Honestly, custom post types are very easy to understand.

I don't think you'll need more than that. If you have PHP knowledge and a grasp of wordpress, you'll have it working in 20 minutes.

In wordpress, everything is a post and the way it tells the difference between the posts is by the "type" (post, page, etc).

All a custom post type is your creating another post "type" so in this case it would be product.

 

If you're wanting custom meta included in those pages, that's where it gets a little trickier but i recommend using something like Advanced Custom Fields.

You might find that handy if you're wanting a product page with a lot of unique data. So much easier than writing it yourself.
