Update a product

patch /api/products/{id}

Updates the Product resource.

Partially updates a product. The body is a JSON Merge Patch document: any field you include replaces the current value, and any field you omit is left untouched.

Merge Patch semantics

Omit a field to leave it untouched, or send a new value to replace it. Sending null clears a nullable field such as description; non-nullable fields like status reject null.
