How to Create a Custom Product Type in Magento 2
Magento 2 is a powerful eCommerce platform, but sometimes the default product types just don’t cut it. Maybe you need a subscription-based product, a customizable bundle, or something entirely unique. That’s where custom product types come in!
In this guide, we’ll walk through the process of creating a custom product type in Magento 2 step by step. Whether you're a developer or just curious about how it works, we’ll keep things simple and practical.
Why Create a Custom Product Type?
Magento 2 comes with several built-in product types—Simple, Configurable, Grouped, Virtual, Downloadable, and Bundle. But what if your store sells something more specialized? For example:
- Membership plans
- Rental products
- Custom-made items with unique attributes
A custom product type lets you define exactly how your product behaves in the catalog, cart, and checkout.
