Your customer doesn't care how Shopify is set up, that's why we allow you to group products as if they are variants of one another, even if in Shopify they aren't.
This allows you to merchandise complex catalogs in easy-to-understand ways to your customer without needing to make changes to Shopify or do a big catalog refactor.
Why Group Products Together?
Not to be confused with bundled products, a Virtual Product is a way for you to take multiple products that are related to one another and decide how those products should be sorted from a list of options you provide to the customer.

Instead of showing countless product options, these brands have simply organized the full list of products into one Virtual Product.
