I have one shopping site related to Home Goods and I need to create and submit the sitemap of my site in Google Webmaster Tool.

I know there are several online tools to generate XML sitemap but some one told me that, Shopping site's sitemaps are different than other sites which means we have to submit sitemaps in two format.

One is static page site map and another one is dynamic product page sitemap. Is it true? If so how create sitemaps in these two formats?
