Understand Mix & Match

Mix & Match lets you combine multiple products from the same supplier into a single shipment, as long as the products fit in one box. Pick & pack and shipping are then charged per box instead of per product — which, when the combination works well, can give you significant bundle savings. The size of those savings depends entirely on which products you combine and how efficiently they fit together.

What it gives you

• Real bundle margin gains. When products combine well in one box, the per-product logistics cost drops sharply — sometimes a few euros per order, sometimes a lot more. The exact gain depends on the supplier's box, the product dimensions, and which combinations you choose. The more you stack into one box (up to its limit), the better the per-unit economics.

• Unique product combinations no one else offers. This is one of the strongest ways to differentiate on a marketplace where multiple resellers source from the same suppliers. Two retailers can sell exactly the same SKUs and still build completely different bundle propositions tailored to their shop's positioning. Mix & Match makes that possible — and profitable — by aligning the logistics math with the bundle.

• Automation potential. Once you know which combinations are physically possible per supplier (the smart_shipping flag plus the product dimensions), you can automate a lot: dynamic bundle generation, "complete the box" cart prompts, AI-driven cross-sell recommendations on your storefront. The structured per-product data is what makes that kind of automation reliable.

• Higher average order value. Bundle deals, quantity breaks, and "complete the box" prompts that respect the box logic are genuinely profitable to run — not just marketing tactics with thin or negative margin.

Where you see it

On the Everspring marketplace, eligible products are marked with a green Mix & Match label on the product card. Products from the same supplier with the same label can be combined into one shipment, as long as they physically fit in one box.

The rules in one line

Mix & Match works only when (a) all products in the order come from the same supplier, (b) the products are smart-shipping eligible, and (c) the combined products fit in one shipping box. Once a box is full, a second box (with its own pick & pack and shipping fee) is added — that's where the bundle math changes.
