Hi, this is hoo.

We currently use products/create webhook, and GET products REST API.

While we using products/create webhook and GET products REST API, we found that there were so many cases which position == null, also there were no position == 1 variants.

https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-07/resources/product-variant

In REST API documents, there is a sentence like this. ‘The first position in the list is 1’. And I could find position = 0 in products/create webhook docs.

I want to know about these problems:

  • Why there is ‘position = null’ case, Can it be?

  • Which one is correct, ‘position = 0 is the first variant or position = 1 is the first variant?’

Thanks.

Hi could you share the X-request-id of a request that returns position = null that has occurred in the last 24 hours?

Thanks for your reply.

X-Request-Id: 039e1907-b87a-4426-b170-b79dc9478418

Also, Can I ask the following questions?

I got some results which doesn’t include position = 1 but include position = 47, 48 something.

I thought that position means ‘the smallest price product variant’, is it true?

Thanks.

Hi

The team is currently aware of the issue with some products having incorrect positions (e.g position = null). They are looking to update these variants to fall within the specified bounds, (i.e. the first variant will have a position of 1).

Hi

I am also curious about the situation that there is no position = 1.

Is it also kind of ‘incorrect position’?
