  I am looking for a solution for a more complex stock management for a wholesale category on a wholesale/retail website I am developing and am hoping for a recommendation, Possibly a different route to solving this problem with a different plugin. The Product Bundle plugin is great – but was hoping to add multiple pre-set bundles within bundles without getting the error: “The selected product cannot be bundled.”

  Summary: What am I doing?
  The base product is a variable clothing product. The wholesale portion of the product can be bought in sets: Pack A, B, and C. Two of each size, in packs of 4 (all based around one product). I can easily create separate bundle product pages for Pack A, B, and C (But I want to combine them into one optional Per-Item Prices page; Hence bundles within bundles. The original product has 11 variables (which manages stock).

  What is being done

  Creating a Pack A product bundle is simple. I am filtering the variables: Size 1, 2, 3, and 4 (2 quantity each) for an entire pack a discounted wholesale price.

  Looks like this on the back end: http://screencast.com/t/Upc4PyB8a9FW

  Front End: http://screencast.com/t/Upc4PyB8a9FW

  The End Seen Product: Bundle Within Bundle
  What I am hoping to do is have a page to combine the Packs A, B, and C. So the customers can decide on which packs/combo of sizes to buy and how many, without having to go to every separate pack Page.

  The other method, which does not manage stock, was using the woocommerce “Product Add-ons”, but this does not manage any level of stock. It looks something like this on the front end: http://screencast.com/t/lXdtIsRDVq (which is essentially what I am hoping to reach with product bundles within bundles concept).

  Any recommendation or solutions would be very much appreciated.
