How to identify Physical or Digital product Type

[taruns]

Hi Team,

  Just wanted to check in terms of identifying a product type being Digital or Physical. Is their a attribute available in Order API that provides us this clarity. Basically provides Product type information to distinguish between Physical or Digital?
I found the attribute requires_shipping is usually set to False if Digital product and True if it is a physical product. Can we rely on this attribute for identifying if a product is digital or Physical?

If you communicate it internally like this and fill the data correctly then it is definitely a solution.

You can also tag the variants via metafield or tag whether something is digital or not.

This is a late answer but I found it  

          mutation {

            productVariantUpdate(

              input: {

                id: "{id_input}",

                inventoryPolicy: CONTINUE,

                requiresShipping: false

              }

            ) {

              userErrors {

                field

                message

              }

            }

          }   come 2024-07 API  you need to use inventoryItemUpdate and you can get the inventoryId from the productVariant in the productQuery!
