# ProductCreateInput
input\_object
The input fields required to create 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.
* 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).
* 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).
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
