What it is
Behaviors and special types
The product types that change how it is bought and what happens after.
Product behaviors
Donations, gift cards, inquiry, seasonal and pickup products
no stored settingsMost products are ordinary goods. The Product Behaviors card ( PRO ) turns one into something that sells differently:
Donation/Invoice Product: the customer types the amount to pay, and your price is the starting and lowest amount. Gift Card Product: the code is emailed to the recipient the buyer names. Inquiry Mode: shows your store’s inquiry form instead of Add to Cart, or sends shoppers to your own page through Inquiry URL. Seasonal Mode: keeps the product on display but not purchasable, showing your phrase, such as Coming in November.
Enable Preorder for Pickup is order now, collect on a chosen date, and Enable Restaurant for Pickup is order for a ready time such as ASAP or in an hour. Both use the pickup schedule in your store settings.
💡 Note: The inquiry form, and whether prices are hidden on seasonal and inquiry products, are store-wide settings under Settings › Store › Products and Settings › Advanced › Admin.
Subscription
Recurring billing, which needs Stripe
no stored settingsSubscription Product ( PRO ) bills the customer automatically on the Subscription Interval you set. Billing can run forever or stop after a set number of payments, shipping can be charged once or on every payment, and the order receipt can go out on the first payment only or on each one. Trial Days and an Initial Fee are optional.
Allow Multiple Subscriptions lets one customer hold more than one. Subscription Plan puts the product on a plan ladder so subscribers can switch tiers, with Prorate on Upgrade/Downgrade deciding whether the switch is prorated. Membership URL is a link to your members’ page, shown with the subscription in the customer’s account.
Subscription products can only be bought while Stripe takes your card payments. With another card gateway the card warns you, and shoppers see a message instead of a checkout.
💡 Note: Plans and their upgrade ladders are built in Subscription Plans. For a step by step walkthrough, see How to Sell Subscriptions on WordPress.
Digital download
A file instead of a shipment
no stored settingsDownload Product ( PRO ) delivers a file instead of a shipment, and the customer gets a secure download link after purchase. The Download Location is your own server, with the file uploaded here, or Amazon S3, with the file picked from your bucket. Maximum Downloads and Expiration (in seconds) limit how often and for how long the link works.
A cart with a download in it needs a customer account, even when guest checkout is on, because the customer needs somewhere to come back to for the file.
💡 Note: Files customers have bought are managed in Download Management. For a step by step walkthrough, see How to Sell Downloads on WordPress.

The other cards on this tab
no stored settingsDeconetwork ( PRO ) connects the product to your Deconetwork designer, so customers customize decorated items before adding them to the cart.
With the BlueCheck extension, Age check ( BlueCheck ) sets who can buy the product: follow its categories, use the store’s age, require 18, 19 or 21 and over, or never restrict it. A line under the choice says what applies now.
With Elementor, Page layout gives this product its own Elementor template, or leaves it on the layout chosen in Settings › Elementor for every product page.
💡 Note: Age checks are set up in the BlueCheck extension.
