advantage:

1. Promote sales and increase profits

Product bundling can help increase sales and profits for each product, as well as reduce the cost of goods sold, thereby increasing profit margins.

Most or all of your needs, which is convenient for buyers, helps to facilitate the ordering of your products, and saves on shipping costs for your products.

4. It is helpful to clear the inventory. If the seller needs to clear some products, then it is also a good way to use bundled sales.

5. Not easy to be hijacked Creating your own bundled product branding with custom packaging can prevent other sellers from selling on your listings.
