**In short:** a variety pack is a pack of exactly N units (6, 12 or 24) that the shopper fills in any mix of flavours, sizes or colours, with repeats allowed: mango × 2, lemon × 3, mint × 1. In WooCommerce, [Nanflows Bundles Pro](https://nanflows.com/products/nanflows-bundle) has a variety pack type for packs of 2 to 99 units, and stock comes off each flavour picked.

If you sell something in flavours, the most common question is “can I get a mix?”. A variety pack is the answer: a pack of exactly 6 (or 12, or 24), filled however the customer likes. Mango × 2, Lemon × 3, Mint × 1.

## Variety pack or mix and match?

They look alike. The difference is repeats and size:

- A **variety pack** is exactly N units, and the same flavour can be picked as many times as the shopper wants. Think of a case of drinks.
- **[Mix and match](https://nanflows.com/blog/woocommerce-mix-and-match-products)** picks from different products, with a minimum, a maximum and an optional limit per product. Think of a box of chocolates where you want variety enforced.

If your products are flavours, sizes or colours of the same thing, and people often want several of one, use a variety pack.

## Setting it up

1. **Bundles → Create Bundle → Variety pack.**
2. Add each flavour, size or colour customers can mix.
3. **Items in one pack:** shoppers fill the pack with exactly this many, in any mix. From 2 to 99.
4. **Price it:** a fixed price per pack, a percentage off, an amount off, or no discount.
5. Pick the pages and publish.

## Picking the pack size

**Match your packaging.** If your cases hold 12, the pack is 12. Your fulfilment team will thank you.

**Offer two sizes if you can.** A 6-pack to try and a 24-pack for people who already know what they like. They’re two bundles, and a page can show up to three.

**Price per unit should improve with size.** If the 24-pack costs the same per can as the 6-pack, there’s no reason to buy it.

## Where variety packs work

- **Drinks:** cans and bottles, kombucha, cold brew.
- **Coffee and tea:** pods, sachets, sample bags.
- **Snacks:** bars, chips, sauces.
- **Supplements:** protein flavours, single-serve sachets.
- **Socks and basics:** colours of the same style.
- **Candles:** mini sizes of every scent.

## Pricing ideas

- **Fixed price per pack:** “Any 6 for $15.” Clear, and it makes the unit price easy to compare with buying single cans.
- **A percentage off:** works when flavours have different prices, such as a premium flavour at $3 and the rest at $2.50.

## Stock, flavour by flavour

Every flavour uses its own stock. When one sells out, it shows as out of stock and can’t be picked, but the pack can still be filled from the others. That’s an advantage over selling a fixed “assorted 6-pack” as its own product, which would need its own stock count. See how bundle stock works.

## Sell your first pack

- **[Nanflows Bundles Pro](https://nanflows.com/products/nanflows-bundle)** has variety packs, and mix & match for when each item should be different. $39 a year for one site, or $149 for up to five, and a first purchase can be refunded within 14 days.

## FAQ

### Can a customer pick all six of one flavour?

Yes. A variety pack has no limit per flavour. If you want one, use [mix and match](https://nanflows.com/blog/woocommerce-mix-and-match-products) with “Most of the same product” set.

### Can I use variations of one variable product?

Add each flavour, size or colour the customer can choose. They can come from variations or from separate products.

### Is it in the free plugin?

No, variety packs are a Pro bundle type.
