This lets brand owners create ‘virtual’ bundles made up of two to five complementary ASINs, which are purchased from a single detail page. This allows brand owners to offer bundles without packaging items or changing FBA inbound inventory.
Seller Eligibility
This feature is only available to sellers who own a brand. The seller must be internal to the brand and responsible for selling the brand in the Amazon store. If you do not have access to this feature, you have not been identified as a brand owner. Visit the Brand Benefit Eligibility page to identify as a brand owner and access virtual product bundles and your other brand-exclusive benefits.
Requirements
How to be eligible and added to a virtual bundle:
- ASINs need to belong to a brand that you own and that is registered in the Brand Registry.
- ASINs must have an active FBA inventory in ‘New’ condition.
- The following cannot be included in virtual bundles: gift cards, electronically delivered products (digital music, videos, and books), and renewed/used ASINs.
- Product bundles can be created only in the US Amazon store.
- Red pen (2pcs)
- Red pen (1 pc) + blue pen (1pc)
- Red pen (4pcs) + blue pen (7 pcs)
Pricing
Product bundles can be priced lower than or equal to the total of the products in the bundle. The most successful bundles typically offer attractive discounts.
If a bundle price exceeds the sum of its component’s prices, the bundle will lose Buy Box eligibility. Bundle prices will remain the same even if the price of a component changes; it is the seller’s responsibility to monitor the bundle price and update it if component pricing changes.
How To Create a Virtual Bundle on Amazon
