Hello friends!
The reason WooCommerce is rated as a powerful store builder plugin is used by many. That is, it can create many different types of products. In this article, I will introduce and guide you to create several other product types in WooCommerce for the purpose of selling different types of products.
Virtual Product / Downloadable
Virtual and Downloadable Products are forms of products that do not exist physically. For example, software suites, documentation sets, etc. Customers who buy this type of product do not have the option of shipping, instead they can download the product.
To add this product type, tick Virtual and Downloadable products . When Virtual Product is selected , the shipping item will be lost. And when you select Downloadable , a box will appear for you to add files for customers to download. You choose to upload the file and enter a name for the file. Other information you add as a regular product.

Group products
Group products are products that are sold together in a group or set. For example, Baby set, or Living room group, etc. To add a product of this type, after filling in the product name and description, in the Product data section, select Group products . Some features will disappear, including product pricing. You enter the Product Code for this group.

Next down to the section Connected products you select Products by group. By typing a few words of the product name (the product needs to be created before), it will show the corresponding product name for you to click.

For example, here I add 2 products for this group. Then add other information such as a short description, product category, profile picture, etc. and click Post this product group.
Now when viewing this Product Group off the home page, you will see the products in the group listed.

External / Affiliate Products
External/affiliate products are products that are posted on your website but are sold by another site. This type of product is suitable for those who do affiliate marketing, ie selling affiliate marketing.
When adding this type of product, select External / Linked Products in the Product Data section . There will be 2 more options , product URL , which is the link to buy the product. Button content will help you change the content of the purchase button according to the word you type.
