Update Products

The API response is asynchronous and generates the creation of a Feed; always remember to check the details of a feed (see here) to review whether the product was created successfully or if there are any issues with the rejection.

The request body is XML; fields sent with empty values will not be processed and will be ignored, as in the following example, where ParentSku will be ignored even if it has been declared. It is possible to update one or more products.

Request Data

Use the generated response information to retrieve more details of the Feed through another API call to FeedStatus. Check the details of the response through FeedList. Keep in mind that while making the ProductUpdate call, we only perform basic validation. Full validation will occur while processing the feed, so it may be possible that, when sending 100 product updates, only 90 of them are actually updated.
