Create and manage products and orders in Commerce7 for a winery's direct-to-consumer store via the API

Steps

1. Set up a Commerce7 developer app and obtain API credentials as described in the Commerce7 API documentation before making requests.
2. For bulk product creation, use the Products API rather than manual entry in the admin UI when loading a large catalog, per Commerce7's own guidance for substantial product counts.
3. Confirm required product fields (including a valid wine varietal from Commerce7's supported list, where applicable) are populated correctly to avoid validation errors.
4. Use the Orders API to create, retrieve, or update orders, keeping Commerce7's order/checkout data model in mind when integrating with external systems like accounting or fulfillment.
5. If migrating from a legacy WineDirect SaaS account, review Commerce7's WineDirect-acquisition FAQ documentation, since Commerce7 acquired WineDirect's SaaS business and current migration guidance is published on Commerce7's documentation site.
