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.

RTFM!
