Read our announcement about The concept of Item types for non-products

Out of the box we treat all items as products. On instance-level we can configure any attribute as discriminator to distinguish types of data. We call this the item-type characteristic.

When configured, this item-type characteristic will then be exposed by our Frontend API. You'll notice there is a type field for every item returned by the API.

<item>
  <type>product</type>
  <itemno>10001-101</itemno>
  <title>Tweakwise Hoodie Blue</title>
  ...
</item>

{
    "type": "product",
    "itemno": "10001-101",
    "title": "Tweakwise Hoodie Blue",
    // ...
}

This concept will allow you to use different types of content besides products: editorial content, content search, promotional content, you name it!

Predefined types

Type	Description
product	out-of-the-box everything is a product
visual	out-of-the-box support for displaying promotional items in demoshop & Tweakwise JS.

These will be extended in the future. To make sure these will never conflict with your prefered types, prefix your types. To prevent future conflicts, we will do the same.
