Creating packs

Create a pack

In Cartrella → Bundles → Create pack:

1. Pack name — "SheaX". With multiple sizes, products are named "SheaX — Pack of 2", "SheaX — Pack of 4".
2. Pack type — Same product × N for a fixed pack.
3. Select the product to pack — the base product shoppers receive.
4. Pack sizes — one row per size you sell: items in the pack and the pack price. The per-item price shows as you type ("$18.00 per item").

A new pack starts as a draft — nothing is on your storefront yet.

Publish

Publish does everything in one step:

• creates one pack product per size (priced at the pack price, tagged cartrella-pack, inventory untracked — components carry the stock),
• publishes them to your Online Store,
• activates the checkout expansion.

The pack row shows Live with a storefront link per size.

Edit

Edit reopens the pack. Saving a live pack republishes automatically:

• surviving sizes update their existing products in place (same URLs),
• removed sizes have their products archived,
• new sizes get new products.

Prices on the storefront follow within seconds.

Unpublish and delete

• Unpublish archives the pack products and disables expansion; the pack stays in Cartrella as a draft.
• Delete does the same and removes the pack from Cartrella.
• Products you adopted are never archived — Cartrella only manages products it created.

Inventory notes

Pack products carry no stock of their own — components do. When a component sells out, Cartrella automatically takes the pack off your storefront (the pack product goes to Draft), and when you restock, it comes back on its own. No manual unpublishing.

Packs built on adopted products are the exception: Cartrella never changes an adopted product's status, so stockout handling for those stays in your hands.
