About bundles

With Square for Retail Plus or Square Online Plus, you can bundle complementary items together to sell for a single unit price, often discounted. Create a bundle by adding up to 20 items, referred to as components. Bundles can even include non-sellable items, which are stockable items related to component inventory.

Bundling can boost sales, cut shipping costs, and help introduce new products. You will be able to track inventory on individual items whether they're sold separately or in bundles. You can create bundles in Square Dashboard and edit them in Square Point of Sale and the Square Retail POS app.

Before you begin
