# Manage Product Groups

Product groups let you apply special shipping rates to specific products (e.g., heavy items, fragile goods).

## Creating a Product Group

1. Go to **Product Groups**
2. Click **Create Group**
3. Enter group name (e.g., "Heavy Items")
4. Select products to include in the group
5. Click **Save**

## Editing a Product Group

1. Go to **Product Groups**
2. Click **Edit** on the group
3. Add/remove products or change the name
4. Click **Save**

## Deleting a Product Group

1. Go to **Product Groups**
2. Click **Delete** on the group
3. Confirm deletion

## Using Product Groups with Rates

When creating a shipping rate:

1. Create your rate normally
2. In the "Product Group" section, select your group
3. Optionally set a rate modifier (multiply rate by X)
4. Optionally add a flat rate addon (add \$X to the rate)

**Example**: Heavy items get standard rate × 1.5 + \$5 extra

## How It Works

* Products in groups get their group's special rates
* Products not in any group get the default "All Products" rates
* Each product can only be in one group
