@wakabayashi said in Product and combination types missing in Prestashop:
Can somebody explain me, if there is any difference between combination and attribute? I see these two expression a lot and never understood the difference - I thought it's the same... After reading documentation of PS I even noticed that there are hooks for combinations and hooks for attributes
Product attributes are size, color, capacity, etc. Combinations are combining attributes after you create them, so that there are variations of a specific item or product.

Product Attributes: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Managing+Product+Attributes
"Attributes are the basis of product variations (or "combinations" in PrestaShop's interface): you can only create variations of a product if at least one of its attributes changes.
You should think of attributes as properties of a product that may change between variations, while still keeping the same product name: color, capacity, size, weight, etc. You can use anything that varies between versions of the same product, except the price."
Product Combinations https://www.hostknox.com/tutorials/prestashop/1.5-1.6/products/combinations
"In PrestaShop you can offer the same product in different variations. For example, you can have the same product but in different colors, sizes, etc. Instead of creating a separate product for each variant you can add a single product in the catalog and then add combinations using product attributes (e.g. color, disk size, memory, etc.). To be able to do this you need to have the product attribute groups and attributes configured in advance."
