Packs

MS: Packages helps sell products not only by individual units, but also by packs. It is useful for stores where the same product can be counted as pieces, boxes, bundles, cartons, or other package-based quantities.

Customers see clear quantities and prices on the storefront, while the store gets correct cart, order, and stock calculations based on the number of units in a pack.

Purpose

The add-on is designed for products that are sold in pack multiples while still requiring clear unit quantities for customers. For example, a store can sell a product by packs, show the unit price, and display the pack quantity in the cart at the same time.

Main features

• Sell products by piece, by pack, or in both modes at the same time.
• Configure the number of units per pack globally and for individual products.
• Choose how prices are calculated: per unit or per pack.
• Display pieces, packs, or both quantity types on the storefront.
• Choose which price is shown first on the product page.
• Automatically recalculate quantities when customers change pieces or packs.
• Check available stock based on the number of units inside packs.
• Display pack information correctly in the cart, mini-cart, and checkout.
• Support UniTheme2 and responsive checkout product list layouts.
• Bulk edit, export, and import pack-related product data.

How it works

1. The administrator sets general sale rules: default sale mode, units per pack, price calculation, and storefront display mode.
2. These rules can be overridden for individual products: the store can set a custom pack size and choose how customers change quantity.
3. On the storefront, customers change the number of pieces or packs, and the add-on automatically recalculates the related value.
4. In the cart and at checkout, customers see clear quantity controls, price, and line total, while the order is saved with the selected pack quantity.

Location in admin
