createProductTypesWorkflow - Medusa Core Workflows Reference

This documentation provides a reference to the createProductTypesWorkflow. It belongs to the @medusajs/medusa/core-flows package.

This workflow creates one or more product types. It's used by the Create Product Type Admin API Route.

This workflow has a hook that allows you to perform custom actions on the created product types. For example, you can pass under additional_data custom data that allows you to create custom data models linked to the product types.

You can also use this workflow within your own custom workflows, allowing you to wrap custom logic around product-type creation.
