Overview
Product Group allows users to create sets of products
Product Group
Product group feature is used to create sets of different products and place them all together on the frontend. This is useful for venues that have several of the same product but of different brands.
For example, Gin comes in a variety of brands. Instead of showing them all separately, Users can create a product group called “Gin” and add in the different gin products such as Aviation Gin, Gordons Gin and Tanqueray Gin. This keeps the frontend view tidier, simpler and shows more products within the same frame.
BackPanel Set up
Product Group can be accessed by clicking “Products” on the left side within the backpanel dashboard. On this page, click the
button in the top right and a new window will appear. The page will display as a normal product initially.
Click “Product Group” underneath the title to change this. It will remove the following fields from the page:
Bepoz product ID
Default price
Export codes
Product sizes
These fields are discarded as product groups do not sync with bepoz products and do not need these attributes. The two functions, product selection and product list are added. Alternatively, an existing product can be used as a product group by double left-clicking a row on the Products page and then pressing “Product Group”.

If a customer clicks a product with multiple sizes, then they will appear below the item and they can make a selection by clicking the box next to the size.
