Kitting

Assembling multiple individual products into a single packaged unit for fulfillment.

Definition

Kitting is the process of combining multiple SKUs into a single bundle or kit — either for a product bundle, a subscription box, or a promotional offer. Kitting adds complexity to fulfillment but enables powerful AOV and CLV improvements.

Why It Matters for Shopify Brands

Kitting enables product bundles that increase AOV by 10–30%, while also simplifying the customer experience. However, kitting introduces ops complexity — component inventory tracking, assembly time, and packaging complexity.

Benchmarks

Kitting adds $0.50–$3.00 per unit in 3PL labor costs depending on complexity. Brands that sell bundled kits typically achieve 15–25% higher AOV than single-item sales.
