Product Type Attribute

We’re introducing a new optional field called productType on the product level.

This field will automatically propagate to order lines when an order is created.

Purpose

The goal is to make it easier for merchants to define and process products with specific handling requirements — such as donations, pre-orders, or digital goods — without relying on customAttributes.

By having a dedicated productType field:

• Order processing rules and workflows can be based on product type.

• Data becomes cleaner and easier to use for fulfillment, reporting, and automation.

• Merchants maintain full flexibility in defining and managing their own product types.

Key Details

• The field is optional and merchant-defined.

• It does not affect pricing, stock, or allocation logic.

• It is included in both the Product API and the Order API responses.
