eCommerce platforms today are no longer limited to selling simple, one-size-fits-all products. With the growing demands of online consumers and evolving business models, platforms must support a wide variety of product types — from physical goods to services, digital downloads to rentals, subscriptions, and more.

Spurtcommerce, as a powerful Open Source NodeJS-based eCommerce solution, makes it easy to define, manage, and customize a wide range of product types. Let’s explore the most common types of eCommerce products and how your admin portal can be configured with relevant form fields for each type.

1. Simple Product

A basic product with no variations.
Example: A paperback book.

Form Fields:

• Product Name
• SKU
• Price
• Quantity
• Description
• Image Upload
• Tax Settings

2. Configurable Product

Products with variations based on attributes like size, colour, or material.
Example: A T-shirt available in different sizes and colours.

Form Fields:

• Parent Product Name
• Attribute Set (Size, Colour, etc.)
• SKU and Price for Each Variant
• Stock Management per Variant
• Individual Variant Image Upload

Spurtcommerce allows defining attribute groups and connecting them to products dynamically.

3. Product Kit / Bundle

A group of products sold together, either at a discounted price or as a combo.
Example: Laptop + Bag + Mouse bundle.

Form Fields:

• Bundle Name
• Select Products from Catalog

Admins can add kit logic and control bundle stock and pricing settings.

4. Service-Based Product

Non-physical services offered online.
Example: Home cleaning service.
