This documentation guides Soul platform administrators through the process of registering a virtual product, presenting fundamental concepts, best practices for completing the form, and warnings about required fields.
Fundamental Concepts #
Before registering a virtual product, it is essential to understand two key concepts:
Attribute Groups
Attribute groups are used to categorize products based on their characteristics. Each group determines which fields will be available during the registration process. For more details, refer to the specific documentation on Attribute Groups.
Product Types
The Soul platform supports different product types: simple, virtual, configurable, grouped, among others.
A virtual product is one that does not involve physical delivery — it is typically used for services, licenses, digital products, or scheduling.
About Virtual Products: They do not require shipping control since they are not physically delivered. However, they can still have attributes such as price, stock, visibility, and categories.
Steps to Register a Virtual Product #
The registration process may vary depending on the store and the selected attribute group. This documentation presents a basic workflow applicable in most cases.
To start registering a new product, follow the steps below:
- Access the administration panel
- In the side menu, hover over the Catalog tab.
- In the displayed submenu, click on Products.
On the new page, click the Add Product button located in the upper right corner.
