Rokt Catalog allows brands to sync products and inventory with retail partners. To ensure that inventory levels remain accurate across all storefronts, Catalog currently supports specific bundle configurations.
What are bundles
A product bundle is a merchandising strategy where multiple items are grouped together and sold as a single unit (SKU), often used to increase average order value or manage inventory.
Note: Rokt Catalog currently only supports bundles created via the native Shopify Bundles app.
Supported bundle types
- Fixed bundles: A pre-determined group of items sold together as a single unit. The components are static and do not change based on the variant selected. Example: A "Skincare Kit" that always contains 1 Face Wash and 1 Moisturizer.
- Multipacks: A bundle containing multiple quantities of the same product. Example: A "3-Pack of White T-Shirts."
Unsupported bundle types
- Variable / mix-and-match bundles: Bundles where the list of included components changes depending on which variant is selected, or where the customer manually selects components from a list. Example: A "Build Your Own Gift Box" where the customer chooses between a Candle (Variant A) or a Diffuser (Variant B).
Why are variable bundles not supported?
Rokt Catalog relies on a direct 1:1 relationship between a product listing and its inventory to prevent overselling. Because mix-and-match bundles change their components dynamically based on customer selection, they cannot currently be mapped to a single static inventory definition on a Partner's site.
Workaround: Splitting products
If you want to list a variable bundle on Rokt Catalog, we recommend splitting your variants into separate products:
- Create separate products: Instead of one product with multiple mix-and-match variants, create a standalone product for each unique configuration (e.g., create one product for "Candle Gift Set" and another for "Diffuser Gift Set").
- Sync as fixed bundles: Each of these new products functions as a fixed bundle with a static list of components, which is fully supported and ensures accurate inventory tracking.
