Overview

If some products from your eCommerce store are sold in a quantity that is greater than 1 you can specify this in Omnivore using the Catch 'Product Quantity Multiplier'.  This is applied to the product in Omnivore using an Attribute.   


The two scenarios below cover how to 'show' the item has a quantity that is greater than 1 and how to set up bulk buys using our Bundle Feature.  Using the Bundle Feature creates a new 'bundled product' in Omnivore.


Product Quantity Multiplier 

  1. Login to Omnivore, click Products - On Catch, then the Catch Keywords/Attributes Tab.
  2. Search for the relevant products using a keyword or SKU.
  3. When you can see the products on the search page scroll across until you see the 'Quantity Multiple' field.
  4. Add a number into this field e.g. if the product is packaged with 5 in the pack enter 5 into the field.
  5. In the example below the product has a multiplier of 5.
  6. The order shows the quantity purchased as 1 item with 5 in the pack.
  7. Note: applying this Attribute in Omnivore does not adjust the price, any multiplier attribute that is set in Omnivore will simply distinguish a pack from a single item.

Bulk Buys and Bundles

  1. Login to Omnivore, click Bundles - Create New Bundle.
  2. Note the types, bundles and bundle bulk buys that are supported as explained in our FAQ.
  3. You would use our Bundle Feature if your products are not already in Packs (as mentioned above).
  4. The Bundle feature creates a new bundle product with the new price you set or the calculated bulk price based on the products that make up the Bundle.
  5. Continue to follow our complete FAQ on Bundles to learn more.




Important Points To Note:


Please consider the following potentials when using this Catch function.


  1. If you already have a product listed and you add a qty multiplier Catch may create a second listing so you will have the original listing and one with the multiplier.
  2. Omnivore will always send up the original product that has quantity 1 as well as sending up a product that has the multiple quantity.
  3. If you apply the qty multiplier it is good to do so when that product is not waiting to be approved. 
  4. The Catch portal will have two offers, the product that is quantity 1 and the offer that has the multiplier (eg 3).  It is a good idea to check both offers in Catch to ensure they are being updated.
