Does someone can help me out is my data format is correct?
Response from shopify always return empty variant. Am using PHP and i encode the array with http_build_query before i sent it.
Thanks to anyone that can help me out.
Regards
Mart
Solved! Go to the solution
This is an accepted solution.
I figure it out there was a bug in my code
if (is_array($query)) $query = http_build_query($query);
change to:
if (is_array($query)) $query = json_encode($query);
and add the header:
$request_headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
variant get created now, but still got an issue with image not updating.
