Create a bundle product
A bundle product is a way to group several products under a parent product. These child products can be a defined set of products or offer a few variations that provide flexible configuration options for customers. Bundle product types do take a little longer to set up, and you must do some planning before you configure them. However, offering bundle products improves the shopping experience by making it easier for customers to customize their product selections.
For example, you can offer a product bundle called Learning to surf in your web store. The bundle is the parent product that serves as a container for the assigned child products that specify available options:
- A standard surfboard
- A typical surfboard leash
- Red surfboard fins
When additional flexibility is desired, to allow for several options of child products is recommended. This requires a more complex use of options and child products. To expand on the previous example, the final options are:
-
A standard surfboard
-
A typical surfboard leash
-
Choice of fin color:
- Red
- Blue
- Yellow
Whether the bundle is a static group of simple products or several products with variations, the flexible configuration options make bundle product types a unique and powerful merchandising tool for the Adobe Commerce store.
Before creating a bundle product, verify that all the simple products to include in the bundle product are available in Adobe Commerce. Create any that do not exist.
In this tutorial, learn how to create a bundle product using the REST API and the Adobe Commerce Admin.
Use the REST API to define a bundle product:
- Create simple products for use in the bundle product.
- Create a bundle product and associate the simple products.
- Get the bundle product and all the associated options.
- Delete an option from one section of the bundle products.
- Restore the options for a bundle product.
When creating bundle products from the Adobe Commerce Admin, you can either create the simple products first, or use the automated tool to create simple products using a wizard.

Delete an option from a bundle product
Remove a child product from a bundle product without deleting the product from the catalog by sending the following DELETE request using cURL.
curl --location --request DELETE '{{your.url.here}}/rest/default/V1/bundle-products/beginner-surfboard/options/35/children/blue-fins-and-fin-plugs' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{Your Bearer Token}}' \
--header 'Cookie: private_content_version=41d94540f5bd8b691017a850bc3b82b3'
Restore product options
When updating bundle product options, make sure to include all the options you want to associate with this product. If your original set of options contained three products and one was removed, include all three options in the POST request to ensure that the product bundle specifies all the options. If you included only the option you removed, then the updated product bundle includes only that option.
Locate the option ID by reviewing the response from creation for the bundle product. In the that response, the option_id is 35.
