Groups

A step-by-step guide detailing how to create, manage, and action product groups from within your Freewebstore Control Panel.

What are Product Groups

Product groups allow you to perform actions on all the items in a group. For example, you could create a group of products called "Christmas Specials" and apply a discount to all these products with a single click.

You can also create a new group of products and link them to a specific coupon/voucher code.

There are two different types of Product groups:

• Fixed Groups - These are the groups that you create yourself. These groups contain the products you select.

• Dynamic Groups - We create these groups depending on the current settings of the products in your control panel and any that you add. These groups are:

  • All Products

  • All Hidden Products

  • All Locked Products

  • All Products on Offer

  • All Products in Stock

  • All Products out of Stock
