Overview
This node integrates with the Shopware Admin API to manage products, orders, and customers within a Shopware e-commerce system. Specifically, for the Product - Update operation, it updates existing product details such as name, description, price, and stock quantity.
Typical use cases include:
- Automatically updating product information in Shopware when changes occur in an external inventory or ERP system.
- Adjusting stock levels based on sales or restocking events.
- Modifying product descriptions or prices as part of marketing campaigns or pricing strategies.
For example, you could use this node to update the price and stock of a product identified by its ID after receiving new data from a supplier.

Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing product ID: Ensure the ID corresponds to an existing product in Shopware.
- Insufficient permissions: The API key used must have rights to update products.
- Incorrect API URL or network issues: Verify connectivity and correct endpoint configuration.
- Validation errors: For example, providing invalid data types for price or stock may cause the API to reject the request.
Error messages:
"Unknown error": Generic fallback if no specific message is returned; check API credentials and network.- API validation errors will be passed through; review the error details to adjust input data accordingly.
To resolve errors, verify all input parameters, ensure proper API credentials, and confirm that the Shopware instance is reachable.
