How Do I Group a Variable Product in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 13, 2023 @ 1:33 pm

When it comes to eCommerce platforms, WooCommerce is one of the most popular choices, especially for WordPress users. It’s a free plugin that turns a WordPress site into an online store. WooCommerce is flexible and scalable, making it ideal for businesses of all sizes.

One of the great things about WooCommerce is that it offers a lot of features out of the box. However, there are also plenty of extensions and plugins available to add even more functionality to your WooCommerce store.

In this article, we’re going to focus on one particular feature: grouping products in WooCommerce. We’ll discuss why you might want to group products, how to do it, and some tips on using product groups effectively.

Why Group Products in WooCommerce?

There are a few reasons why you might want to group products in WooCommerce. Maybe you have a large inventory and want to make it easier for customers to find what they’re looking for. Or maybe you want to upsell related products or create product bundles.

PRO TIP: If you are using a variable product in WooCommerce, it is important to group the product correctly. Otherwise, your product may not be displayed correctly on your website.

Whatever your reason, grouping products can be a helpful way to organize your WooCommerce store and boost sales.

How to Group Products in WooCommerce

WooCommerce makes it easy to group products together. There are two main ways to do it:

  1. Grouping products manually

You can manually group products together using the “Grouped Products” setting in the product data section when editing a product.

  1. Creating an automatic product group

You can also automatically group products together using the “Group Type” setting in the product data section when editing a product.

How Do I Group a Variable Product in WooCommerce?

As mentioned earlier, there are two ways you can go about grouping products in your online store built with WooComerce.

You can do so manually by going into each product individually and adding them into groups that way, or you can set up automatic groups based on certain criteria that will save you time in the long run.

If you have hundreds or thousands of products, then going through each one individually will take forever. Luckily, setting up automatic groups is easy and can be done right from within each product’s editing screen.

Simply select the “Group Type” from the “Grouped Products” dropdown menu and choose how you want your products grouped together.

For example, if you have a clothing store with different sizes and colors for each item, you could automatically group all size smalls together regardless of color or all colors together regardless of size.

This is just one example but hopefully it gives you an idea of how powerful this tool can be for streamlining your inventory.

So go ahead and give it a try on your next project!
