Add UPC field to Product API

[electrictomcats]

In the Products API the UPC field is missing. This is an essential field to be able to scan items in most shipping systems and we need to be able to track and update it.
Please add the UPC field to Product Get and Update API actions.

Thank you for the response Cara, it is comforting to see that someone is reading these requests.

Any idea on if or when this might get implemented?

[electrictomcats]

@CaraAdmin is there any update on if and when this might get fixed?

Hello, @electrictomcats!

Thank you for the post. This is helpful as we consider more API offerings. We are working hard to improve our inventory offering this year, and this includes work on OpenAPI. We don't have dates to share yet, but please stay tuned!

Happy Shipping!

Hello, @electrictomcats!

Thank you for the poke! We are currently building this, but I cannot promise a release date.

Someone from the development team may contact you to ask further questions regarding this feature request!

Happy Shipping!

Yes, More info on the API upgrade is needed. I am amazed that the API is lacking in many areas. UPC is one. Adding new items and bundles (Should have been a part of the bundle rollout). Most prominent companies need API integration, and keeping the API fresh is the most important thing.

This feature has finally been implemented. Thank you ShipStation team.

Please show how and where this has been Implemented?  i have looked at the API and I don't see field nor do i see a notification of the change to the API...   thanks.

[PointOfSaleDev]

It appears ShipStation has yet to update their API documentation to reflect this change (though I could have sworn the documentation was updated at one point).

I actively use the API so that's how I discovered the updates. I have been able to fetch and update product UPCs using the API.

Try fetching (programmatically) a product using the get-product or list-products endpoints. You'll notice that the JSON response payload now contains a 'upc' property. That property can be changed using the update-product endpoint as well.

Hello @PointOfSaleDev!

Thank you for your post! I’ve spoken with the development team, and they are currently working on updating the API documentation. In the meantime, please know that these fields are both returnable and editable in the appropriate API call.

Thank you for your patience!
