Quick answer
Expanded child SKU fulfillment writes component line items into orders so warehouses and 3PLs pick individual SKUs instead of an opaque parent bundle SKU. Kitforge stores a bundle_fulfillment_summary on orders for packing slips.
- Kitforge ships fixed kits, FBT widgets, and quantity breaks — each with theme app extension placement and Shopify Functions.
- Use the readiness checklist and live preview before activating on the storefront.
- Inventory-safe checkout and analytics are part of the workflow, not optional add-ons.
- Match the bundle type to the customer job: curated set, accessory upsell, or volume pricing.
What expanded child SKU fulfillment means in Kitforge
This matters for merchants who love bundle merchandising but need operational clarity at pick-and-pack time.
- fixed kit bundles — combine known products into one priced offer
- frequently bought together (FBT) — product-page add-on recommendations
- quantity breaks — tiered volume discounts when shoppers buy more units
Setup workflow
Kitforge uses a type-first editor with a readiness checklist before publish. Each bundle type has its own steps, but the operating loop is consistent.
- Confirm your fulfillment mode: parent only, parent plus summary, or expanded child SKUs.
- Test an order in your WMS or packing workflow before peak season.
- Share the component list format with your 3PL if they expect child SKUs.
- Keep bundle merchandising on the storefront while ops sees the real pick list.
