Create a product with variants (size,color) trough the API

[binarycoder]

Hello,

I am trying to create an app to send products to Shopify, but I had an issue while trying to create a product with variations size and color.

I am using option1 for size and option2 for color. when I go to Shopify to see the product I don't see the color, just option1.

You can see the JSON request here:

Hi there,

You will need to set your options in the API call you are making. Here's what that would look like:

"options": [{"name": "Size", "values": ["XS","S","M","L","XL"]}, {"name": "Colour", "values": ["KINGDOMBLUE"]}]

Can you try adding that to your call and let me know if you have trouble?

Cheers,

Following error throw when i set size value 0.

 {"errors":{"base":["The variant 'Blue / 0' already exists. Please change at least one option value."]}}

"options": [{"name": "Size", "values": ["0","2","4","6","8"]}, {"name": "Colour", "values": ["KINGDOMBLUE"]}]
