Step 3: Update a product using Postman

Before updating a product, you need to get a product_ID of that product because the update call includes that parameter. 

To get the product_ID, let’s follow the process below.

  • From Wix dashboard.
  • Go to “Store Products”.
  • Click on “Products”.
  • Then choose the product that you want to update the information on. 
  • Finally, copy the ID in the URL.
Wix API - How to update a product using Postman

In this case, the product_ID=df19c1f7-07d8-a265-42f8-e8dfa824cc6e

We are ready to update a product using Postman with Wix API. 

  • Log in to your Postman and create a new workspace.
  • Create a new PATCH with this URL:
https://www.wixapis.com/stores/v1/products/{product.id}

HEADER:  ‘Authorization: <ACCESS TOKEN>’

In the body, enter the code.

This code contains the product information that you want to update.

This is the current discount code value and the product price.
