Standard Product

A standard product is the most common product type in e-commerce. It represents a physical item that you stock in your warehouse and ship to customers. Examples include clothing, electronics, books, furniture, food items, or any tangible goods.

​

When to Use Standard Products

Use the Standard product type when:

• You sell a physical item that needs to be shipped
• The product does not have variations (no size/color options)
• You manage inventory for this product
• The product has weight and dimensions for shipping calculations

​

​

Configuring Shipping

The shipping section lets you define the physical characteristics of your product for accurate shipping rate calculations.
