How to Find Dynamic Product Groups in Shopware 6 

If you’ve entered your Shopware 6 administration for the first time, you may not know where dynamic product groups are situated. However, there is nothing special about their location. You can find dynamic product groups in Shopware 6 as follows:

1. Go to the main menu of your Shopware 6 admin;
2. Unfold the Catalogues section;
3. Click the Dynamic Product Groups link;

How to Add Dynamic Product Groups in Shopware 6

Adding a dynamic product group in Shopware 6 is simple and intuitive. From the screen mentioned above, hit the Add dynamic product group button.

The system redirects you to a new screen divided into the following two sections:

• General information;
• Conditions.

The first one lets you specify the name of your new dynamic product group and add its description.

The situation with conditions is a little bit more sophisticated but yet intuitive. The section is based upon containers that include dynamic rules. Below, you can see a basic container with a single unconfigured condition:

How to create rules for dynamic product blocks in Shopware 6

To create rules for dynamic product blocks in Shopware 6, you need to specify a base property. By default, it is Product. Let’s change it to Price.

Next, it is necessary to choose an operator. For the Price attribute, Shopware 6 lets you set one of the following values:

• Is equal to;
• Is greater than;
• Is greater than/equal to;
• Is less than;
• Is less than/equal to;
• Is not equal to;
• Range.

Let’s set ‘Is greater than’.

Now, specify the price value, creating your first condition that must be met.

All products with a price greater than 100 now belong to this Shopware 6 dynamic product group. You can check how the rule works by clicking the Preview button.

What about other control elements? Use the AND button to create more conditions. In this case, an item must meet all of them to belong to this group. 

You can also create a further condition using the OR button. In this case, only one of the two rules must be met for the item to belong to the group. 

As for the SUBCONDITION button, it creates rules that must be met along with the main container. You can create numerous sub-conditions with different relations to each other.

Also, note that the context menu on the right lets you create a new condition directly before or after the respective rule. Also, it enables you to delete the block.
