Products - Create / Use Kit SKU (Discounting by Quantity Purchased)

Written By Ascend knowledge base (Administrator)

Updated at December 2nd, 2024

Kits are used to sell specific products that are bundled together using a single SKU. For example, configure a kit if the customer is required to buy the advertised quantity of product (e.g. buy one, get one half price).

When a kit is sold, only the discounted products display on the customer’s receipt.
