Improved Mix & Match Data + Bundle-Friendly Shipping Logic

RESELLER FeedbackMix & MatchAssortment StrategyProduct Management

The "Mix & Match" tag reads as shipping consolidation but actually denotes a wholesale-discount tier — Mix & Match shipping is still charged per plant for larger items when the order is received. This makes large volume multi-plant bundles unviable at gift retail price points. I attempted to launch 10 office bundles in May — 9 had to be unpublished as loss-makers. Three asks: 1. A clear shipping_bracket field per product (today we hand-map shipping rules from pot size + height) 2. A bundle margin calculator API (cart spec → total landed cost) 3. Volume-break shipping — e.g. 5+ plants = -10%, 10+ = -20% per supplier Bundles drive 2-3× AOV. Currently merchants either avoid them, eat losses, or anchor at luxury pricing. Volume left on the table.

    Thanks, Robert. Part of this is possible now:

    1. The Reseller API product returns mixAndMatch, the measurements (height, pot size, weight, volume) and the shipping price per destination country. There is no separate shipping bracket field.
    2. POST /api/reseller/v1/pricing-calculate takes a basket (repeat a product ID for quantity), a country and a postcode. It returns the product total, the mix & match discount, shipping, handling fees and the grand total, split per grower. You can use it to price a bundle before you publish it.
    3. Tiered shipping discounts per grower (5+ or 10+ plants) do not exist.

    Please keep voting for the tiered shipping.

    Vooral "2. Een API voor het berekenen van de bundelmarge (winkelwagenspecificaties → totale kosten inclusief verzending)." zou hiervoor een mooie uitkomst zijn. Ik loop hier ook tegenaan. Ik kan de bundels wel zelf maken, wil dan gemakkelijk op een automatische manier willen weten wat dan mijn prijstelling moet zijn.
