FAQ

Questions about Create Product.

What does the Create Product action do in Shopify?
Creates a new product in your Shopify store with title, body_html, vendor, type, tags, variants, and images. Used to mirror catalog from a PIM or to bulk-import via automation.
What inputs does Create Product require?
Required: Title. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Shopify returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Create Product support batch operations?
Yes. Run Create Product inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Shopify's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
