SHOP: OTHER QUICK PRODUCT TWEAKS AT WOOCOMMERCE

Here are more product tweaks that you might need.

Let’s start with the different Product types. There are different types of Products depending on the kind of product you are selling. For example, if you are selling clothes and have 3 different sizes, this could be a Variable product. Take a look at the list below and check which product type your items fall on.

  • Simple – covers the vast majority of any products you may sell. Simple products are shipped and have no options. For example, a book.
  • Grouped – a collection of related products that can be purchased individually and only consist of simple products. For example, a set of six drinking glasses.
  • Virtual – one that doesn’t require shipping. For example, a service. Enabling this disables all shipping-related fields such as shipping dimensions. A virtual product will also not trigger the shipping calculator in the cart and checkout.
  • Downloadable – activates additional fields where you can provide a downloadable file. After a successful purchase, customers are given a downloadable file as a link in the order notification email. This is suitable, for example, for a digital album, PDF magazine, or photo.
  • External or Affiliate – one that you list and describe on your website but is sold elsewhere.
  • Variable – a product with variations, each of which may have a different SKU, price, stock option, etc. For example, a t-shirt available in different colors and/or sizes.

Inventory management

  • Stock Quantity – This shows if Manage Stock is selected. Input the quantity. Stock for the specific variation, or left blank to use the product’s stock settings.
  • Allow Backorders – Choose how to handle backorders.
  • Low stock threshold – When the stock for the variation reaches this level you will get a notification email.
  • Sold Individually? – Allow only one to be sold in one order. (This setting is used for the product itself. You cannot set a specific variation to only be sold once per order)

Payment options

There are preinstalled payment methods on WooCommerce. You can choose to enable or disable these payment options and if you enable for example Direct bank transfer click on Set up to add your bank details.
