Product specifications

Learn more with this article about specifications.

If you wish to implement color variation in your products, we recommend you do not use specifications. Instead, see this tutorial about How to implement product color variation.

Implementation

To create a product specification, use the API below. Remembering that you must have saved the ID of the field for which you want to create a specification.

If the specification field is of the Combo, Radio or Checkbox type (FieldTypeId of 5, 6 and 7 respectively), the FieldValueId field is required and the Text field is not.\n- For text type fields, it is not necessary to create values for the field, that is, the FieldValueId attribute must be null and the Text attribute must be provided with the specification value.

To update a product specification use the Update a product specification by product ID API endpoint. It's also possible to update specification values in bulk.

Updating product specification by fieldName does not work.
