Hi,

How do I make Product Type 'Shippabel Goods' the default value instead of 'Virtual Goods* when creating a new Product?

Thanks,
David

Hi,

There is no product type "shippable/virtual goods", it is just a dropdown to hide or show the options weight/dimensions.
You can override the backend view if you want to remove that dropdown and always display the weight/dimensions options.
But the dropdown, is just there for cosmetic issue.

Make that +1 for me: I agree.

It might be good to have the option to hide weight/dimensions, but IMHO hiding something as default is likely to lead to irritations, so it should always be "unhidden" as default.
Presently it seems to be confusing for many users: I'm seeing quite a few questions/comments here, most if not all of them being unnecessary if the default were "shippable".

Need help with customisations of layouts, style or other site development? PM me!

Hi,

We'll have a new option in the next version of HikaShop to set the default product type.
That version will be released in a few days so you'll be able to update to it and set the option the way you want it.

OK.
In actual versio is Possible to define "Default product type".

But - even if the "Default product type" is set to "Shipable Goods",
when you import the products via CSV file - the Product type is automatically set to "Virtual goods"

It seems to be a BUG

No problem for me
- I will set Shipable Goods product type during import... so take it only as a notice

I have found the source of problems.

If product doesn't have weight - it is automatically set as a "Virtual goods"

...even if - if you manually set it to "Shipable goods" & you don't enterr any weight - then after saving it is it is "switched" to "virtual goods"

Now it is clear ...and also acceptable from my side
