# ProductInput
input\_object
The input fields for creating or updating a product.
## Fields
* category
[ID](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID)
The ID of the [category](https://shopify.github.io/product-taxonomy/releases/unstable/?categoryId=sg-4-17-2-17) that's associated with the product.
* claimOwnership
[ProductClaimOwnershipInput](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/ProductClaimOwnershipInput)
The input field to enable an app to provide additional product features. For example, you can specify [`bundles: true`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/ProductClaimOwnershipInput#field-bundles) in the `claimOwnership` field to let an app add a [product configuration extension](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/product-merchandising/bundles/product-configuration-extension/add-merchant-config-ui).
* collectionsToJoin
[\[ID!\]](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID)
A list of collection IDs to associate with the product.
* collectionsToLeave
[\[ID!\]](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID)
The collection IDs to disassociate from the product.
* combinedListingRole
[CombinedListingsRole](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/CombinedListingsRole)
The role of the product in a [combined listing](https://shopify.dev/apps/build/product-merchandising/combined-listings). You can specify this field only when you create a product.
* descriptionHtml
[String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)
The description of the product, with HTML tags. For example, the description might include bold `` and italic `` text.
* giftCard
[Boolean](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/Boolean)
Whether the product is a gift card.
* giftCardTemplateSuffix
[String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)
The [theme template](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/templates) that's used when customers view a gift card in a store.
* handle
[String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)
A unique, human-readable string that's used to identify the product in URLs. A handle can contain letters, hyphens (`-`), and numbers, but no spaces. If no handle is explicitly provided, then the title is used to construct the product's handle. For example, if a product is titled "Black Sunglasses" and no handle is provided, then the handle `black-sunglasses` is generated (unless that handle is already taken, in which case a suffix is added to make the handle unique).
* id
[ID](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID)
The product's ID.
If you're creating a product, then you don't need to pass the `id` as input to the [`productCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productCreate) mutation. If you're updating a product, then you do need to pass the `id` as input to the [`productUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productUpdate) mutation to identify which product you want to update.
* metafields
[\[MetafieldInput!\]](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/MetafieldInput)
The [custom fields](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/custom-data) to associate with the product for the purposes of adding and storing additional information.
* productOptions
[\[OptionCreateInput!\]](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/OptionCreateInput)
A list of product options and option values. Maximum product options: three. There's no limit on the number of option values. This input is supported only with the [`productCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productCreate) mutation.
* productType
[String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)
The [product type](https://help.shopify.com/manual/products/details/product-type) that merchants define.
* redirectNewHandle
[Boolean](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/Boolean)
Whether a redirect is required after a new handle has been provided. If `true`, then the old handle is redirected to the new one automatically.
* requiresSellingPlan
[Boolean](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/Boolean)
Whether the product can only be purchased with a [selling plan](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/purchase-options/subscriptions/selling-plans). Products that are sold on subscription (`requiresSellingPlan: true`) can be updated only for online stores. If you update a product to be subscription-only (`requiresSellingPlan:false`), then the product is unpublished from all channels except the online store.
* seo
[SEOInput](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/SEOInput)
The [SEO title and description](https://help.shopify.com/manual/promoting-marketing/seo/adding-keywords) that are associated with a product.
* status
[ProductStatus](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/ProductStatus)
The [product status](https://help.shopify.com/manual/products/details/product-details-page#product-status), which controls visibility across all sales channels.
* tags
[\[String!\]](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)
A list of searchable keywords that are associated with the product. For example, a merchant might apply the `sports` and `summer` tags to products that are associated with sportwear for summer.
Updating `tags` overwrites any existing tags that were previously added to the product. To add new tags without overwriting existing tags, use the [`tagsAdd`](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/tagsadd) mutation.
* templateSuffix
[String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)
The [theme template](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/templates) that's used when customers view a product in a store.
* title
[String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)
The name for the product that displays to customers. If no handle is explicitly provided, then the title is used to construct the product's handle. For example, if a product is titled "Black Sunglasses" and no handle is provided, then the handle `black-sunglasses` is generated.
* vendor
[String](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String)
The name of the product's vendor.
