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!
