Create variant — POST /v1/commerce/variant

POST /v1/commerce/variant

A variant is one purchasable SKU of a product — its product id, SKU and UPC, name, media, availability, the option name and value pairs that distinguish it, a sold counter, and its own money and stock: currency, price, MSRP, inventory cost, inventory count and taxability. Inventory and sold are plain writable numbers with no decrement logic behind them here. The same variant also exists as a JSON copy inside its product, and writing one does not update the other. Decodes the body into a new row in the caller org's own namespaced store — isolated to that tenant from its first write — and answers the stored row at 201 with a Location header naming its id. The id is assigned by the store, not taken from the body. A body that fails to decode is 400 and a store that refuses the write is 500. Any valid access token reaches it. The org must also be entitled to the commerce admin: the paywall answers 402 subscription_required unless the org holds an active or trialing pro subscription, a live trial credit or a redeemed invite, and 503 when that entitlement cannot be read rather than admitting on an unknown. A platform superadmin passes straight through. The token must also carry Admin or WriteVariant.

Request

The document declares no body for POST /v1/commerce/variant. The handler is typed in cloud but its shape is not yet emitted, so the fields are not listed here — ask MCP's describe for post_commerce_variant, which answers from the running route.

Response

The document declares no response body for this operation. It answers 200 on success and the platform error shape on failure — see Errors.
