Version note: Bundle products require DMSI DDLS v2.1.0 or later.

Prerequisites #

Before creating a bundle product, make sure:

• The individual DDLS products you want to include already exist and have licensing enabled.
• You have decided on the bundle price and whether it will be subscription-based.

Step-by-Step Guide #

Step 1: Create a WooCommerce Product #

1. Go to WooCommerce > Products > Add New
2. Enter a product name (e.g., “Developer Pack”)
3. Set the product price in the General tab
4. Check Virtual (bundles have no physical shipping)

Step 2: Enable Licensing and Set Type to Bundle #

1. In the Product Data metabox, click the Licensing tab
2. Check Enable Licensing
3. In the DDLS Product Type dropdown, select Bundle
4. The Bundled Products selector appears below the dropdown

Step 3: Select Bundled Products #

The Bundled Products field shows a multi-select list of all available DDLS products (excluding other bundles — bundles cannot contain bundles).

1. Click the products you want to include in the bundle
2. Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) to select multiple products
3. The order of selection determines display order in the customer portal

Restriction: A bundle cannot contain another bundle. Only regular DDLS products (software, service) can be added.

Note: A bundle must contain at least one child product. An empty bundle will save without error but will generate no child licenses on purchase.

Step 4: Configure Subscription Settings (Optional) #

If the bundle should be sold as a recurring subscription:

1. Check Enable Subscription in the Subscription Settings section
2. Set the Billing Period (Monthly, Annually, etc.)
3. Set the Billing Interval if applicable

The subscription price is taken from the WooCommerce product price set in Step 1.

Important: The subscription is linked to the bundle as a whole. Child products’ individual subscription settings are ignored for bundle purchases. The bundle’s subscription setting governs all renewal behavior for the entire bundle.

Step 5: Publish #

Click Publish to make the bundle available for purchase.

After publishing, the bundle appears in DDLS > Products with a badge showing “Bundle · N products” (where N is the number of child products configured).

Editing Bundle Contents #

To change which products are in a bundle:

1. Go to WooCommerce > Products and edit the bundle product
2. Click the Licensing tab
3. Add or remove products in the Bundled Products selector
4. Click Update

Important: Changes to bundled products only affect future purchases. Licenses already generated from previous purchases are not retroactively changed.
