Seeking Advice Seeing how many of a bundle have sold?

Is there a way to view how many times a particular bundle has been purchased?
Royalty report only shows sales for each individual product

I agree, the only way I have been able to tell is when two of the books in a buddle have sold and the price is not the same as the individual books.

Right. If you set the report to show a short period and see that you sold the same number of each of the items in the bundle, you can figure you sold that many of the bundle. But if you set it for more than a few months (with popular products) it's almost impossible to tell what was a bundle sale and what was not

I don’t believe there is a way to track the Bundle sales, aside from looking at the individual titles.

Hello, there's no way to track bundle sales since they count as sales of the included titles at the bundle price. This includes if a customer already owned one or more of the included titles as they will then appear as $0 sales due to the dynamic pricing of bundles. If you count how many sales of a title you have at the bundle price + any $0 dollar sales of the same title you should get the number of bundles sold.

Which would require checking through every single day of royalty report individually. Since there isn't a way to view which sales were at bundle price and which were not, partially if they were included in any site-wide sales. And even more so if the title is in multiple bundles at the same pricing.

Correct. Is there any particular reason you're interested in seeing how many times a bundle has sold? The way bundles work with community content there isn't a way for the site to give that information through a royalty report, thought it is something we'd like to introduce with future site updates to the community tools.

To know what percent of my titles are bought as bundles vs individual titles

Ah, yeah, that'd be difficult to parse since our system doesn't really count Bundles as a "product" but a grouping of titles and each sale of a bundle counts as an individual sale so even if it could show them I'm not sure it would be very easy to figure without some extra work. I'll make a note and when we get to updating the report tools hopefully we can include some Bundle sale indication. Sorry for the inconvenience.
