You can add or update a product variation for a base product. Both calls result in the same response when specifying the same productId. As long as you know the productId for the product variation, you only need to update that product variation.
When adding or updating a product variation, note that:
The response returns an error if you add an attribute to a product variation that does not exist in the base product.
The request automatically adds the locales object from the base product to each product variation. The response returns an error if the locales are inconsistent between the base product and the product variations. For example:
If en_GB and en_US exist in the base product and only en_US exists in the product variation, the request will copy en_GB to the product variation.
if en_GB and en_US exist in the base product and ja_JP exists in the product variation, the request will return an error in the response
The following request creates a product variation for an existing product. To add a product variation, you must provide either the base product's or .
The following example adds a product variation to a base product with a baseProductId. It also adds a product variation without setting any data. See the variations resource for a description of the attributes.
An ERID request requires the x-erid-as-pid=true header. It also adds a product variation without setting any data.
