Shopify API 2024 – How to create a new draft product using Postman

Step 2: Create a new draft product using Postman

Now we are ready to create a new draft product:

• • Log in to your Postman and create a new workspace

• • Create a new POST with this URL:

https://{API_key}:{admin_API_access_token}@{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{api-version}/{resource}.json

1. 1. {API_key} – The API key that you generated.

1. 1. {admin_API_access_token} – The admin API access token that you generated.

1. 1. {shop} – The name of your development store.

1. 1. {api-version} – The supported API version that you want to use.

1. 1. {resource} – A resource endpoint from the REST Admin API.

Or you can copy this example, remember to change {resource} to {products}:

        "vendor": "Burton",
        "product_type": "Snowboard",
        "status": "draft"
    }

Step 3: Verify the new draft product

After creating the draft product, we can check the draft product in Shopify Admin.

• • From Shopify Admin, choose products.

• • Search the draft product that you just created.

• • Click on the draft product.

As you can see, the new draft product has been created successfully.
