Overview

Create or update products in a product block WITHOUT deleting existing ones. This endpoint is additive - it only creates new products and updates existing ones based on external_id, leaving other products unchanged. Perfect for incrementally adding products to your catalog without affecting the rest.

​
Use Cases

  • Add New Products: Add products as they become available
  • Update Specific Products: Update only certain products without touching others
  • Incremental Sync: Sync new/changed products without full catalog refresh
  • Safe Updates: Modify products without risking deletion of others

​
Authentication
