# How to Manage Inventory for Limited and Unlimited Bundles

This guide explains how inventory is managed differently for **Limited Bundles** and **Unlimited Bundles**, helping you ensure accurate stock tracking when customers place orders.

---

### 🧷 Limited Bundle Inventory Management

**Limited Bundles** are built using Shopify's native variant system, so inventory management is consistent with regular Shopify products.

#### ✅ How It Works:

* Each Bundle combination is a real variant in Shopify.
* Inventory is managed directly in the Shopify admin.

#### 📦 Inventory Behavior:

* When a customer places an order for a specific Bundle variant, Shopify automatically reduces its inventory.
* If you **enable inventory sync** in the app:

* The Bundle’s inventory will be automatically set to match the lowest stock level among the bundled products.
* When a customer places an order:

* Each component product’s inventory is reduced by 1.
* The Bundle’s own inventory is also reduced by 1 to maintain consistency.

#### 🔄 Example:

You created a “T-shirt + Hat” Limited Bundle that includes:

* Red T-shirt (inventory: 50)
* Black Hat (inventory: 30)

After enabling inventory sync:

* The Bundle’s inventory will be shown as 30 (based on the lowest component stock).
* When a customer orders the Bundle:

* Red T-shirt and Black Hat inventory are each reduced by 1.
* The Bundle inventory is also reduced by 1.

### 🔓 Unlimited Bundle Inventory Management

**Unlimited Bundles** are not based on Shopify's native variants. Instead, they use the app's template to dynamically show bundle selection options on the product page.

#### ✅ How It Works:

* Customers select products or variants within the bundle on the storefront.
* The app adds each selected product as an individual line item in the cart.
* Shopify then processes and reduces inventory for each item as usual.

#### 🔄 Example:

You create a “Mix & Match Snack Pack” Bundle where customers can choose any 3 snacks.

* A customer selects snack A, B, and C.
* The app adds each item to the cart as a separate line.
* Shopify reduces the inventory of A, B, and C by 1 each.
