# Products

Your product catalog is organized in layers, each serving a specific purpose:

- **[Families](product-families.html)** define shared characteristics — the "Clothing" family might have Size and Color attributes.
- **[Categories](product-categories.html)** organize products for browsing, filtering, and reporting — completely independent of families.
- **[Attributes](product-attributes.html)** describe product characteristics — text, numbers, selections, booleans, dates.
- **[Products](managing-products.html)** are the actual items in your catalog. They can be simple or configurable.
- **Variants** are the specific sellable, stockable SKUs. A "T-Shirt" product with 4 sizes and 3 colors produces 12 variants.
- **[Price lists](pricing-and-price-lists.html)** let you have different prices for different markets, customer segments, or time periods.
- **[Currencies](currencies.html)** handle multi-currency operations with exchange rates.

## Product Types

Every product has a type that determines how it behaves:

| Type             | What it is                                                                   | When to use                                                                                                                      |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Simple**       | A single SKU with no variants.                                               | Products that do not come in different sizes, colors, or configurations. A hammer, a specific cable model, a cleaning product.   |
| **Configurable** | Has variants automatically generated from the family's variant attributes.   | Products that come in multiple variations. A shirt in 4 sizes and 3 colors = 12 variants, each with its own SKU and stock level. |
| **Bundle**       | A package of other products sold together as a set.                          | Gift sets, starter kits, or any pre-assembled combination of products.                                                           |
| **Virtual**      | A non-physical item — a service, subscription, warranty, or digital product. | Anything that is not a physical good you store in a warehouse.                                                                   |

The product type is set at creation and determines how the product interacts with inventory, variants, and pricing.

## How Products Relate to Other Features

| Feature              | Relationship                                                                                                               |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Families**         | Every product belongs to exactly one family, which defines its attributes.                                                 |
| **Categories**       | A product can belong to multiple categories for flexible classification.                                                   |
| **Warehouses**       | Products (and their variants) are assigned to [warehouse locations](../inventory/warehouses-and-locations.html) for storage. |
| **Partners**         | Suppliers sell you products; clients buy them from you.                                                                    |
| **Price lists**      | Override the product's base price for specific markets or time periods.                                                    |
| **Units of measure** | Define how the product is counted, weighed, and converted between different contexts.                                      |
