How to Create Magento Grouped Product (Less Than 10 Minutes)

Often, store owners take advantage of group products to present, advertise and sell many kinds of products on one page, along with a good price. Thus, the chance of your customers buying more products will more likely increase. Besides, the product type helps customers find good matches more quickly than browse your website to get each item. This will sure improve customer satisfaction.

1. Product Name: Enter the name of the product
2. SKU: Use the default SKU or enter the new one.

• Catalog: Make the product visible on the Catalog page
• Search: Make the product visible on the Search page.
