Woocommerce custom product_type seems not to be saved correctly

I am creating my own plugin for woocommerce and realized, that my custom product_type is not saved when the product has been created or updated. I am sure that the problem is coming from my plugin, but I am not sure where to look at. Function to add the product_type (according to a post)

function extend_woocommerce()
{
    Class WC_Product_Connected_To_General_Product extends WC_Product_Simple
    {
        public function __construct($product)
        {
            $this->product_type = 'connected_to_general_product';
            $this->manage_stock = 'yes';
            parent::__construct($product);
        }
    }
}

Class which is called in the plugin

Class general_stock {

/**
 * general_stock constructor.
 */
function __construct()
{
    if($this->check_if_woocommerce_is_active()){
     add_action('init',[$this, 'add_woocommerce_product_type'])
     add_filter('product_type_selector', [$this,'add_woocommerce_product_type_general_connected_product']);

...
}
/**
 * add_woocommerce_product_type
 */
function add_woocommerce_product_type(){
    extend_woocommerce();
}
/**
 * add_woocommerce_product_type_general_connected_product
 * @param $types
 * @return mixed
 */
function add_woocommerce_product_type_general_connected_product($types){
    $types[$this->product_type_name] = __('Connected to general Product','ln-general-stock');
    return $types;
}

However "everything" works so far: I am able to select the new product type in backend and saving it aswell. (It is selected when I edit the product).

But when I query the Product in frontend and dump it, the value of product_type equals simple which I think should be connected_to_general_product or is this information stored in another value?

Thank you in advance for your help!

As said on this issue, also make sure that your class that extends to WC_Product is hooked on init.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_class', 'custom_woocommerce_product_class', 10, 
2 );
function custom_woocommerce_product_class( $classname, $product_type ) {
    if ( $product_type == 'connected_to_general_product' ) {
        $classname = 'WC_Product_Connected_To_General_Product';
    }
    return $classname;
}

Also, add this code if doesn't work.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_class', array($this,'load_custom_product_type_class'), 10, 2 );

    public function load_custom_product_type_class( $classname, $product_type ){
        if ( $product_type == 'your_custom_product_type_here' ) {
            $classname = 'YOUR_PRODUCT_TYPE_CLASS_NAME';
        }
        return $classname;
    }

Remember the extends of product class name has to start with WP_Product_ followed with the producto type. Eg.:

class WC_Product_Moto extends WC_Product {
    protected $product_type = 'moto';

    public function get_type(){
        return 'moto';
    }
}

I had the same problem and found that I had to define a missing function in my case

if (class_exists('WC_Product_Simple')) {
    class WC_Product_Ebook_Store extends WC_Product_Simple {

    public function __construct( $product ) {

        $this->product_type = 'ebook_store';

        parent::__construct( $product );

    }
    public function get_type() {
        return 'ebook_store';
    }

    }
}

I would probably re-arrange the structure of your plugin a bit. I like to load the plugin on the woocommerce_loaded plugin, then you don't even need a conditional check to see if WooCommerce is active. But I think the problem is the array key/value pair that you are adding to the product_type_selector filter.

Class general_stock {

    /**
     * pseudo constructor.
     */
    public static function init()
    {
        include_once( 'path-to/class-wc-product-connected-to-general-product.php' );
         add_filter('product_type_selector', array( __CLASS__, 'add_woocommerce_product_type_general_connected_product' ) );
    }

    ...


    /**
     * add_woocommerce_product_type_general_connected_product
     * @param $types
     * @return mixed
     */
    public static function add_woocommerce_product_type_general_connected_product($types){
        $types['general-product'] = __('Connected to general Product','ln-general-stock');
        return $types;
    }

}

add_action( 'woocommerce_loaded', 'general_stock::init');

Class WC_Product_Connected_To_General_Product extends WC_Product_Simple
{
    public function __construct($product)
    {
        $this->product_type = 'connected_to_general_product';
        $this->manage_stock = 'yes';
        parent::__construct($product);
    }
}
