How To Create Grouped Products in Magento 2

According to Magento docs,

A grouped product is a collection of related simple products with the same theme or colour.

There are six product types in Magento 2:

1. Simple Product
2. Configurable Product
3. Grouped Product
4. Virtual Product
5. Bundle Product
6. Downloadable Product

Among them, A grouped product presents multiple, standalone products as a group. You can offer variations of a single product, or group them for a promotion. Each product in a grouped product can be purchased separately or as a group.

This flexible product type allows you to offer variations of a single product, or group products to create a coordinated set such as by season, by colour, or by another theme.

An example of Magento 2 Grouped product is a furniture set or camera set. Suppose we have a product named Digital Camera, then we can offer relevant grouped products like memory card, camera kit, and tripod. In short, we can present our other products with the main product and It’s the best way to advertising our related themed products.
