# Groups/Bundles

There may be cases where you would like to sell certain products together without it being a new product all together, or you want to sell boxes of 2,3,4 items while not wanting to have to manage different amounts of stock for the same thing.

This is where groups/bundles become a useful tool to employ. Groups work as a psuedo-item that contains multiple other items/quantities deepening on what you want.

**Create a Group**

This is super simple, as it's just the first step of create normal inventory.

1. Select Inventory on sidebar-navigation
2. Press [**Create Inventory**](https://onlinefulfilmentsandbox.myhelm.app/inventory/create)
3. Fill out the form  
    Add a Name. e.g. Starter Bundle  
    A SKU  
    Item Type: Group  
    Batching Type: No Batching (each item without could be batched, but a bundle doesn't need to be)

This will redirect you to the new group's inventory page

**Add Inventory to the new Group**

From the Group's inventory page

1. Click **Add Inventory**
2. Select the individual item from the dropdown, and set the quantity you require
3. Press **Add Link**
4. Repeat the above for each item in the Group

We're all done. These groups will count as items, and if we update your marketplace with stock levels, will also update the stock levels fro the group SKUs you have. These levels will however be calculated based on how many of these groups can be created with the remaining stock of each of the inventory items within in. So if you need 2 of something for a group, but only have 1 in stock, the groups stock will show as 0 for your customers.
