How to add a simple product
A simple product is a basic type of product in e-commerce that has no variations or options for the customer to choose from. It is a single item with a fixed price, size, color, and other attributes. For example, if you are selling a book, a specific T-shirt in one size and color, or a downloadable file like an ebook, each would be considered a simple product. There are no configurations or additional choices that the customer needs to make before purchasing.
How to add a downloadable product
A downloadable product is a type of digital good that customers can purchase and then download directly to their devices. Unlike physical products that require shipping, downloadable products are delivered electronically, often instantly. Common examples include:
– Ebooks: Digital books in formats like PDF, ePub, or Kindle.
– Software: Applications or programs that users can install on their computers or devices.
– Music and Audio Files: MP3s, podcasts, or audio tracks.
– Digital Art: High-resolution images, illustrations, or graphic designs.
– Videos: Tutorials, courses, or entertainment content.
– Templates and Tools: Excel spreadsheets, design templates, or coding tools.
– Plugins or Themes: Add-ons for software platforms like WordPress. These products are typically sold through online marketplaces or the vendor’s website.
How to add a Variable Product
A variable product is a type of product in e-commerce that comes with multiple variations, each of which may have different attributes like size, color, material, or price. Unlike a simple product, which is sold as a single item with no options, a variable product allows customers to choose from these options before making a purchase.
For example:
– Clothing: A T-shirt that comes in various sizes (small, medium, large) and colors (red, blue, black).
– Footwear: Shoes that are available in different sizes and colors.
– Electronics: A smartphone that comes in different storage capacities (64GB, 128GB, 256GB) and colors.
Each combination of options (like a medium, red T-shirt) is considered a variation of the product. Variable products are useful when you need to offer customers a selection of choices within a single product listing.
How to add a service product
A service product is a type of offering in which the primary value comes from an intangible activity or experience provided to customers rather than a physical product. It is designed to meet specific customer needs and often involves direct interaction between the service provider and the customer.
Examples of Service Products:
1. Consulting Services: Business advice, legal counsel, or financial planning.
2. Digital Services: Cloud storage, software subscriptions, or online streaming platforms.
3. Hospitality: Hotel stays, dining experiences, or travel bookings.
4. Healthcare: Medical consultations, therapy sessions, or fitness training.
5. Education: Online courses, tutoring, or workshops.
A service product may also include supporting tangible elements, such as documents, equipment, or materials, but its core value lies in the service provided.
