Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to basically create a product from google sheet and have it Zapier connect with Shopify to create/updated the product. Now my question is does Zapier Shopify create product function able to create variants? One product with multiple variants skus?

Shopify available actions via Zapier:

 

Otherwise you’ll have to use the Shopify API via a Webhook step.

Thank you for the response. I do know that Zapier have Shopify actions but I want to know if the action of creating a product can create a product with multiple variants.

Hi there @adevcoder! Thanks for the question. At this time, it seems like we can create Product Variant but not multiple variants. 
I wanted to ask if the multiple SKUs are custom fields or extra options in a product variant? This would help me direct your request to the right team for consideration.


Thanks so much!

Hi Steph

It would be options in product variant. It would be like Jacket product ID 1234 with variant ids 3414 Small - SKU01 // variant id 23424 Med - SKU02 // Variant id Large - SKU003

Hi @adevcoder ,

Hopping in for Steph here- hope that’s okay! Thank you for the extra detail here- we currently have an open feature request for this functionality with Shopify. 

I've gone ahead and added you as an interested user which does a few things:

  • Re-raises this issue with the app’s dev team
  • Adds weight to the issue in queue
  • Reminds us to update you if/when there is an update


I don't have an ETA as to when there may be an update, but you'll definitely be notified via email as soon as we have any news!

Hey folks,

Just reaching out here to share that the feature request has been implemented! 😁🎉

The Create Product Variant action for Shopify now supports these fields: 

  • Product ID
  • Options (up to 3)
  • Add New Image - File
  • Add New Image - Alt Text
  • Choose Existing Image
  • Price, Compare-at Price
  • Charge Tax On This Variant?
  • Cost Per Item
  • SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)
  • Barcode (ISBN, UPC, GTIN, etc.)
  • Track Quantity?
  • Continue Selling When Out of Stock?
  • This Is a Physical Product
  • Weight
  • Weight Unit
  • Country/Region of Origin
  • Harmonized System (HS) code
  • Position
  • Requires Components
  • Tax Code
     

If you’re not seeing the fields available to use in your Zaps then you may need to upgrade the Shopify app on Zapier to the latest version. You can learn how to do that here: Update to the latest app version in Zaps

We hope you’re able to make good use of these fields soon, and if you run into any issues please reach out in the Community or get in touch with Support directly to let us know. 

In the meantime, happy Zapping! ⚡
