What is customized product combinations?

In a Shopify store, it is a combination of multiple different products, which can belong to the same product category or different types, but usually have certain correlation or complementarity. Combinations can be created by sellers themselves, or they can use preset package templates provided by the Shopify platform. These templates can be flexibly customized and adjusted according to products and sales goals. Packages are divided into fixed and variable packages. Fixed packages usually contain a fixed number of items, while variable packages can automatically adjust their composition and price based on buyer selections or inputs.
