Lightspeed - How to add composite product

A composite product is made up of specified quantities of one or more existing standard products or products with variants.


For products that are purchased in bulk and sold in a smaller size. During the training in June we promoted 'composite' products, but it turns out that variants is the right way. However, composites are still used, but in a different way. 

  • Variant = same product but sold in different package sizes eg box of 8, box of 4, single bottle. Create/edit the parent product and add the variants. 
  • Composite product = product that is purchased as 10kg and sold in 1kg is a 'composite' of 0.1kg of the parent product. 

Do not change the SKU codes as this is important for ecommerce (future).
