How to create a product

This guide will walk you through the process of creating and publishing a product, from gathering required metadata to submitting it via the "Upsert Product" endpoint.

Determine available countries and locales

Use the List countries endpoint to get the countries and locales your merchant account has been linked to.

• Countries determine:

  • Where the product will be published.

  • Which prices must be defined.

• Locales determine:

  • Which languages are available for product descriptions.

Determine product metadata

Before creating a product, gather the necessary information and identifiers from the API.

Find the product category

Use the List Categories endpoint to search available product categories and retrieve the category ID.

Get the required attributes

Once the category is selected:

• Call List Attribute Groups with the category_id to get:

  • Required attributes

  • Available colors

  • Sizes

  • Brands

  • Material groups (e.g. "Lining", "Shell") and materials

Creating the product

Drafting the product

Now that you've gathered all the necessary metadata, you're ready to draft your product.

Material compositions

Depending on the product category, you'll need to provide either a textile or non-textile material composition.

• The composition is a mapping of:

  • Cluster (e.g., Lining, Shell) from material_group

  • → to Materials (e.g., Cotton, Leather) from material

• Textile materials require a fraction field for each component.

Example: Lining made of Cotton, Material made of Leather

[
    {
        "cluster_id": 164593, // Lining
        "components": [
            {
                "material_id": 293177, // Cotton
                "fraction": 100
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "cluster_id": 164588, // Material
        "components": [
            {
                "material_id": 186717, // Leather
                "fraction": 100
            }
        ]
    },
]

Putting everything together

Use the Upsert Product endpoint to create or update your product.

Example Payload

{
  "items": [
    {
      "style_key": "<your_style_key>",
      "sku": "<your_sku>",
      "ean": "<your_ean>",
      "hs_code": "<your_hs_code>",
      "name": "<your_product_name>",
      "descriptions": {
        "<locale_1>": "<description_in_locale_1>",
        "<locale_2>": "<description_in_locale_2>"
      },
      "color": <color_id>,
      "size": <size_id>,
      "second_size": <second_size_id>|null,
      "brand": <brand_id>,
      "category": <category_id>,
      "quantity": <your_product_quantity>,
      "weight": <product_weight>,
      "countries": [
        "<country_code_1>", "<country_code_2>"
      ],
      "country_of_origin": "<country_of_origin_code>",
      "attributes": [
        <attribute_ids>
      ],
      "material_composition_textile": [
        {
          "cluster_id": <material_group_1_id>,
          "components": [
            {
              "material_id": <material_1_id>,
              "fraction": <material_1_fraction>
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      "prices": [
        {
          "country_code": "<country_code_1>",
          "retail_price": <your_retail_price>,
          "sale_price": <your_sale_price>
        },
        {
          "country_code": "<country_code_2>",
          "retail_price": <your_retail_price>,
          "sale_price": <your_sale_price>
        }
      ],
      "images": ["<your_product_image_urls>"]
    }
  ]
}

Publishing the draft product

After creation and updates of the draft product, it can be published using the Update Product Status .

Example Payload

{
  "items": [
    {
      "style_key": "<product_style_key>",
      "status": "published"
    }
  ]
}
