I'm new to Umbraco and I need to create product list in Umbraco that my client can manage easily.
The products won't have their own details page, they will consist of a name, dollar value, and perhaps an extra description. They are going to be listed in a dropdown selections will be fed through to a checkout.
From what I have seen so far I can:
Create a Media type with the properties i require and manage the Product items as Media types
Create a Document type with the properties I require and manage the Product items as Documents (that don't need a template?)
Will either approach work?
Is there a third way that I'm overlooking?
Can anyone give me the pros and cons for these approaches?
Product List with as Documents or Media?

Hey Owen,
Welcome to the Umbraco forum!
Doc types are the way for sure, Doc Types don't need to have a template, they can be used for information only.
So your structure will be something like
- Product Category 1
- Product 1
- Product 2
