API - Product availability of variants

[sd-igorfmachado]

Hi everyone, 

We are trying to create/update products using the "WEB API" for client project. While creating a normal product it is published automatically to the store, whoever, if we try to create a product with variants, the product isn't published automatically.

Does anyone have experienced this ? How can I solve it ?

"Normal" products 

Product availability

Available on 1 of 1 channels and apps

Variant products 

Product availability

Available on 0 of 0 channels and apps

Many thanks, 

Igor Machado

I'm assuming you are using the REST API. If so, there is a property for published_scope. If you are only looking to publish to your web/e-com sales channel, set this to web. Described here --> https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/products/product#create-2020-10. Hope this helps!

Dear Greg, 

Thanks for your reply. Yes we are using the REST API, and we are sending the published scope ... We have tried web and global ...

The issue here is that with the same code, if the product has variants it isn't published ... if the product has no variants then it's published.
