Tables allow you to group similar products together, so that you can manage them more efficiently. Tables are for your use only. Your customers cannot see your tables, how products are grouped into tables, your table names, or your table descriptions.

Using the Manage Tables section of the Products tab, you can create, edit, and delete tables from your product catalog.
