Brand admins can set up packs, which are predefined sets of units for specific sizes that are sold as one pack.
Example
For example, if a brand sells a performance sock in packs of 5 for sizes S and XL and in packs of 10 for sizes M and L, then when a buyer orders 1 pack per size, they are ordering 4 packs, which total 30 units.
If your brand has the price per size setting, the pricing logic doesn't change when specifying units per pack. Pricing is set at the size / unit level, not at the pack level. Using the above example, if each sock is $6.50, then the order total is $195 for 30 units.
| Order | Product sizes | Units per pack | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | S | 5 | $6.50 per unit | |
| 1 | M | 10 | $6.50 per unit | |
| 1 | L | 10 | $6.50 per unit | |
| 1 | XL | 5 | $6.50 per unit | |
| Totals | 4 packs | 1 product | 30 units | $195.00 cost |

FAQ
Q: When packs are ordered, does the inventory quantity reduce by the number of packs ordered or the number of units contained in each ordered pack?
A: Inventory adjustments for packs is at the pack level.
The Units per Pack number drives the number of units totaled and displayed in the Working Order for pricing and informational purposes (calculated as Wholesale Price x Units per Pack), but this does not impact inventory.
Since a pack is considered a size value, only 1 pack is deducted for each quantity added to the cart. Therefore, when adding inventory quantities for your packs, make sure you add the number of packs available to sell, not the number of units.
