A product is an individual item for sale in your online store. Products are often tangible goods, but they can also be a digital download or a service (such as a movie, music or ebook file) , or a service (work for hire, restaurants and many others).At Joobi, we use the term Catalog to represent all the available type of products (such as product, subscription, auction, voucher, item etc.)
