What are Bundle Products?

You can see an example for the bundle product in the following image:

The bundle product is a bit similar to the grouped product in Magento 2 because it is possible to add more items to one product and sell it. However, while your customers cannot choose among many attributes of items in the grouped products according to what they want, they can do it with the bundle products when many options are ready for their choices. Simply put, bundle products are grouped products with build-your-own options.

Go to the bundle product detail page, when your shoppers click on “Customize and Add to Cart” button, the selection of options in the bundle will be shown instantly. They can choose only one attribute including SKU, Size, Price or Weight for each option.

Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) is not available for Bundle products with dynamic pricing.
