# Product groups/variations

Split product output into separate blocks with product groups — assign, display, and show them as tabs.

Groups are the simplest way to split product output into separate blocks — for example, a phone in one group and its accessories in another, or different colors and variations of the same product. (The other way to control exactly what a block shows is to bind specific products to it — see [Choose products](/frontend/gutenberg-blocks.md).)

## Assign products to a group

On the **Added** tab of the product manager:

* **In bulk** — select products, then pick a group from the dropdown, or choose **+ New group…** to create one.
* **Per product** — assign a group (or a new group) on a product's row, or in its **edit drawer**.

You can also assign a group **while searching**, using the syntax `keyword -> group name`. After the product is added, it's placed in that group automatically. This syntax also works for [auto-update keywords](/updating-products/updating-the-product-list.md).

## Display one or more groups

To show only certain groups:

* In the **CE Products** block, set the **Product Groups** filter in the block's Data Filtering panel — pick one or more groups. See [The Products block](/frontend/gutenberg-blocks.md).
* Or use the `groups` shortcode parameter, with several groups separated by commas:

```
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo groups="PlayStation 5 Digital,PlayStation 5 Disc Edition"]
```

See [Shortcode parameters](/frontend/shortcode-parameters.md#groups).

## Show groups as tabs

Special group templates render each group as its own tab automatically. Set the tab order with the `groups` parameter, and the tab style with `tabs_type` (`tabs`, `pills`, or `underline`).

```
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo_groups]
[content-egg-block template=offers_list_groups groups="PlayStation 5 Digital,PlayStation 5 Disc Edition"]
```

## Removing a group

To remove a group, simply unassign it from all products — once no product uses it, the group is deleted automatically.

## Static groups

If you want certain groups to be available for **all posts by default**, use the `cegg_static_product_groups` filter.

Add the following to your theme's `functions.php` (preferably in a **child theme**):

```php
add_filter('cegg_static_product_groups', function ($groups, $post_id) {
    $groups[] = 'Top Picks';
    $groups[] = 'Editor\'s Choice';
    $groups[] = 'Limited-Time Deals';
    return $groups;
}, 10, 2);
```
