Products

Products

Products are what customers come for to an online store or marketplace. Administrators can create, update, or delete products; customers see those products on the storefront (not through API) and can buy them. In API, a product can become a part of Cart or Order.

Some similar products (those that have different variants of a specific Product Feature) can become Product Variations through Product Variation Groups. That allows customers to select the desired product feature on the storefront, and go to the page of specific variation.

List All Products

To get a list of products, send a GET request to /api/products/:

GET /api/products/

The number of the returned products is determined by the items_per_page parameter. Its value can be changed in Admin panel in Settings → Appearance in the Elements per page setting or through an API request.

To refer to all products of a particular Category send a GET request to /api/categories/:id/products/:

GET /api/categories/166/products/

Pagination, Sorting and Filtering

Add these parameters to the path to specify which products will be returned in the response and how they will be organized.

Note

The Connect Marketplace REST API always accepts and returns data as strings and arrays/objects. The Default value column in the table merely shows what kind of data you can expect in the fields.

Create a Product

Store Builder Send a POST request to /api/stores/<company_id>/products/
Multi-Vendor Send a POST request to /api/products/

To create a new product, send a POST request with required fields in JSON: category_ids, product.

Example JSON: Create a Product

{
"product": "Product Name",
"category_ids": "166",
"price": "1000"
}

This request creates a product with minimum required details: a name, a main category ID and a price.

Example JSON: Create a Product for a Particular Vendor

Vendors are independent companies that sell their own products in your marketplace. To create a product for a specific Vendor you will need to add their vendor_id in a request.

Send a POST request to api/vendors/1/products:

{
"product": "Vendor's Product Name",
"category_ids": "166",
"price": "1000"
}

This request creates a product for the Vendor with a vendor_id=1 and minimum Product Details.

Example JSON: Create a Product with Images

Important

A product can have multiple images. You can specify them in the image_pairs object. It must come before the main_pair object with the main product image.

{
"product": "Product Name",
"category_ids": "166",
"price": "1000",
"image_pairs":
{
        "object_type": "product",
        "detailed": {
            "object_type": "product",
            "type": "A",
            "absolute_path": "/srv/projects/example.com/images/detailed/additional_image1.jpg", // Absolute filesystem path to the image
            "alt": "This is where the alt text for the image goes.",
        },
        {
        "object_type": "product",
        "detailed": {
            "object_type": "product",
            "type": "A",
            "alt": "This is where the alt text for the image goes.",
            "relative_path": "detailed/0/additional_image2.jpg" // Relative filesystem path to the image
        }
    },
"main_pair": {
    "object_type": "product",
    "detailed": {
        "object_type": "product",
        "type": "M",
        "image_path": "https://example.com/images/detailed/main_image.jpg", // Valid URL pointing to the image
        "alt": "This is where the alt text for the image goes."
    }
}
}

This request creates a product with a price, the Active status, a main and 2 additional images. Images must be already uploaded on your server, or available somewhere on the Internet.

In this example we have uploaded 3 images:

  • The main_image.jpg in the main_pair parameter is the main product image. It was uploaded from with the image_path parameter, which means it is added with a URL from the Internet.
  • The additional_image1.jpg is the additional image of a product. It was uploaded on the server via FTP. The path to the image is specified in the absolute_path parameter of the detailed object.
  • The additional_image2.jpg is also an additional image, but it was uploaded in the Files section in the Admin panel. That’s why it can be specified in the relative_path parameter.

Response Format

  • The product has been created successfully: HTTP/1.1 201 Created and the JSON with the new product_id:

    {
"product_id": 391
}

  • The product couldn’t be created: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request.

Update a Product

To update an existing product, send the PUT request to /api/products/<product_id>/. For example:

PUT /api/product/12

Example JSON: Update Product Details

{
"product": "100g Pants Updated",
"price": "31.00",
"list_price": "35.00",
"amount": "15"
}

This request updates the Product Name, the List Price, the Price, and the Quantity of the particular Product.

Example JSON: Update a Product Image

{
    "6759": {
        "pair_id": "6759",

        }
    }
    },

    "object_type": "product",
    "detailed": {
        "object_id": "180",
        "object_type": "product",
        "type": "M",
        "image_path": "https://example.com/stores/images/detailed/0/main_image.jpg", // Valid URL pointing to the image

        "image_y": "600",
        "absolute_path": "/srv/projects/example.com/web/stores/images/detailed/0/main_image.jpg", // Absolute filesystem path to the image
        "relative_path": "detailed/0/main_image.jpg",
    }
}

Important

A product can have multiple images. You can specify them in the image_pairs object. It must come before the main_pair object with the main product image.

This request updates the Main image and the Additional image of the particular Product. It replaces the already existent images of the product with new ones. Images can be updated separately: for example, to update the additional image, you will need to specify the corresponding field - image_pairs. The image of the product can be uploaded on your server or added with URL.

  • To specify the image uploaded to your server, use the absolute_path parameter of the detailed object.
  • To specify the image hosted on another server, use the image_url parameter of the detailed object.
  • To create a product with the main image, use the main_pair object.
  • To add the additional image of the product, use the image_pairs object.

Example JSON: Update a Product to Add a Feature

To add an existing Product Feature to a product, send a PUT request to api/products/<product_id>:

{
"product_features":
{
    "18":
    {
        "feature_id": "18",
        "variant_id": "86",
        "variants":
        {
            "86":
            {
                "variant_id": "86",
                "variant": "Adidas"
            }
        }
    }
}
}

This request adds the existing feature Brand with feature_id=18 and a feature variant Adidas with variant_id=86 to the product.

Response Format

  • The product has been updated successfully: HTTP/1.1 200 OK and JSON with product_id.
  • The product couldn’t be updated: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request.
  • The product doesn’t exist: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.

Delete a Product

This request will delete the product with product_id=12.

Response Format

  • The product has been deleted successfully: HTTP/1.1 204 No Content.
  • The product couldn’t be deleted: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request.
