiple SKUs sharing an ASIN. This feature helps maintain consistency and save time when defining or modifying Amazon bundles.

Currently, this functionality is available only for Amazon products due to the unique ASIN identifier. We plan to extend this to other e-commerce platforms as globally unique identifiers become available.

Functionality Triggers

There are two ways this functionality can be triggered:

1. User-initiated: When a user manually converts an existing product to a bundle or vice versa.

2. Integration-initiated: When a product flows in via Amazon integration.

User-Initiated Actions

Converting an Amazon Product to a Bundle

To convert an Amazon product to a bundle, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Product: Go to the product management section under the setup.

2. Convert to a Bundle: Select the action > convert to a bundle.

3. Add Component SKUs: Add the component SKUs to the bundle.

Once you perform these steps, the system will:

• Identify all other Amazon SKUs with the same ASIN.

• Prompt you with a message indicating the number of Amazon products that will be updated. It will inform you that if any product is currently defined as standalone, it will be automatically converted into a bundle.

• Upon your confirmation, convert all identified Amazon SKUs to bundles with the same component SKUs.

• Notify you of the successful bulk update.

Modifying an Existing Amazon Bundle

To modify an existing Amazon bundle, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Bundle: Go to the product management section under the setup.

2. Edit the Bundle: Select the action > edit.

3. Update Component SKUs: Modify the component SKUs of the bundle as needed.

Once you perform these steps, the system will:

• Identify all other Amazon bundle SKUs with the same ASIN.

• Prompt you with a message indicating the number of Amazon bundle products that will be updated with the new component SKUs.

• Upon your confirmation, update all identified Amazon bundle SKUs with the new component SKUs.

• Notify you of the successful bulk update.

Converting an Amazon Bundle Back to a Standalone Product

To convert an Amazon bundle back to a standalone product, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Bundle: Go to the product management section under the setup.

2. Edit the Bundle: Select the action > edit.

3. Remove Bundle Products: Remove the component SKUs from the bundle.

Once you perform these steps, the system will:

• Identify all other Amazon bundle SKUs with the same ASIN.

• Prompt you with a message indicating the number of Amazon bundle products that will be converted back to standalone products.

• Upon your confirmation, convert all identified Amazon bundle SKUs to standalone products.

• Notify you of the successful bulk update.

Integration-Initiated Actions

New Product Flows in via Amazon Integration

When a new product is received through the Amazon integration, the system will:

• If an active product with the same ASIN exists and is a bundle, the system will automatically convert the incoming product to a bundle and apply the same component definition as the existing bundle. You will be notified of the automatic bundle conversion.

• If no matching active bundle product exists, the product will be imported as a standalone item.
