All Products

Products can also be "taxable", based on the Customer's billing state/province and country. (If you also sell to non-profits or resellers, you can allow each Customer to declared their tax-exempt status and waive taxes using the optional "Tax-exempt" Site Setting).

Products can also be "shippable", and you can charge shipping fees based on what is ordered and where it is being shipped.  You can also define where the Product can and cannot be shipped, and within the time frame specified by the Customer.

Products can also be "commissionable", and a percentage can be tallied for the Affiliate that referred the Customer.

Products can also be setup to charge a recurring payment to the Customer's credit/debit card automatically through a supported payment gateway.

Products can also grant access to any Private Folder upon a successful Order.
