Use the bundle [is_bundle]
attribute to indicate that you’ve grouped a main product with other, different products, sold together as one package for a single price.
This attribute lets us show your product in the right situations by distinguishing your product from manufacturer-created bundles, multipacks, and other products without accessories.
