Trying to import simple and variable products with Bulk Operations

[jlista]

Hi, I'm trying to create products and I'm trying to run createProducts and then productVariantsBulkCreate, but I get these errors:

Error processing product group: GraphqlQueryError: Variable $variants of type
 [ProductVariantsBulkInput!]! was provided invalid value for 0.sku (Field is not defined on
ProductVariantsBulkInput), 0.inventoryQuantities.0.locationId (Expected value to not be null)

I'm also getting these below:

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction? This is the code I'm using:

const PRODUCT_CREATE_MUTATION = `
  mutation productCreate($input: ProductInput!) {
    productCreate(input: $input) {
      product {
        id
        title
      }
      userErrors {
        field
        message
      }
    }
  }
`;

const VARIANT_UPDATE_MUTATION = `
  mutation productVariantsBulkCreate($productId: ID!, $variants: [ProductVariantsBulkInput!]!) {
    productVariantsBulkCreate(productId: $productId, variants: $variants) {
      userErrors {
        field
        message
      }
      product {
        id
        options {
          id
          name
          values
          position
        }
      }
      productVariants {
        id
        title
        selectedOptions {
          name
          value
        }
      }
    }
  }
`;

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you very much!

I also have this issue so hopefully you can find the answer you want for your problem

Hi @jlista 
It looks like in the VARIANT_UPDATE_MUTATION variable, productVariants is missing some attributes that your payload is sending. Please review your payload and add those fields (e.g., sku, inventoryQuantities, etc.). Follow Shopify's guidelines here: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/mutations/productVariantsBulkCreate
