Meal deals are a combination of products with a fixed price.

For example, you could create a meal deal that contains a burger, drink, and dessert:

🍔 Choose your burger (meal deal section)

Cheeseburger (product)
Fishburger (product)
Chickenburger (product)

🥤 Choose your drink (meal deal section)

Cola (product)
Orange juice (product)
