Create Product Groups

Product Groups can used to Group products together. This is useful in a variety of ways including:

  • In Messenger you can filter based on whether a product is in a Group, allowing you to send Order or Subscription Messages only if Products are in a certain group.
  • In your Order form you can use Product Group to retrieve a set of Products easily just by using the Group
  • You can set Custom Properties against a Product Group. Those Properties would then be inherited by all Products that are in that Group
  • You can create Offer Codes or Coupons and assign those to a specific Product Group. That is an easy way to limit the Offer to any Products within a Group.

In order to Apply a Product to a Group you can either do this from within a Product, or from within the Product Group but first you will need to create a Product Group.

This will add the Product to the Group, and you can also remove products from the "Current Group Products" section by clicking the cross icon:
