Product types

DynamicWeb operates with four different product types; stock, service, Bom and GiftCard - they are designed to work this way:

• A stock-product has limited stock you can run out of - this is the default product type
• A service-product has unlimited stock, which means you don't have access to any stock-related fields
• A Bom-product consists of a list of other products and/or groups from which a product may be constructed
• A GiftCard-product generates a unique code when purchased - this code can then be used to pay with in the store

The product type is set using the Product type standard field:

Bom

A bom product - or a bundle - is a product which consists of other products. A bundle can either be predefined with a specific set of bundle products preselected, or configurable where the customer can choose one or more components during checkout.

GiftCards

The gift card product type generates a unique code when sold. The code can then be used as store credit to pay for other products in the webshop. Gift card codes are typically shown to customers in the order receipt and/or order confirmation email from the shopping cart app.

A few things to note about products of the type GiftCard:

• This product type represents a digital gift card and as such stock is unlimited and you won't have access to any stock-related fields on products of this type
• This product type does not work with the following features:
  • Variants
  • Prices from the price matrix
  • Discounts
  • Units
  • VAT groups
