# Create product group

Use the **addProductGroup** method to create product groups for your account:

* Send **null** for product group **Code**. 2Checkout ignores any values you send for **Code** and generates identifiers itself.
* Use unique product group names.
* 2Checkout throws an exception if you send a blank product group.
* If you send only the name of the product group 2Checkout creates the new product group entity.
