Situation #
You sell Loose Leaf Tea (or other herb products) in various pack sizes:
- 50g
- 125g
- 250g
- 1kg
In Shopify, you must specify quantities for each pack size variant, but this doesn’t accurately reflect your actual inventory. For example, if you have 20kg of tea available, it can be divided into:
- 400 packs of 50g (20kg in total)
- 160 packs of 125g (20kg in total)
- 80 packs of 250g (20kg in total)
- 20 packs of 1kg (20kg in total)
Setting quantities individually for each pack size can result in a total inventory that’s higher than what you actually have (e.g., 80kg instead of 20kg).
Furthermore, since all pack sizes draw from the same inventory, choosing 1 size should deduct from the available quantity of others. However, Shopify treats each pack size’s quantity separately.
These challenges highlight the need for a solution that accurately manages inventory across all pack sizes.

Solution #
To address this issue, consider implementing the following solution:
- Create a base product: This product serves to set the initial total inventory available. It remains hidden from the storefront.
- The initial inventory of this base product will determine the quantities available for each visible Loose Leaf Tea product option displayed on the storefront.
- It will reflect the actual remaining inventory. When a visible product is purchased (e.g., the 50g option), the inventory of the base product will be adjusted accordingly.
- Updating the inventory of the base product will automatically adjust the inventory of other pack size options (125g, 250g, 1kg).
- Create Bundle Groups in Easify Inventory Sync: Establish connections between the base product and the visible Loose Leaf Tea products using Bundle Groups. This ensures that changes in inventory are synchronized accurately across all pack sizes.

Results #
Once your Baby Gift Hamper bundle group is set up, inventory synchronization will begin.

- Topknot Cotton Hat: decreases by 1
- Sweetsicle Elephant: decreases by 1
- If Animals Kissed Goodnight” Board Book: decreases by 1
