Use the multipack attribute to indicate that you’ve grouped multiple identical products for sale as one product.
This attribute lets us show your product in the right situations by distinguishing it from manufacturer-created multipacks, bundles, and other products.
Note: The multipack attribute refers to multiple identical products that you, the retailer, combine for sale. The example above shows three packages of pens, which are grouped together to form a three-pack multipack. This is considered a retailer-defined multipack and its value (3) should be used for the multipack attribute.
Each package in the example contains four individual products (pens). This four-pack of pens is defined by the manufacturer and its value (4) should not be used for the multipack attribute. The multipack attribute is only to be used for retailer-defined multipacks.
