Product Groups

Learn how to group related products to display shared reviews and Q&A

Updated over a month ago

Overview

Product Groups allow you to combine related products into a single group so their reviews and Q&A content are displayed together. This is ideal for:

  • Product variations (e.g., different sizes or colors)

  • Kits and bundles

  • New product launches that benefit from existing social proof

When products are grouped, their reviews and ratings are aggregated and shown in core widget areas to boost credibility and reduce review fragmentation.


Why Use Product Groups?

  • Combine feedback for color/size variants into one display

  • Share reviews between bundled and individual SKUs

  • Seed new product pages with reviews from similar existing products

⚠️ Only group truly related products. Grouping unrelated items (e.g., mugs and sunglasses) can create confusing or irrelevant review experiences.


Creating a Product Group

  1. Go to Catalog > Product Library > Product Groups

  2. Click Create Group

  3. Enter a Group Name (e.g., "Kids Sunglasses")

  4. Use the Product Selection field to search by product name or SKU

  5. Click Add next to any product you want to include

    • If a product is already in a group, it will display as “Already in Group”

  6. Click Save to activate the group

A product can only belong to one group at a time


Display Behavior

Once saved, grouped products will:

  • Display aggregated reviews, star ratings, and Q&A content in:

    • Product Page Review Widget

    • Star Rating Snippets

    • Featured Products

    • Rich Snippets (structured data)

  • Pool all reviews equally — there is no weighting by source product


Managing Product Groups

  • Edit a Group to add or remove products at any time

  • Remove a product to stop it from contributing to shared content (its reviews will return to its original display)

  • Delete a Group to break up the grouping entirely — reviews will revert to their respective product displays

⚠️ There is no undo for deleting a group. Use this action carefully.


Blacklisted Products in Groups

  • If a product in the group is blacklisted, its reviews and Q&A are excluded from display

  • The blacklisted product still remains visible in the group management UI


Syndication vs Grouping

  • If a product is both grouped and has a Syndication ID, syndicated reviews will take precedence — but only in widgets that support syndication


Limitations & Notes

  • A product can be in one group only

  • Each group supports up to 75 products — contact support to request more

  • There is no UI indicator in the Products tab for grouped products

  • Group membership is only visible via the Product Export CSV

  • Display changes may require up to an hour to reflect due to caching


Bulk Group Creation (Admin Only)

RaveCapture admins can bulk import product groups via CSV:

  • Format: group name, product sku

  • Each row links a product to a group

  • Products must exist in the Product Library prior to import

To request a bulk import, contact support with your formatted CSV.


Best Practices

  • Only group products with genuinely shared customer experience

  • Use descriptive group names for clarity

  • Keep your group sizes manageable to simplify updates

  • Audit groups periodically to confirm accuracy
