However, owing to diverse Magento areas, the need may arise to create custom product type in Magento 2<\/strong><\/i> to satisfy the requirements of the store to implement specific features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magento 2 allows customization to create your own complete new Magento 2 product type! Isn\u2019t it a powerful feature for the developer? ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No worries now when a client comes with weird requirements that the default product types can\u2019t fulfill because now you are going to learn the easy method to create custom product type in Magento 2<\/strong><\/i>. Yaay! ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method to Create Custom Product Type In Magento 2:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a product_types.xml<\/strong> file in etc<\/strong> folder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<config xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"urn:magento:module:Magento_Catalog:etc\/product_types.xsd\">\n    <type name=\"generic\" label=\"Generic Product\" modelInstance=\"Vendor\\Extension\\Model\\Product\\Type\\Generic\" indexPriority=\"100\" sortOrder=\"10\">\n        <customAttributes>\n            <attribute name=\"refundable\" value=\"true\"\/>\n        <\/customAttributes>\n    <\/type>\n    <composableTypes>\n        <type name=\"generic\" \/>\n    <\/composableTypes>\n<\/config><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Create Generic.php<\/strong> at Model\/Product\/Type\/ <\/strong>directory<\/p>\n\n\n\n
namespace Vendor\\Extension\\Model\\Product\\Type;\nuse Magento\\Catalog\\Model\\Product;\nuse Magento\\Catalog\\Model\\Product\\Type\\AbstractType;\nclass Generic extends AbstractType\n{\n    const TYPE_CODE = 'generic';\n    public function deleteTypeSpecificData(Product $product)\n    {\n    }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Create catalog_product_view_type_generic.xml<\/strong> file at view\/frontend\/layout\/<\/strong> folder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<page xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"urn:magento:framework:View\/Layout\/etc\/page_configuration.xsd\">\n    <body\/>\n<\/page><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
With the above method, you no longer need to turn down the client with limited product types! You can always create one for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: When users are creating custom product types, they might encounter issues in the admin panel, such as the product save button not working<\/a> make sure you fix all such issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
