Anchor to ProductVariant

ProductVariant

object

Requires read_products access scope.

The ProductVariant object represents a version of a product that comes in more than one option, such as size or color. For example, if a merchant sells t-shirts with options for size and color, then a small, blue t-shirt would be one product variant and a large, blue t-shirt would be another.

Use the ProductVariant object to manage the full lifecycle and configuration of a product's variants. Common use cases for using the ProductVariant object include:

  • Tracking inventory for each variant
  • Setting unique prices for each variant
  • Assigning barcodes and SKUs to connect variants to fulfillment services
  • Attaching variant-specific images and media
  • Setting delivery and tax requirements
  • Supporting product bundles, subscriptions, and selling plans

A ProductVariant is associated with a parent Product object. ProductVariant serves as the central link between a product's merchandising configuration, inventory, pricing, fulfillment, and sales channels within the GraphQL Admin API schema. Each variant can reference other GraphQL types such as:

Anchor to MutationsMutations

Anchor to productVariantAppendMediaproductVariantAppendMedia
•mutation

Appends existing media from a product to specific variants of that product, creating associations between media files and particular product options. This allows different variants to showcase relevant images or videos.

For example, a t-shirt product might have color variants where each color variant displays only the images showing that specific color, helping customers see exactly what they're purchasing.

Use ProductVariantAppendMedia to:

  • Associate specific images with product variants for accurate display
  • Build variant-specific media management in product interfaces
  • Implement automated media assignment based on variant attributes

The operation links existing product media to variants without duplicating files, maintaining efficient media storage while enabling variant-specific displays.

required

Specifies the product associated to the media.

Anchor to variantMediavariantMedia

Anchor to productVariantRelationshipBulkUpdateproductVariantRelationshipBulkUpdate
•mutation

Creates new bundles, updates component quantities in existing bundles, and removes bundle components for one or multiple ProductVariant objects.

Each bundle variant can contain up to 30 component variants with specified quantities. After an app assigns components to a bundle, only that app can manage those components.

Note

For most use cases, use productBundleCreate instead, which creates product fixed bundles. productVariantRelationshipBulkUpdate is for variant fixed bundles, where each variant has its own component configuration.

Arguments

Anchor to inputinput
•[ProductVariantRelationshipUpdateInput!]!
required

The input options for the product variant being updated.

Anchor to productVariantsBulkCreateproductVariantsBulkCreate
•mutation

Creates multiple product variants for a single product in one operation. You can run this mutation directly or as part of a bulk operation for large-scale catalog updates.

Use the productVariantsBulkCreate mutation to efficiently add new product variants—such as different sizes, colors, or materials—to an existing product. The mutation is helpful if you need to add product variants in bulk, such as importing from an external system.

The mutation supports:

  • Creating variants with custom option values
  • Associating media (for example, images, videos, and 3D models) with the product or its variants
  • Handling complex product configurations
Note

By default, stores have a limit of 2048 product variants for each product.

After creating variants, you can make additional changes using one of the following mutations:

  • productVariantsBulkUpdate: Updates multiple product variants for a single product in one operation.
  • productSet: Used to perform multiple operations on products, such as creating or modifying product options and variants.

You can also specifically manage product options through related mutations:

Arguments

Anchor to mediamedia
•[CreateMediaInput!]

List of new media to be added to the product.

Anchor to productIdproductId
•ID!
required

Anchor to variantsvariants
•[ProductVariantsBulkInput!]!
required

An array of product variants to be created.

Anchor to productVariantsBulkUpdateproductVariantsBulkUpdate
•mutation

Updates multiple product variants for a single product in one operation. You can run this mutation directly or as part of a bulk operation for large-scale catalog updates.

Use the productVariantsBulkUpdate mutation to efficiently modify product variants—such as different sizes, colors, or materials—associated with an existing product. The mutation is helpful if you need to update a product's variants in bulk, such as importing from an external system.

The mutation supports:

  • Updating variants with custom option values
  • Associating media (for example, images, videos, and 3D models) with the product or its variants
  • Handling complex product configurations
Note

By default, stores have a limit of 2048 product variants for each product.

After creating variants, you can make additional changes using the productSet mutation, which is used to perform multiple operations on products, such as creating or modifying product options and variants.

Anchor to quantityPricingByVariantUpdatequantityPricingByVariantUpdate
•mutation

Updates quantity pricing on a PriceList for specific ProductVariant objects. You can set fixed prices (see PriceListPrice), quantity rules, and quantity price breaks in a single operation.

QuantityRule objects define minimum, maximum, and increment constraints for ordering. QuantityPriceBreak objects offer tiered pricing based on purchase volume.

The mutation executes delete operations before create operations and doesn't allow partial updates.

Note

If any requested change fails, then the mutation doesn't apply any of the changes.

Arguments

Anchor to inputinput
•QuantityPricingByVariantUpdateInput!
required

The input data used to update the quantity pricing in the price list.

Anchor to priceListIdpriceListId
•ID!
