A shop that sells six things does not need a warehouse system. It needs a page that takes money.

Products, and the three kinds of them

Physical products ship. Digital products deliver a file after payment. Subscriptions renew. All three are the same object with a different capability attached, so a shop that sells a mug, a PDF pattern and a monthly box is one catalogue, not three systems.

One cart, two kinds of thing

The cart products go into is the same cart that takes event tickets. Somebody buying a workshop place and the book that goes with it checks out once.
