types
Commerce automatically assigns types to the products you create. In Commerce Manager, you can see at a glance the product types in a list of a products. In addition, you can filter on product types in both the API and Commerce Manager.
Product types can also be used in catalogs. For example, in your catalog, you can filter on parent
so that only your parent products are displayed in your storefront.
Products have one of the following types:
standard
- Standard products are a standalone products.parent
- A parent product is a product that has child products that have been built in Commerce Manager or using the Build Child Products endpoint.child
- When you configure product variations and variation options for parent products, the child products derived from the parent products are automatically created in Commerce.bundle
- A bundle is a purchasable product, comprising one or more standalone products (in other words,components
) to be sold together.
note
In Commerce Manager, standard
products are called Product.
