When a customer adds a bundle to the cart, BundlePilot creates:
- One parent cart item — represents the bundle product. Carries the full bundle price. Displays a “Bundle” badge and an item count summary.
- One child cart item per selected product — each has a price of $0 (to avoid double-counting), shows an “Included” label (configurable), and has its quantity locked (not editable individually).
This structure means:
- Cart count shows the bundle as 1 item, not N+1 items.
- Removing the parent automatically removes all its children.
- Restoring the parent (via WooCommerce “Undo”) automatically restores all children.
- Child quantities cannot be changed independently — customers must remove the bundle and re-build it.
