Welcome aboard! Here is how to get started with Connected Inventory.
We are delighted that you have chosen to work with us, and we look forward to working with you. This article contains some helpful information to help you get started.
Connected Inventory essentially allows you to define how the inventory of one product (or variant) is related to other product (or variant). In order to fully utilise this app, we will need to go through two important concepts: Inventory Groups and Bundles and Sets
1. Inventory Groups
Inventory Groups are collections of existing products (or variants) used to share the same inventory quantity.
When one of the product (or variant) in an Inventory Group is sold, the app will reduce the inventory quantity of all other products (or variants) of the same Inventory Group.
Inventory Group is especially useful for merchants who had created multiple products (or variants) on Shopify; but they all needs to draw (or share) on the same base inventory.
There are 2 ways to create Inventory Groups: Manual Inventory Group or Automatically by SKU field

2. Bundles and Sets
Companies usually sell bundles for a lower price than they would charge if the customer bought all of them separately. Pursuing a bundle pricing strategy allows you to increase your profit by using a discount to induce customers to buy more than they otherwise would have.
With the app's Bundles and Sets feature, you can combine two or more products (or variants) together and sell as a bundle on Shopify. In addition, you can (optionally) sell the products(or variants) as an individual item.
