createProductVariantsWorkflow - Medusa Core Workflows Reference

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

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

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

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