Group, variant, and assemble your catalog without creating chaos.

Why item grouping matters

A T-shirt that comes in Small, Medium, Large, and XL is one product — not four separate listings. If you create a separate product record for each size, your catalog becomes cluttered, stock tracking becomes a nightmare, and your team has to search through dozens of near-identical entries to find the right one when processing an order.

Nexlymate's item grouping treats variants as what they are — variations of the same product — and keeps them organised under a single parent record.

What you can do

• Create a parent item and add multiple variants — each with its own price, SKU, and stock level
• Define variant attributes: size, colour, weight, volume, material, or any custom attribute you need
• Each variant tracks its own inventory independently — running out of Medium does not affect Large stock
• Assemble composite products from existing items — a gift box containing three separate products becomes one SKU in your catalog
• Create bundles with custom bundle pricing separate from the sum of the individual item prices
• Manage all variants and assemblies from the same product record without switching screens

How it looks on your storefront

On your customer-facing store, grouped items appear as a single product with a variant selector — a dropdown or button group that lets customers choose size, colour, or any other attribute. The product page updates to show the correct price, stock status, and images for the selected variant. Customers experience a clean, professional product page rather than having to find the right listing from a list of near-identical products.

Assembling composite products

A composite product (or kit) is a sellable item that is made up of other items in your catalog. For example: a Skincare Starter Kit that contains a cleanser, toner, and moisturiser as separate stock units, sold together as one unit. When a kit is sold, Nexlymate deducts the correct quantity of each component from their individual stock levels automatically — so you always know your true inventory position.

Benefits for order processing

When an order comes in for a variant or a bundle, the order record clearly shows exactly which variant was ordered — size, colour, and all — so your packing team cannot pick the wrong item. Composite products show the component breakdown so packing is unambiguous regardless of how many items are in the kit.
