Bulk cost update via CSV not firing webhooks

I have set up webhooks to listen for product updates in my dev environment they all fire when I update the cost per item in Shopify.

However if I use the bulk CSV import no webhooks appear to be fired? Why is that?

 

Thanks,

Ryan

Hey Ryan, 

This may actually be intentional, at the very least I can see how it would happen - product cost is an inventory item concern and not product, so inventory_item webhooks may be required to keep up with these particular updates.

With the above being said, however, I'll be sure to check with our developers here to get you a more definite answer, because I know updating the cost from the product page still does fire the webhook. I'll post back in here with more information once I'm able!

To those reading this in the future, the above is true - updating the cost of an item via CSV requires listening for inventory_items/update webhooks.
