# Dynamic Product Groups

*Dynamic Product Groups* provide a smart way to automatically categorize products based on defined rules tied to product attributes. For Strum & Co., this feature is particularly helpful for managing promotions, highlighting best-sellers, or grouping products by specific criteria like price, category, or stock.

Once the rules are set, *Dynamic Product Groups* update automatically, ensuring that your catalog always reflects the latest criteria — perfect for a growing inventory of guitars, strings, and accessories.

Dynamic Product Groups range from basic setups to intricate configurations:

- **Basic Example**: Group all products under a specific price point.
- **Advanced Example**: Group products in the "Guitars" category, priced over $500, with a customer rating of 4+ stars and a stock level above 5.

These groups are dynamic by nature, meaning they adapt to changes in your catalog without the need for someone to manually refresh it. Products are automatically included or removed as their attributes change, saving time and ensuring consistency.

Dynamic Product Groups can be used to:

- Populate category pages.
- Create targeted product listing pages.
- Highlight specific products on your storefront, such as seasonal deals or best-sellers.

## Scenario: Spotlighting Accessories

Strum & Co. wants to promote affordable accessories for spontaneous purchases. To achieve this, create a new dynamic category, **Accessory Deals**, featuring all accessories priced at $25 or less.

## Benefits of dynamic product groups for Strum & Co

The automatic updates of dynamic groups mean less manual intervention:

- If you add a new accessory priced at $9, it will automatically appear in the **Accessory deals** category.
- If an existing product's price is reduced to $10 or less, it's added to the group seamlessly.

This feature ensures your storefront is always accurate and up-to-date, reducing the risk of errors while improving customer experience.
