Create a Product

Creates a product in a merchant's store. A Rutter product must contain at least one variant, which is a specific configuration of the product & has an associated SKU. See Variants Array below for more information.

Variants Array

The variants array specifies different configurations of a new product. Each object in the variant array must have an sku value and contain an option_values array.

If the product does not have multiple configurations, leave the options_values array empty.

If a product has multiple configurations, the options_values array for each variant will determine the differences. For example, a T-Shirt product might have several variants that differ by Color.

See the code sample below for 2 example POST bodies:

// A product with no variants
{
  product: {
    // ... other Product fields
    variants: [
      {
        sku: "my-product",
        options_values: [], // Leave option_values empty
        price: 123.45
      }
    ]
  }
}

// A product with two variants
{
  product: {
    // ... other Product fields
    variants: [
      {
        sku: "blue-shirt",
        options_values: [
          {
            name: "Color",
            value: "Blue"
          },
        ],
        price: 123.45,
        inventory: {
          total_count: 30
        }
      },
      {
        sku: "red-shirt",
        options_values: [
          {
            name: "Color", // Must be spelled exactly the same as above
            value: "Red"
          }
        ],
        price: 100,
        inventory: {
          total_count: 90
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

It is important that inside option_values the name property values (e.g. Color) stays the same across the different variants, otherwise Rutter will be unable to group these values together.

Create Product Requirements

Due to differences across Ecommerce platforms, Rutter enforces a set of standards to ensure that products will be successfully created with the same input. Calling the API with an invalid input will return an error. The standards are listed below, and please reach out to [email protected] if you have any special requirements:

• Images must have a minimum resolution of 500x500 pixels.
• Image files must be no larger than 10mb.
• The price value inside of variants must be greater than 0.
• The option_values array must contain less than or equal to 3 unique name values. For example, a valid product could have name values of Color, Size, and Gender, but attempting to add another value would return an error.
• Each variant can have a maximum of 1 image.
• Each product can have a maximum of 6 images.
