By default, WooCommerce comes with support for six product types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Simple product<\/strong> 2. Grouped product<\/strong> Example:<\/em><\/strong> Your product selection includes a current model iPhone and the following accessories: a tripod, headphones, a phone case, and a screen protector. These are all Simple products that you can add to a Grouped product and later market as an \u201ciPhone kit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/em><\/strong> Simple products made available through a Grouped product remain visible in the product catalog. To have a simple product available only as part of a grouped product, have its <\/em>Catalogue Visibility<\/em><\/strong> set to <\/em>Hidden.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. External\/Affiliate product<\/strong> Example:<\/em><\/strong> Instead of Add to Cart, you can set the button label to Order From Amazon, for example.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Variable product<\/strong> Example:<\/em><\/strong> Colors and sizes for a T-shirt.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/em><\/strong> You can have variations set as<\/em> Required<\/em><\/strong>. In this case, the product can be added to the cart only when the customer selects all its Required variations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Downloadable product<\/strong> Example:<\/em><\/strong> Can be used for selling software or sharing a link to a product manual.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Virtual product<\/strong> You can add various product types through plugins.<\/strong> Any plugin that serves a specific business model usually adds a Product Type. For example, a plugin for selling hotel bookings might add a Booking<\/em> type with features of its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By default, WooCommerce comes with support for six product types: 1.
