[Help] Custom Product Type creation

[igoraugustynski]

Hello,
I am trying to create a new Product Type besides the defaults of Digital, Physical, Bundle and Gift Card. I know it's possible because the documentation mentions it, but I cannot find a way to do this. What am I missing?
Also -> After adding some custom Content Fields to the product model, can I somehow hide/show them based on the product type selected? I want the store admins to be able to fill out different fields based on which type of product they are creating.

@igor-augustynski-furba You can view the available product types using the below query:
https://store-id.swell.store/admin/console?get/settings/-products~Htypes

You can add/delete the product type as follows:

We will make sure to update our documentation and provide a user interface to edit these details in the admin dashboard.

Can I somehow hide/show them based on the product type selected?

No, this feature is currently not available, but I will take it as a feature request to show content fields based on the conditions like product type or category, etc.

So what is the current purpose of Custom Product Types?

[logeshswell]

@igor-augustynski-furba As we mentioned in the documentation,

Custom product types can group together products with similar characteristics. You can define the custom type's attributes, categories, options, variant settings, and more—allowing you to streamline the process for creating new products and ensuring consistency across product families within your catalog.

@logeshswell I created a custom product type but I'm not seeing it when creating a new product. Shouldn't it be available here?

[logeshswell]

@igor-augustynski-furba Yes, it won't be available in the admin dashboard at the moment, but it's in our pipeline.
Currently, this feature is supported via APIs.
