3 From the Product Type dropdown list, select the required product type, as
follows:
Select the Simple product type to select a simple product. In most cases your
product will have the Simple product type.
Select the Grouped product type to create a new grouped product using one or
more existing products that will be displayed on one single product details
page, as follows
Step 1: The store owner creates several products with the Simple
product type.
Step 2: The store owner creates a Grouped product and assigns these
Simple products in the Associated products tab.
In the public store, the customer sees a separate Add to cart button for
each associated product on the Grouped product details page. A Simple
product could be associated to only one Grouped product.
Grouped products are not directly orderable. However, associated
Simple products are. For example, a customer cannot order the Creative
Sound Card product directly. The customer must order an OEM or
Retail version of the Creative Sound Card. Therefore, in this case, the
Grouped product is a Creative Sound Card, and there are two
associated Simple products for this Grouped product: OEM and Retail,
each with potentially different prices.
4 Select the Visible Individually checkbox if you do not want Simple products
associated to a Grouped product to have a separate product details page.
5 From the Product Template dropdown list, select the Simple Product or
Grouped Product template option. You should be the same as your product type.
6 In the Product name field, enter the name of the new product.
7 In the Short description field, enter a short description of the product.
8 In the Full description field, enter a long description of the product.
9 In the Admin comment field, enter a comment for information purposes.
10 From the Vendor dropdown list, select the product vendor.
Note: This is useful when using the multi-vendor functionality.
For further details refer to Multi Vendor Support.
11 Select the Show on home page checkbox, to display the product on the homepage
of the store. If this checkbox is selected, the store owner can also specify the
Display Order.
