Product Groups Overview | Time-Saving Toolbox

0:01 Next on our time-saving list is one which most of you probably know about already. We're going to work here at Product Groups.
0:13 So Product Groups are just ways of grouping basically the the technical details of a product together. So things like the attributes that are specified, the pricing, the stock quantities and behavior, the tax information, all that, which is, well, most of which, which is normally found under your product
0:33 variant settings, which I'm sure most of you will be familiar with, you have the ability to transfer most of those to a product group, where you can assign multiple products to that group.
0:44 And what it means is that that information from the group will propagate down to all of the products within that group.
0:54 So let's take a look at that, very quick example. So I'll start off by looking at one of the individual products so we can see what happens.
1:11 If I go to my product variant and to edit, now most of you will be familiar that this is where you put things like the pricing and the tax and various other things.
1:20 But you'll see that the amount of options we've got now is a lot lower, is a lot smaller. And that's because this one is within a particular product group.
1:33 And that means a lot of its options are being controlled by that product group. I can go directly to its contained product group here.
1:41 And then you'll see a lot more options which you might be more familiar with from that previous screen, so things like attribute selections, pricing, and all the stuff I've mentioned.
1:52 How this saves your time, you can, if you need to make any changes, you can do so on this one particular area, and it will propagate down to all the things contained within it, rather than you having to make the individual changes on individual products.
