<h2>Allow customers to create public or private groups:</h2>
<p>With Group Buying for WooCommerce, you can allow your customers to join or create either a public or private group.</p>
<p><strong>Public group:<br />
</strong>Public groups are available for all customers in your store. Other customers can participate in the group by purchasing products at a discounted group rate.</p>
<p><strong>Private group:<br />
</strong>The private group is visible to selected users only. While creating a private group, your customer can add the email addresses of multiple people and send them an invitation to join his group by purchasing products at a discount rate.</p>
