Bundle: definition and role in PIM

In PIM practice, a bundle has its own record that references its component products and quantities. Some content is inherited from components, such as dimensions or compliance data, while the bundle carries its own title, description and images. Components stay sellable on their own.

Illustrative example: a garden retailer sells a starter set of a lawn mower, a spare blade and a grass catcher. Each item keeps its own SKU, and the bundle has a separate SKU, a combined description and a link to all three components.

In a selection, buyers should test how the PIM models bundles, how content and compliance data aggregate from components, and how channels receive bundles. Marketplaces handle bundles in different ways, so the export scenario matters. Stock and price for bundles usually come from ERP or commerce, so the integration design should cover them.
