You may want to link inventory of products in your Fan Packs to the standalone products that are included within them. Here's how to do that!
Step-by-step instructions
- Create a standalone physical music product in Shopify (if you don't have one created already)
- Create a standalone merch product in Shopify with your variants (if you don't have one already
- Create a product called “Fan Pack” with the same variants as your merch product
- Deselect "Track quantity" for each of your variants
- Install an app that lets you combine inventories across multiple products
- Example - https://apps.shopify.com/connected-inventory [Please note, Single is not affiliated with this Shopify app and chose it strictly for tutorial purposes]

- Create a new “Bundle Group”, selecting the products from step 1 - 3
- Choose the “Fan Pack” product as the BUNDLE MASTER
Warning: Shopify's app "Shopify Bundles" will NOT work for fan packs. This app does not combine inventories for products by SKU, but rather breaks a purchase of a fan pack into individual line items. No fan pack sales will report if you use this app.
Warning #2: This setup will allow you to oversell your merch or music products, even if you have "continue selling when out of stock" disabled.
That’s it! A purchase of the “Fan Pack” product will reduce the inventory of the “physical music” product and “standalone merch” product by 1 each.
