Hammad Khalid commented on Create product with variants fails 400 - bad request

Hi Shane,

The issue was actually with the JSON. You closed off the "product" object too soon.

"product":{
   ...   "vendor":"Matrox",   "published":true   },                         <===== Problem    "options":[]     ...

This ends up closing off the "product" object. So you end up separating product object, from the options and variants. The JSON should have been:

"product":{"vendor":"Matrox","published":true,                 "options":[]
   ...
}  

Overall, the following JSON is what you need:
