With City Hive, there are two different ways to create bundled items in your inventory for easy purchase:
Manually Creating an Inventory Item
See the instructions below for the various ways as well as how you can Showcase Your Gift Baskets after you have created them on the dashboard. If you have gift baskets or sets that are not attached to a UPC, this is the way to go.
1. Begin on your Inventory section and click (+) next to the search bar
2. You will see a drop-down of icons, click on (+) icon to create a New Product
3. From the new product page, you can add a name, description, and any relevant tags for your product. You can manually control the price and quantity, add an image, and input additional basket options under modifiers
3. From the new product page, you can add a name, description, and any relevant tags for your product. You can manually control the price and quantity, add an image, and input additional basket options under modifiers
Example: Let’s say you’re creating a Holiday Wine Basket. You can add the name, a description of what the customer will find in their basket, a tag for "gift basket" to make it easily searchable, and options for red, white, or mixed packages. Click save and boom! Your beautiful basket is ready for sale.
Using an Item with an Existing UPC
Already have a gift set or basket in your inventory? Often times, these items will share a UPC with their individual bottle counterparts. To pull both, we’ll need you to share the following information with support@cityhive.net.
- Item SKU and UPC
- Item Name
- How you mark the item as a gift in your inventory
From there, we can catch the items on the integration sync and create a unique product in your inventory for the gift set. Once created, you can adjust the pricing, quantity, image, and other relevant fields through the dashboard.
Showcasing Your Gift Baskets
You’ve built your baskets, what’s next? Below are a few ways you can promote them on your site.
- Create a Product Group and Page
- Create a Promo Banner
- Add to Your Top Menu (use the value /shop/?ch-query=gift+basket or whichever tag you choose to add to your product)
