WooCommerce product types:
- Simple Product:
- A simple product is the most common and easily understandable product type in WooCommerce.
- It represents a unique, stand-alone, physical product that you may need to ship to the customer.
- When creating a simple product, you can set its price, SKU, and stock details.
- Example: Books.
- Grouped Product:
- A grouped product is a cluster of simple products combined to form a single entity.
- The grouped product itself won’t have a price or other features.
- Its identity is created by multiple child products, each with unique features.
- Customers can purchase any of the child products individually from the grouped product.
- Example: A set of six glasses.
- Virtual Product:
- A virtual product is not a physical entity; it’s a digital product.
- No shipping is involved for virtual products.
- Examples: E-books, software licenses, or online courses.
- Downloadable Product:
- Similar to virtual products, downloadable products are digital items.
- Customers can download them after purchase.
- Examples: Music files, software, or design templates.
- External/Affiliate Product:
- An external or affiliate product is not directly sold on your website.
- Instead, it links to another website where the actual purchase occurs.
- Useful for affiliate marketing or promoting products from other vendors.
- Variable Product:
- A variable product has variations based on attributes (e.g., size, color).
- Each variation can have its own price, SKU, and stock level.
- Example: T-shirts with different sizes and colors.
Apart from these default WooCommerce product types, you can also create custom product types using plugins. Some popular custom types include subscription products, bookable products, membership products, and bundled products.
