Product groups are mainly used to group same/similar products, but with different variants, so the reviews are shared across the grouped products.
Here's the link to our video tutorial on setting up the feature: https://youtu.be/fOwYQvBnuXk
The groups feature is available on any paid plan.

Introduction
For example, if you have you want to share reviews between both Dresses you sell:
Midi Dress - https://stamped-demo.com/products/gathered-midi-dress
Puff Dress- https://stamped-demo.com/products/puff-sleeve-dress
If you visit the above product URLs, you'll see that the reviews for both of the products are shared on the product pages, meaning to say Midi Dress reviews will be shown on the Puff Dress product page, and vice-versa.
Deleting the group will not delete any reviews, the reviews will simply be unshared among the grouped products.
Setting Up The Groups

Allow Inclusion and Exclusion for Multi-directional Sync
It is possible to set up a group to allow certain products in it to show the shared reviews, this is usually used in cases where a one-way sync is required for bundle products. For example, getting a bundle product containing a shampoo and body gel to show the reviews from each of the body gel and shampoo product listings.
NOTE: This feature is only available for groups set up using product IDs.
You will find an additional column in the group interface with a tick and cross:
Tick symbol (✓): Reviews shared from the group will be shown in the product
Cross symbol (x): Reviews shared from the group will be hidden in the product
In the above example, reviews from all the indicated product IDs will be shared to 4408683200581, while the rest of the products in the group will show their individual reviews.
