Create a product group

Overview

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. 
• Send true of null for the Enabled property.
• Use unique product group names. 
• 2Checkout throws an exception if you send a blank product group.
