You can't have an online store without something to sell. Before we can sell something, we have to add products to our store. But before we do that, we have to know the different kinds of products you can add to your store.
We're going to look at three types of products that are included in the free WooCommerce plugin. We're also going to look at the Product Bundles (https://www.woocommerce.com/products/product-bundles/) and Subscriptions (https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-subscriptions/) that are available through premium extensions on the WooCommerce website . Each of these types of products will have unique features, and choosing how you want to display your products in your store is an important decision.
In this chapter, we're going to look into the following:
- Simple products
- Variable products
- Digital products
- Product bundles
- Subscriptions
All of these product types build on each other. So, before you jump ahead and look into variable products, make sure to look at the section on simple products. By the end of this chapter, you should know what types of products you want to offer in your store as well as the technical information you need to configure them correctly.
