## Mutations with this payload

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

  mutation

  Creates a [product](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/Product) with attributes such as title, description, vendor, and media.

  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 `productCreate` mutation has a [throttle](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/rate-limits#resource-based-rate-limits) 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 The `productCreate` mutation creates products in an unpublished state by default, so you must perform a separate operation to publish the product.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.
