Request

curl -X POST "https://api.launchmystore.io/api/v1/products.json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \

​
Body Parameters

​
title
string
required
The product title
​
description
string
Product description (supports HTML)
​
handle
string
URL-safe handle. Auto-generated from title if not provided
​
vendor
string
Product vendor/brand name
​
product_type
string
Product type or category
​
categoryId
string
Primary category ID (legacy single-category FK). Creating a product with this field also writes a ProductCategories join row, so the product appears on the corresponding collection page without needing categoryIds. Send this on its own for single-category products.
​
categoryIds
array
Array of category IDs for the many-to-many ProductCategories join. This is the relation /collections/{handle} listings and the collection.products Liquid drop read from. The first entry (or the one matching categoryId) is stored as the primary association. Use this when a product belongs to multiple categories. If omitted, the backend falls back to [categoryId].
​
status
string
default:"draft"
Product status: active, draft, archived
​
tags
array
Array of tags for organizing and filtering products
​
options
array
Product options (e.g., Size, Color). Max 3 options per product.
​
variants
array
Array of product variants. At least one variant is required.
​
images
array
Array of product images

​
Response

​
success
boolean
Whether the request succeeded
​
data
object
The created product object (same structure as Get Product response)
