ProductUpdate

The body transmitted by the POST is an XML structure. Tags that do not enclose a value are ignored; so, In the example below, ParentSku will be ignored by the endpoint, even though it was supplied.

The Request encloses one or more Product sections, each of which allows for the same attributes to be set as ProductCreate, although in comparison, the SellerSku is the only field required for ProductUpdate.

This call creates a feed, which is then processed by system in the background.
