This plugin adds a “product type” column (with icons) on the products admin screen in WooCommerce which was removed in version 3.4.0 as a result of feedback in <a href="https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2018/02/28/what-should-happen-to-the-product-type-column-on-the-admin-products-screen/" rel="nofollow ugc">this post</a>.
If you’d like the column back, simply install and activate this plugin and you’re set.
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce 3.4 or later.</li>
<li>WordPress 4.7 or later.</li>
<li>PHP 5.2 or later.</li>
</ul>

WooCommerce Product Type Column

Didn't realise there was a poll about this column and thought it was gone for good.

I came across it when i got fed up not having it and tried to find a solution to restore it.

Based on number of active installs, i'd imagine only a few people know about this plugin and WooCommmerce should probably notify people who have bought Composite Products, Bundled Products or Subscriptions as i suspect they will be the ones who need it most.

I agree it might not be the prettiest solution and hope it will be improved in the new admin, but for now it works well for businesses that have more than one product types, especially if they have a lot of products.

Please don't abandon this code.

<h3>Source Code</h3>
This plugin uses compiled and minified JavaScript and CSS files built with webpack and npm.
The full unminified source code is publicly available at: https://github.com/litonarefin/adminify-free
To build from source:
<ol>
<li>Clone the repository</li>
<li>Run <code>npm install</code></li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code></li>
</ol>
<h3>External services</h3>
Adminify relies on the following third-party / external services. Each entry describes what the service is, what data is sent, when it happens, and links to the provider’s terms and privacy policy.
Freemius 
Adminify uses the Freemius SDK to handle plugin licensing and updates (and, for the premium version, account management). Validating a license or checking for updates sends your license key, site URL, basic environment details (WordPress and PHP versions) and the plugin version to Freemius. Any anonymous usage data is shared only if you choose to opt in.
<ul>
<li>Triggered: on activation, license actions and update checks.</li>
<li><a href="https://freemius.com/terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">Freemius Terms</a> | <a href="https://freemius.com/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Freemius Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
Optional usage diagnostics (Pixar Labs) 
This is OFF by default. Only if a site administrator explicitly opts in by clicking “Allow” on the “What we collect” admin notice does Adminify send the administrator email address and basic, non-sensitive site information (for example WordPress version, active plugins and site name) to help us understand how the plugin is used and improve it. Nothing is sent unless you opt in.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: administrator email and basic site information — only after you click “Allow”.</li>
<li>Triggered: only on the explicit “Allow” opt-in; never automatically.</li>
<li><a href="https://pixarlabs.com/terms-of-use" rel="nofollow ugc">Pixar Labs Terms</a> | <a href="https://pixarlabs.com/privacy-policy" rel="nofollow ugc">Pixar Labs Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
Google Fonts (optional local font hosting) 
When you select a Google font and save Adminify settings, the plugin downloads the chosen font files from Google so they can be served locally from your own site (better privacy and performance). This only happens when you save settings with a Google font selected.
<ul>
<li>Data sent: the requested font family and weights via a standard HTTP GET to Google Fonts. No personal data is sent.</li>
<li>Triggered: when you save Adminify settings with a Google font selected.</li>
