avalara_product_tax_coderesourceAccepts AvaTax System Tax Codes, which identify products and services that fall into special sales-tax categories. By using these codes, merchants who subscribe to Avalara Premium can calculate sales taxes more accurately.

Stores without Avalara Premium will ignore the code when calculating sales tax. Do not pass more than one code. The codes are case-sensitive.

For details, please see Avalara's overview and FAQ on AvaTax System Tax Codes. You can also download codes as a zipfile of spreadsheets, or search or browse codes in Avalara's Tax Code Search Tool. (These external links are subject to change.)

exclude

The ?exclude= option excludes one or more specified fields. However, you cannot exclude the mandatory id, name, date_modified, or primary_image fields.

Here is a sample request with the ?exclude= option appended:

https://store-et7xe3pz.mybigcommerce.com/api/v2/products/32?exclude=description

We have omitted the corresponding sample response. However, the following section shows a complete sample response for a request submitted with no ?include or ?exclude option. (The effect of the ?exclude=description option shown above would be to omit the "description": field shown as the sixth field below.)

Create a Product

Creates a new product. The example request shows how to create a basic product by sending a product object with the minimum required properties.

POST /stores/{store_hash}/v2/products

Read-only Properties

The following properties of the product are read-only. If one or more of these properties are included in the request, it will be rejected.

  • id
  • calculated_price
  • brand
  • images
  • discount_rules
  • configurable_fields
  • custom_fields
  • primary_image
  • videos
  • rules
  • option_set
  • options
  • tax_class

Requirements

The following properties of the product are required. The request won’t be fulfilled unless these properties are valid.

  • name
  • price
  • categories
  • type
  • availability
  • weight

Note

Create a request by sending a product object with the minimum required properties:

{
    "name": "Plain T-Shirt",
    "type": "physical",
    "description": "This timeless fashion staple will never go out of style!",
    "price": "29.99",
    "categories": [18],
    "availability": "available",
    "weight": "0.5"
}

When the is_visible property is not provided, the product's visibility is false by default.

To make newly created products immediately visible on the storefront, you must set is_visible to true when you create each product.

You may encounter a case where product information was updated successfully, but related inventory data failed to update. In such cases, BigCommerce will return a 207 status along with the object as updated and a descriptive error message.

207 Multi-Status

To maximize system performance, BigCommerce caps the number of categories to which a product can belong. The maximum is 1,000. If your POST includes an array of more than 1,000 categories ID values, BigCommerce will return a 403 error:

403 Access Denied/Forbidden

If automatic tax is enabled on the store, the value of tax_class_id will have no effect on the calculation of taxes.

Update a Product

Updates an existing product.

PUT /stores/{store_hash}/v2/products/{id}

Read-only Properties

The following properties of the product are read-only. If one or more of these properties are included in the request, it will be rejected.

  • id
  • rating_total
  • rating_count
  • number_sold
  • date_created
  • date_modified
  • date_last_imported
  • calculated_price
  • brand
  • images
  • discount_rules
  • configurable_fields
  • custom_fields
  • primary_image
  • videos
  • rules
  • option_set
  • options
  • tax_class

Requirements

There are no required properties when updating a product.

Note

To update a product, set one or more product properties in the PUT request:

{
    "custom_url": "/plain-tshirt/",
    "is_visible": true
}

For example, you can use a PUT to link a product to an option set:

{
    "option_set_id": 14
}

Invalid property values will produce a 400 Bad Request error response:

Request

{
    "condition": "Worn"
}

Response

400 Bad Request

Trying to set read-only properties will also produce a 400 Bad Request error response:

Request

{
    "number_sold": 99
}

Response

400 Bad Request

You may encounter a case where product information was updated successfully, but related inventory data failed to update. In such cases, BigCommerce will return a 207 status along with the object as updated and a descriptive error message.

207 Multi-Status
