Dynamic packages in Commerce Connect

In Optimizely Commerce Connect, you can group different items using packages and bundles.

  • Package: A package has one or more versions of a product (called variants) and possibly other packages. It has one SKU (a unique code) and one price. When you add a package to a shopping cart, it appears as a single item.
  • Bundle: A bundle is a group of packages, products, and variants, each with its price. Unlike packages, each item in a bundle appears separately in the cart, allowing customers to buy several items at once but treat each as its cart item


From EPiServer.Commerce 14.29.0 you can have dynamic packages

  • Dynamic Package (beta): This is similar to a regular package but gives customers more choices. It includes multiple products, each with one or more variants, and has a single SKU and price. Customers can choose which version (variant) of each product they want in the package. Like a regular package, it shows up as one item in the cart.

Dynamic Packages 

There are many use cases where dynamic packages help. A very common use case is when customers are selecting some internet service provider along with a phone line or TV, Telecom companies allow users to dynamically create packages based on their service needs, combining internet, cable, and phone services.

On a travel website, customers can create their travel packages by selecting a combination of flights, hotels, car rentals, and activities. This dynamic packaging enables customers to tailor their trip based on their budget, preferred airlines, hotel standards, and desired experiences.

The dynamic packages feature in Commerce Connect is currently in beta from 14.29.0. It is disabled by default.
