Product groups serve the following purposes:
- Custom grouping for end users on the built-in account self-care interface that comes with PortaBilling/PortaSwitch. This allows users to easily locate add-ons available for self-sign-up within their respective groups.
- Relevant product display on the CloudPBX Self-Care Portal. When customers create accounts of specific types, product groups ensure that only relevant products are shown. For example, when adding a new extension, customers will only see products intended for extensions, and they won’t accidentally choose a product for an auto-attendant or a fax mailbox.
