# Product Group sub-categories

✨Demo product: [Sub-catagories group](https://optis-color-swatch-variant.myshopify.com/products/entremet-cake-lapin-de-lune) (password: 1)

Split a large Product Group into smaller sections to make product options easier to browse on the storefront.

## How it works

* **Create sub-categories to organize products into sections.** Each sub-category acts as a separate section within your Product Group.
* **Each product can belong to only one sub-category.** Products you don't assign to a sub-category will remain in the main group.
* **Sub-categories appear as separate sections on the storefront**, with the same order you set in the app.
* **Changing a sub-category name does not delete its products.** The products remain in the group, but if the sub-category is renamed or removed, those products move back to **Ungrouped**.
* **Don't need sub-categories?** Your Product Group will continue to display as one flat list, just like before.

## How to set it up

1. Open a Product Group → enable Sub-categories toggle

2. Create sub-categories and assign products

Add a name for each sub-category, then select the products you want to include. Repeat this for as many sub-categories as you need. Any product you don't assign will stay in the main group
