What is the Grouping Option?

The Grouping Option setting determines which product option (such as Color, Size, Material, etc.) Fabrikatör should use as the default display option for a product group. This affects how your products are displayed and organized throughout the Fabrikatör interface.

Why is Grouping Option important?

Setting the appropriate Grouping Option helps:

  • Organize your products in a way that makes sense for your business

  • Make inventory management more intuitive

  • Improve how products are displayed in reports and dashboards

  • Streamline the purchase order creation process

How to set a Grouping Option for a product

  1. Go to the Product Configuration Page by clicking on "Configure" > "Products" in the left sidebar

  2. Find the product you want to update using the search bar or filters

  3. Click directly in the Grouping Option column for that product

  4. Select the desired option type from the dropdown (e.g., Size, Color, Material)

  5. The change will save automatically

Note: If no default option is set, the first option selected in Shopify will be shown

Choosing the right Grouping Option

Choose the option that:

  • Is most important for inventory management

  • Makes the most sense for your purchasing workflow

  • Aligns with how your suppliers organize their products

Examples of Grouping Option in action

Example 1: T-shirts

  • Options: Color, Size

Example 2: Phone cases

  • Options: Model, Color

  • Recommended Grouping Option: "Model"

  • Result: Products will be primarily grouped by phone model, with colors as sub-options

How Grouping Option affects the Fabrikatör interface

When you set a Grouping Option, it affects:

  • How products are displayed in the Product Configuration Page

  • The organization of products in Purchase Orders

  • Default display options throughout the interface

Tips for effective Grouping Option management

  • Set consistent Grouping Options across similar product types
