2.7. Create a new product

To create a new product the first thing to do is to create an object or array with the relevant data for the product. After this a method invoked with the data as the argument:

class ProductCreate {

public $Title;

public $LanguageIso;

public $DescriptionLong;

...

}

$parameter = new ProductCreate();

$parameter->Title = 'A title';

$parameter->DescriptionLong = 'A long description';

$parameter->LanguageIso = 'DK';

...

$ProductReturn = $Client->Product_Create(array('ProductData' => $parameter));

$NewProductId = $ProductReturn->ProductCreateResult;

The method returns the Id of the newly created product. Using this further enitities for the product such as pictures or variants can be created:

class ProductVariantCreate {

public $ProductId;

public $ItemNumber;

public $Price;

…

}

$parameter = new ProductVariantCreate();

$parameter->ProductId = $NewProductId;

$parameter->ItemNumber = 'variant43';

$parameter->Price = 40.2;

…

$Client->Product_CreateVariant(array('VariantData' => $parameter));

Notice that the ProductId of the variant is set to the Id of the newly created product.
