What is the Toolset types add-on

The Toolset types add-on is the extension for the toolset types plugin. Toolset types allows you to create custom post types, taxonomy and fields. The WPSOLR add-on allows you to use these newly create post types as facets on the front-end to help filter your search.

I used floating point number and integer number for price and stock respectively, because I  am going to display these fields in the form of a slider. The slider does not work with text fields.
