The `productCreate` mutation helps you create many products at once, avoiding the tedious or time-consuming process of adding them one by one in the Shopify admin. Common examples include creating products for a new collection, launching a new product line, or adding seasonal products. You can define product [options](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductOption) and [values](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductOptionValue), allowing you to create products with different variations like sizes or colors. You can also associate media files to your products, including images and videos. The `productCreate` mutation only supports creating a product with its initial [product variant](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/ProductVariant). To create multiple product variants for a single product and manage prices, use the [`productVariantsBulkCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productVariantsBulkCreate) mutation. *** **Note:** The \\product\Create\\ mutation has a \throttle\ that takes effect when a store has 50,000 product variants. After this threshold is reached, no more than 1,000 new product variants can be created per day. *** After you create a product, you can make subsequent edits to the product using one of the following mutations: * [`publishablePublish`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/publishablePublish): Used to publish the product and make it available to customers. The `productCreate` mutation creates products in an unpublished state by default, so you must perform a separate operation to publish the product. * [`productUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productUpdate): Used to update a single product, such as changing the product's title, description, vendor, or associated media. * [`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.
