# Understanding Product Groups and How They Work

A **Product Group** lets you link several related product listings together.
Instead of showing all products separately, you can display them as **options** (like colors, sizes, or styles) within one shared section.

When a customer clicks an option, they are **redirected to the corresponding product page** for that variant.
This makes it easier for customers to explore related products and find what they want—without manually browsing your entire store.

#### Types of Product Groups

There are **three types** of Product Groups:

1. **Single Option Product Group**
2. **Multi-Option Product Group**
3. **Subcategory Product Group**

Each one offers a different way to organize and display related product listings.

### **Single Option Product Group**

A **Single Option Product Group** links products based on **one attribute**, such as color or size.

**Example:**

You have a T-shirt available in red, blue, and green.
Each color is a separate product, but on the product page, you can show color swatches (or buttons) that link directly to the matching listing.
When a customer clicks “Blue,” they go straight to the blue T-shirt product page.

This setup is ideal when your products differ by just one key option.

### **Multi-Option Product Group**

A **Multi-Option Product Group** supports **two or more attributes**—for example, both color and size.

Each unique combination (like _Red–Medium_ or _Blue–Large_) is still its own product,
but customers can view and select these combinations directly within the same product group area.
When they click a combination, they’re taken to that specific product’s listing.

This is useful for stores where customers need to choose from multiple options.

### **Subcategory Product Group**

A **Subcategory Product Group** lets you organize options into **separate subcategory**, rather than mixing all options together.

**Example:**

For a jacket collection, you could have:

- **Light Colors:** Light Blue, Light Green, Light Yellow
- **Dark Colors:** Dark Blue, Dark Green, Dark Red

Each subgroup displays its own set of linked product options, making it easier for customers to browse related styles while keeping the layout simple.

- **Subgroup:** multiple sets of related options

By using Product Groups, you can keep your store layout clean while helping customers quickly find and compare related products.
