A common merchant question
Why can a bundle still look available when one of its items is out of stock?
Practical answer
Check that Shopify tracks each item, that the correct location can fulfil the order and that the product is not set to keep selling after stock reaches zero.
How Kaijuu helps
Kaijuu places the items needed for the bundle beside their location stock, making the source of the shortage easier to find.
Start with item settings
Confirm each required variant tracks quantity and is active at the location used for fulfilment. A continue-selling policy can exclude an item from the bundle calculation.
Look for broken relationships
Renamed options, replaced variants and competing inventory apps can leave a relationship stale. Compare the bundle definition with current item IDs before rebuilding it.
Business example
A spa set looks available because one product is inactive
The set needs one soap and one towel. Both have stock, but the towel is not active at the fulfilment location.
| Product | Stock | Active at location |
|---|---|---|
| Soap | 12 | Yes |
| Towel | 8 | No |
- Check quantity tracking
- Activate the correct towel at the location
- Place a test order and review the result
