Hi,
It would be nice to have VAT splitted in static product bundles extension if products have not same VAT rates.
Product bundles extension is almost great for what I want to do, but I cannot use it because of accountancy issues:
I would like to create a static bundle product with a physical book and cards, and of course a discount.
The issue is that in France (and not only), books and other products have different VAT rates.
Book : VAT = 5.5%
Cards (or other products, even downloadable book) : VAT = 20%

Example:
Book = 30 € (incl VAT 5.5%)
Cards = 20 € (incl VAT 20%)

Bundle product Book + Cards = 40 € instead of 50 €

I don't care about displaying or not the single products prices, even it could be an option to display them or not.
What I suggest is that in the bundle product, we add the prices of single products INSIDE the bundle on the product page.
Thus, it would be easy for you to calculate the VAT amounts.

Bundle product:
- Book = 26 € (incl VAT 5.5%)
- Cards = 14 € (incl VAT 20%)
Total = 40 €
and in cart:
VAT 5.5% = 1.35 € (corresponding to the book)
VAT 20% = 2.34 € (corresponding to the cards)

Of course, we could have several products with same VAT amount inside the bundle product :
- book A (VAT 5.5%)
- book B (VAT 5.5%)
- cards (VAT 20%)
- pen (VAT 20%)
then the VAT amounts would be calculated like this:
VAT 5.5 = VAT Book A + VAT Book B
VAT 20 = VAT cards + VAT pen

exactly the same as if we add different products with different VAT rates in cart.

Thanks

We have a shipping staff, helping us to manage the orders packing and shipping. We don't want to give him full access to the backend, because we don't want he knows our turnover, or destroy something by a mistake. Also we don't want to give him access to change product pages, or anything else of the shop.

Right now we manage the backend capabilities with WP "user role editor" plugin, made a new user rule and gave the capabilities so he can go to the backend, open and manage orders.
But it doesn't work proper.
What we need is a way which blocks all at the backend, except what needed for manage shipping:
- View and manage orders (best with a good visible product picture, or direct link to frontend product page, if staff need to have a look on what exact is ordered).
- manage stock (but not edit products)
- print invoice, shipping label
I guess this could be helpfull for many growing shops.

It would be great if single products contained within product bundles could include a quick view option to open the product in a modal window. Currently the options are (a) Click on the single product thumbnail which opens the image in a lightbox (b) Click on a link to open the single product in a new window. I feel it would improve the UX if users were able to view the details of products included in a bundle without having to view a new window. It would be good to have an option to attach quick view to the product thumbnail, title, or a separate quick view button/link.

I'd like to add product bundles to another bundle. What's the scenario?

Say, I offer several diagnostic programs, each of which consist of items like vision test, spirometry, counselling, etc. as simple products.
I want these items at a fixed price.
Now these items are NOT optional in the respective bundle. They are priced individually, so the bundle product reveives an automatically calculated price derived from its items.

On the next level I want a single order item, which goes along with Tyche's appointment plugin. This is a product bundle, too, but its bundled items are those product bundles described above. In this case, the bundled items are optional and chosen by the user. Via individual pricing this top level bundle receives its total net price from the lower level bundles' prices.

Ideally the total duration can also be derived from the simple items' total duration, but that would be Tyche's issue.

Allow bundling on already existing items (including variable products.)

Scenario: Already have an existing variable product, and would like to add the option to have other products bundled with it. Currently you have to add a completely new Bundle Product, then add those existing products into it. This complicates matters.

It would be nice to simply allow us to add commonly purchased items on to an existing product. You can sort of do this with the Bundle-Sells feature, but it's rather limited. You can't use variable products and you can't edit the display (hide description or price or specific quantities, etc.)
