How does this work if I am using a Private App on a store and I am using the correct GraphQL API as recommended here https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/graphql/migrate/new-product-model/api-updates#deprecated-graphql-component-fields
Will I still not be able to create 100+ variants?
Nope, the live documentation says you can, their newsletter updates to dev’s earlier this year said you can.
We use a custom App to a bespoke ERP/WMS system using only graphQL on 2024-07 and we still cannot go beyond 100. The documentation still hasn’t been updated to reflect that its not available yet, saying you can have something then not giving it .. to then say “oh yea sorry you can’t” but then still not update the live documentation to prevent others getting confused as well its two major mistakes tripping up devs.
However given the response times of the graphQL API gateway for products information with separate calls to acquire variations already running slower than old AUTH method, compounding another 900 potential variations onto 1 product would only make it run even slower.
So now most of us suspect in private communities that the load on the API that was meant to be reduced has in fact been in increased multiple times over.

Hello,
It is written in the documentation https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/graphql/migrate/new-product-model/sync-data#create-a-product-with-variants-and-options-asynchronously
" The productSet mutation has an input limit of 2K variants when run asynchronously and only 100 variants when run synchronously "
And here: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/mutations/productSet
“When run in synchronous mode, the productSet mutation has an input limit of 100 variants. If you anticipate any of your use cases requiring support for more than 100 variants, please use the mutation in asynchronous mode (default).”
So I used the asynchronous mutation, but I have this return code:
‘Can only specify a maximum of 100 product variants’
How is this possible ?
because the documentation is wrong and doesn’t line up with their early 2025 release (so they say). But nobody at Shopify has bothered to update the documentation to reflect the fact its for testing only and not production.
Btw if you are a Shopify plus user, you can request to have the variant limit increased to 200. The options are still limited to 3 though. They might also stop doing it if too many people ask.
Can i ask how much the new value of variant limit will be? And when is this update dropping is it still early 2025?
Thank you
Which platform please?
