Overview

Groups are used to bring products together.

You can group all the products on a selection of products to create a theme, for example a collection of products on the same Christmas theme.

Groups types are required to create a product group in Settings/Groups. 
There is no default group. Akeneo advises to create a default group type with code “RELATED”.
