ProductSearch API
APIs

The ProductSearch API gives extensions access to the native product search and fetching functionality of Shopify POS. The interface provides numerous functions to search for products by query, or to fetch the details of one or more products or product variants.

Anchor to productsearchapiProductSearchApi

Anchor to searchProducts searchProducts (searchParams: ) => Promise<<>> required: Search for products on the POS device.
Anchor to fetchProductWithId fetchProductWithId (productId: number) => Promise<> required: Fetches a single product's details.
Anchor to fetchProductsWithIds fetchProductsWithIds (productIds: number[]) => Promise<<>> required: Fetches multiple products' details.
Anchor to fetchProductVariantWithId fetchProductVariantWithId (productVariantId: number) => Promise<> required: Fetches a single product variant's details.
Anchor to fetchProductVariantsWithIds fetchProductVariantsWithIds (productVariantIds: number[]) => Promise<<>> required: Fetches multiple product variants' details.
Anchor to fetchProductVariantsWithProductId fetchProductVariantsWithProductId (productId: number) => Promise<[]> required: Fetches all product variants associated with a product.
Anchor to fetchPaginatedProductVariantsWithProductId fetchPaginatedProductVariantsWithProductId (productId: number, paginationParams: ) => Promise<<>> required: Fetches a page of product variants associated with a product.

ProductSearchParams

Interface for product search

queryString
The search term to be used to search for POS products.
```
string
```
sortType
Specifies the order in which products should be sorted. When a `queryString` is provided, sortType will not have any effect, as the results will be returned in order by relevance to the `queryString`.
```
ProductSortType
```
first
Specifies the number of results to be returned in this page. The maximum number of items that will be returned is 50.
```
number
```
afterCursor
Specifies the page cursor. Items after this cursor will be returned.
```
string
```

export interface ProductSearchParams extends PaginationParams {
  /**
   * The search term to be used to search for POS products.
   */

   * Specifies the order in which products should be sorted. When a `queryString` is provided, sortType will not have any effect, as the results will be returned in order by relevance to the `queryString`.

}

ProductSortType

'RECENTLY_ADDED' | 'RECENTLY_ADDED_ASCENDING' | 'ALPHABETICAL_A_TO_Z' | 'ALPHABETICAL_Z_TO_A'

PaginatedResult

Contains a page of fetched results.

items
The items returned from the fetch.
```
T[]
```
lastCursor
The cursor of the last item. This can be used to fetch more results. The format of this cursor may look different depending on if POS is fetching results from the remote API, or its local database. However, that should not affect its usage with the search functions.
```
string
```
hasNextPage
Whether or not there is another page of results that can be fetched.
```
boolean
```

export interface PaginatedResult<T> {
  /**
   * The items returned from the fetch.
   */
  items: T[];
