## Mutations

* [product​Variants​Bulk​Create](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productVariantsBulkCreate)

  mutation

  Creates multiple [product variants](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductVariant) for a single [product](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product) in one operation. You can run this mutation directly or as part of a [bulk operation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/bulk-operations/imports) for large-scale catalog updates.

  Use the `productVariantsBulkCreate` mutation to efficiently add new product variants—such as different sizes, colors, or materials—to an existing product. The mutation is helpful if you need to add product variants in bulk, such as importing from an external system.

  The mutation supports:

  * Creating variants with custom option values
  * Associating media (for example, images, videos, and 3D models) with the product or its variants
  * Handling complex product configurations

  ***

  Note

  By default, stores have a limit of 2048 product variants for each product.

  ***

  After creating variants, you can make additional changes using one of the following mutations:

  * [`productVariantsBulkUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productVariantsBulkUpdate): Updates multiple product variants for a single product in one operation.
  * [`productSet`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productSet): Used to perform multiple operations on products, such as creating or modifying product options and variants.

  You can also specifically manage product options through related mutations:

  * [`productOptionsCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsCreate)
  * [`productOptionUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionUpdate)
  * [`productOptionsReorder`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsReorder)
  * [`productOptionsDelete`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productOptionsDelete)
