Depending on what you’re selling, Makers India lets you use different product types. You can choose from four core product types:
- Simple product: It is the default. This type of product is common among store owners. For instance, a one-size-fits-all hat.
- Grouped product: A grouped product is usually for combining simple products – for instance, a pack of five t-shirts
- External/Affiliate product: If you have a drop-shipping business, or an affiliate based store, you can use this option to link the “Add to Cart” button to an external page.
- Variable product: A product that offers multiple variations like colors, sizes, etc. For example, a t-shirt where shoppers can choose between “Small”, “Medium”, “Large”, etc.
You also get two additional options to modify those four core product types:
- Virtual: This option is for those who are selling an online digital product that doesn’t require a shipment.
