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. 

Creating Virtual Combos in Bulk

Once you click on it Create Virtual Combo pop-up will appear:



First select "Virtual Combo" radio button, and then click on the “Save Template” button. 

Once you click on it an excel file will be downloaded in your system. 



In this file enter the Parent SKU and its components. 

If there are multiple products then enter “&” after the SKU name and then the SKU quantity. Syntax:  “SKU&Quantity”.  For example,if you have an SKU named GreenBottle in the combo which has 5 quantities, the syntax will be “GreenBottle&5”.

Then click on the “Choose File” option to select this file from your system and then upload it by clicking on the “Upload” button.
