  4. Guarantee

Specific behaviours for a virtual product : 
  1. You can not manage stock level for a virtual product
  2. A virtual product can not be shipped, you will never see a virtual product in the order preparation screen or in the picking list.
  3. A virtual product can not be purchased, thus you can not add it in a purchase order, also you will not have any purchasing recommendation about it

Also, when an order is imported, the virtual product is automatically marked as "shipped". If an order contains only a virtual product, the order status will automatically move to complete.
