Create a product

post /rest/api/products

Creates a Product resource.

Creates a single product in the current organization. The product is returned with all read-only fields (id, timestamps, derived state) populated. You can also create initial channel assignments, collections and variants in the same call.

Default status

New products are created in their default status (typically draft). Promote them to active with a PATCH once they’re ready to surface to your channels.
