Magento 2 Product Types:
1. Simple Product
The Simple Product is a physical item with a single SKU (Store Keeping Unit). This product category is sold as a single item. It means that this product type has no variation such as color, size,…
Simple Products can be used in association with grouped, bundle, and configurable products.
For example, The Impulse Duffle only sold with fixed size, color, material.
2. Configurable Product
Configurable Product includes many simple products. This product type appears to be a single product with lists of options for each variation. However, each variant represents a distinct product with a distinct SKU.
For example, The Mars HeatTech™ Pullover is available in size and color options.
3. Grouped Product
The Grouped Product consists of a group of simple products or virtual products with the same or related characteristics. You can offer variations of a single product, or group them for a promotion. The products can be purchased separately or as a group.
For example, You can buy all three, buy 2 or 1 of 3 products of the Set of Sprite Yoga Straps.
4. Virtual Product
Virtual Products are not tangible products and are typically used for products such as services, memberships, warranties, and subscriptions. Virtual products can be used in association with grouped and bundle products.
For example, Magetop Membership is a virtual product, the buyer will receive the service, not any tangible product.
5. Bundle Product
A Bundle Product lets customers “build their own” from an assortment of options. Each item in the bundle is various Simple Products or Virtual Products.
For example, Sprite Yoga Companion Kit has different items are Ball, Yoga Brick, Yoga Strap, and Foam Roller. Customers can choose options for each product in the bundle provided but are required to buy the products included in that bundle.
6. Downloadable Product
