How To Create Bundle Products in Magento 2

According to Magento docs,

Bundle product makes it possible for the customers to customize the products as their desire. Each item in a bundle can be based on Simple products or Virtual Products.

There are six product types in Magento 2:

1. Simple Product
2. Configurable Product
3. Grouped Product
4. Virtual Product
5. Bundle Product
6. Downloadable Product

Among these, The bundle product is quite similar to the grouped product in Magento 2 because it is possible to add more items to one product and sell it. Generally it contains products that are frequently bought together.

However, while your customers cannot choose among many attributes of things in the grouped products according to their needs, they can do it with the bundle products when many options are ready for their choices.

Simplistically, Using this product, one can sell the product as a kit, but contrary to a grouped product, you cannot skip any of its components. Products belonging to it cannot be sold separately, and you can only select which exactly options from offered you prefer.

An example of Magento 2 Grouped Product is a laptop where the customer can choose various monitors, processors, memory etc.
