How do I create a WooCommerce product?

Short answer: You can create product in WooCommerce by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the WooCommerce Create Product action to a workflow, map its 8 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Product.

What does the Create Product action do in WooCommerce?
Creates a new WooCommerce product with name, type (simple/variable/grouped), prices, SKU, stock, images, and category. Used to mirror catalog from a PIM or another store.
What inputs does Create Product require?
Required: Product Name, Price. 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 WooCommerce returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message WooCommerce returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Create Product support batch operations?
Run Create Product inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within WooCommerce's rate limits.
