Creating a Grouped Product
A grouped product consists of two or more products from a catalog that are sold together as a pre-defined set, either for customer convenience or to offer a special price. Grouped products are tracked in inventory and can include any type of products (i.e., Simple, Grouped, Virtual). For example, consider a wholesale furniture distributor. While furniture items can be purchased separately, the distributor can group related products together into a furniture set, either for customer convenience, or to offer special deals.
In addition to grouped products, Liferay supports the creation of product bundles using Product Options. With options, you can define values that link the current product to other SKUs to be purchased together. The final price is calculated based on the option’s configuration. See Creating Product Bundles for more information.
Prerequisites
Before creating a grouped product, ensure you’ve already generated all the SKUs you want to group together. At minimum, each SKU should have a base price and sufficient inventory.
Create a Grouped Product
-
Open the Global Menu (
) and navigate to Commerce → Products. -
Click Add (
) → Grouped. -
Enter a name, and select a Catalog.
-
Click Submit.
This creates a new grouped product in the selected catalog with a single SKU, default. You can configure grouped products like other product types. See Product Configuration Reference for more information about general product settings.
Adding Product Entries
-
Go to the Grouped tab.
-
Click Add (
) and select the desired products. -
When finished, click Add.
The selected products are immediately associated with the grouped product and appears in the Grouped tab. You can edit each entry to manage its quantity and priority.
Once you’ve created the grouped product and associated other products, set a base price for the default SKU to make it available for purchase. This price replaces each product’s individual price.
