Best Ways to Organize Products in your Virtual Shop:

Target Audience Segment.

If you deal in products that are specifically related to a particular age or gender then you can categorize your products as per men, women, kids or pets.  This is a great way to organize products and get specific data and feedback for each audience segment without having to filter by gender or age.

Organize by Product Location .

If a product is typically known to be found in a specific place, you should apply a location based product scheme. Just think of house decor websites or app and having products added to sections that match the kitchen space, living room, bedroom or bathrooms.  

Adding a product .

Before adding your first product, let’s get familiar with how product categories, tags, and attributes work.

Product Categories .

Product categories and tags can be created, edited, and selected at any time. This can be done when you first create a product or come back and edit it or the category/tag specifically.

Attributes .

These can be added per product, or you can set up global attributes for the entire store to use (e.g., in layered navigation).  

5 Different Types of Product.

With attributes and categories set up and stock management configured, we can begin adding products. When adding a product, the first thing to decide is what type of product it is.

1. Simple 

Covers the vast majority of any products you may sell. Simple products are shipped and have no options. For example, a book.

2. 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.

3. 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 cart and checkout.

4. 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.

5. 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.
