Type

Products can have 4 different types:

Type Description
simple The default value, no special meaning.
configurable Allows to create BE variants for the product.
virtual Shipping costs in EXT:cart can be configured to not be calculated for virtual products, e.g. with plugin.tx_cart.shipping.countries.de.options.1.extra = by_number_of_physical_products. Individual handling for other use cases can be implemented by listening to Events during the order process.
downloadable Same behaviour as above described in 'virtual'. There is no implemented process for this type as the process can be highly individual: Show a download link on the 'Thank you' page or in an email. Another process could be to provide a link for logged-in FE users in their user account. Another implementation could need a watersign process which individualizes a PDF. Such processes can be implemented by listening to Events during the order process.
