Description

Layer → Create vector → New shapefile
and create a POLIGON shapefile

QGIS sees it as if it were MULTIPOLIGON (go to layer properties,
information)

this is a problem if an algorithm or plugin only accepts
polygon geometries, in fact the CLIPPER plugin [0] only accepts polygons and therefore goes into error.

For shapefiles there is no difference between multi and single geometries, for this reason ogr and QGIS treat them as multi.
