OVERVIEW
The purpose of this article is to help differentiate a Kit vs an Assembly.
Kits
Kits combine two or more items together to sell to a customer. Think of a Kit as a box to hold multiple items. The kit (box) is itself not an item and adds no value.
Assembly
Assemblies are used when you take multiple items and combine them to make a new item. An Assembly IS a new item and has added value to the separate items themselves.
Examples:
Kit - You sell computer parts. On your website you sell a computer with several kit options. When a kit purchase is made you would pick and ship the items chosen by the customer.
Assembly - You sell computers on your website. On your website a customer can choose which hardware they would like in their computer. When the purchase is made you would pick the items, assemble the items producing a computer and ship that computer to a customer.
