How to Create Magento 2 Grouped Products?

You can enhance the shopping experience in Magento 2 through the creation of grouped products, which allow customers to purchase a collection of related items together.

Below, we'll guide you through the steps of creating a grouped product in Magento 2.

What are Magento Grouped Products?

A grouped product in Magento 2 offers multiple standalone products as a single collection, making it ideal for selling related items like dining chairs or a tool kit. Unlike bundled products, these can be purchased in varying quantities, providing flexibility and enhancing the shopping experience.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Grouped Products

To create Magento grouped products:

Step 1: Log in to your Magento 2 Admin Panel

Log in with your administrator credentials to access your Magento 2 admin panel. 

Step 2: Navigate to the Product Management Section

In the Admin sidebar, click Catalog and choose Products. 

Step 3: Initiate a New Grouped Product

Click the Add Product button and select Grouped Product from the dropdown menu. 

Step 4: Enter Basic Product Information

Provide essential details for your grouped product:

• Product Name: Enter the name of the grouped product.
• SKU: Specify a unique SKU.
• Visibility: Set visibility to Catalog, Search to ensure the product is searchable and appears in the catalog.

Step 5: Enable the Grouped Product

Ensure that the grouped product is enabled and select an appropriate Attribute Set that fits the nature of the products you're grouping.

Assign the grouped product to a relevant category to organize it within your store's structure.

Step 8: Configure Product Quantities

In the Grouped Products section, specify the default quantity for each included product. This sets the initial quantity customers will see, though they can modify it, if desired.

Step 9: Set Stock Status

Verify that the Stock Status is correctly set for each product in the group to allow for proper inventory management.

Step 10: Define Additional Settings

• Stock Status: Ensure the grouped product is reported correctly to the inventory.

• SEO & Metadata: In the Search Engine Optimization section, add metadata to enhance search visibility.
• Promotional Options: In the Related Products, Up-Sells, and Cross-Sells section, add complementary products or promotions.

Step 11: Specify Website Availability
