Response Data

Use the generated response information to retrieve more details of the Feed via another API call FeedStatus . Check out the details of the response via FeedList. Please be aware while doing the ProductCreate call we just do a basic validation. A full validation will be done while processing the feed, so it can be possible to push 100 products but only 90 of them get created.

Create Multiple Variations

To be able to create multiple variation of one product, you need to fill the ParentSku to associate the product together. If a ParentSku is passed, a new variation to an existing product is created.

[Free nomenclature ParentSku feature enabled] If no ParentSku is given, a new product will be created based on the SellerSKU. If ParentSku is given and is different than an existing ParentSku than a new product will be created.

You can also use the ParentSku of a product which is generated with the same API request, see the example below.
