Managing Products and their Variants

This basic use case demonstrates how we can manage products and their variants—right from creating a product, product variant, updating it, and finally deleting the product variant when it runs out of inventory.

This Pipeline includes the following steps:

  1. Creating Product

  2. Creating Product Variant

  3. Updating Product Variant

  4. Deleting Product Variant

First, we configure the Mapper Snap to pass details (as highlighted below) of the product that we want to create.

Upon validation, this Snap generates product data as follows.

Next, we create the product using the Create Product Snap.

Upon validation, the Snap generates the following product data in the output preview.
