Product Modifier Options

International Enhancements for Multi-Storefront

This feature is currently available for Enterprise stores and Partner Sandboxes. If the feature is not working as expected, please contact technical support, as the feature likely needs to be enabled for the individual store. To become an enterprise customer, contact your BigCommerce Customer Service Manager or our support team (opens in a new tab).

Using the Catalog features of the Admin API, you can set and query information about a product modifier options, for example, option name and values.

You can perform the following:

You can also set and remove information for shared modifiers (opens in a new tab). The changes affect all products that you assign to the shared modifier. Querying modifier options returns all modifiers, including shared ones.

For a full schema, see the GraphQL Admin API reference (opens in a new tab).

Input fields

Setting or removing information requires that you specify ID fields in the input. For more information on how to specify ID fields, see Input fields.

Set product modifier options

Set information about a product modifier option for a store or a locale within a storefront channel.

The following mutations let you set the name and values for existing modifier options. You must first create the modifier option for the product through the control panel or the REST Create a product modifier endpoint.

The responses may include all modifier options, including those that are shared. However, to set shared modifier options, use the mutations in Set shared modifier options.

Set product modifier options at the global level

The following example sets global product modifier information for the store, from which channels inherit by default. You can set the modifier name and values.
