Creating and Viewing Virtual Combo SKUs

Creating and Viewing Virtual Combo SKUs

In a virtual combo multiple items are bundled together and sold to a customer. 

Retailers often sell their product in virtual combos as it helps them in removing their idle stock in boosting sales. 

Creating combos in EasyEcom will also make it easier for you to manage the inventory. The inventory count will be automatically reduced whenever the combo or any of its components is sold. 




In EasyEcom you can easily create virtual combo SKUs in bulk or one-by-one by following the below-mentioned procedure.
