Automated Seasonal Bundle Suggestions
Every Monday, WebRun checks Google Calendar for the season or holiday coming up in the next few weeks, opens Rain POS to find yarn on hand that fits it along with a popular pattern to pair it with, and posts you a Slack list of ready-to-merchandise project bundle ideas.
How do I turn yarn on hand into seasonal project bundles?
WebRun checks Google Calendar every Monday for the season or holiday a few weeks out, then opens Rain POS to find yarn on hand, especially slow movers, that fits the theme and pairs well with a popular pattern. It posts your team a Slack list of ready-to-merchandise bundle ideas, so seasonal displays come from stock you already own.
- Slow yarn gets a seasonal reason to move
- Merchandising ideas arrive weeks ahead of the season
- Nothing is listed for sale without your team's decision
Built for yarn shops · needlework stores · fiber retailers · shop merchandisers

Questions, answered
Will it create the bundle listing on its own?
No. WebRun only suggests the yarn, pattern pairing, and a price in Slack. Your team builds and lists the actual bundle. Nothing is listed for sale without a person.
How does it pick which yarn to bundle?
It favors yarn on hand that fits the season or holiday ahead and is sitting slow, so the suggestion helps you merchandise stock you already have instead of ordering something new.
Where do the pattern pairings come from?
From your own class and pattern catalog in Rain POS, so every suggested bundle pairs yarn you stock with a pattern your shop already teaches or sells.
