Step 3. Create the simple products
Create a configurable product tutorial
The payloads for creating a simple product and a configurable product are identical, with the following exceptions:
- The simple product
skuappends the configurable option (the size in this tutorial) to the configurable productsku. - The
nameindicates the size. - The
type_idis set tosimple. - The
visibilityis set to1, indicating the simple product should not be displayed on the store. - The
priceandsizeattributes are specified.
Although it’s not required, the simple product payload also includes stock_item information. By default, the Luma store hides out-of-stock items, so adding stock will make the Champ Tee visible on the website.
Create the first simple product
Before you using this code sample, verify that the attribute values are the same in your installation. See Get the list of attributes defined in an attribute searchCriteria for more information.
