Products

The products in your store can be as simple as a name and price, or they can be have special features like time-sensitive price reductions, member discounts, inventory control, kits and many other capabilities and display options.

A product can act as a subscription where a separate subscription item is created on purchase.  A subscription is  usually defined by a set length of time.  You can use the subscription feature with member groups to give users special benefits based on their subscription membership.  When the subscription period is over, the user will be automatically removed from the group.  This is one way you can use subscriptions.

You can create unique Product Kits with AbleCommerce.  A wide range of Kit configurations can be used to create  simple gift baskets, or you can offer completely custom product configurations.
