Composite products are for designing more complicated items that are comprised of several elements.
A common example of a composite product would be a meal deal. This product will have a meal item, a side and a drink. The customer will have several choices for each element. First we need to build a meal item product line group, a side product line group and a drink product line group. Then we need to link them together in a composite product.

The price set here will be the total that will be charged for this composite product.
