Step 2. Create the configurable and simple products

By providing configurable and simple product information, you can use the bulk API to create all necessary products with a single call.

Configurable product

Some notes about the configurable product payload example:

  • We have the information we need to create the Champ Tee configurable product.
  • The sample payload does not contain the price or the size, as these are defined in the simple products section.
  • The visibility attribute is set to 4, which allows customers to find the product by browsing or searching. Each simple product defined in the payload can override the visibility attribute.

Simple products

The payloads for creating a simple product and a configurable product are identical, with the following exceptions:

  • The simple product sku appends the configurable option (the size in this tutorial) to the configurable product sku.
  • The name indicates the size.
  • The type_id is set to simple.
  • The visibility is set to 1, indicating the simple product should not be displayed on the store.
  • The price and size attributes are specified.

Although it is not required, the simple product payload includes stock_item information. By default, the Luma store hides out-of-stock items, so adding stock makes the Champ Tee visible on the website.

Endpoint:

POST <host>/rest/default/async/bulk/V1/products

The payload contains both the configurable product and the simple products.
