# Add products variants to an offer

`POST https://app.stoqapp.com/api/v2/external/preorders/offers/{id}/products/add_variants`

Attach products and variants to a preorder offer, or re-run a collection, tag or all-products selection.

**Note:** Custom selection: pass shopify_variant_ids, shopify_product_ids (every variant of the product) or shopify_collection_id (every product in the collection), all Shopify gids. Already-attached variants come back under already_present and variants Shopify has deleted under deleted_in_shopify. Collection, tag and all-products selections fill themselves: call with no ids to re-run the selection, as the dashboard's 'Add all products' does. Up to 250 variants attach during the call; above that a job does it; either way poll job.status_url until it is completed. skip_variants_in_market_offers: true leaves out variants that a market-specific offer owns. A custom add first runs the offer Products page's pre-flight check (the store-wide Products tab's 'Add to offer', /preorders/products/add_to_offer, runs none): when other offers already have the variants, 'Continue selling' is off where STOQ won't turn it on, or a sales channel can't sell preorders, nothing is added and it answers 409 with code preflight_issues, the issues under preflight and the resolve keys still needed under unresolved. Pass resolve with the Products tab's fix for each issue type (remove_from_conflicting_offers, enable_continue_selling, skip_sales_channel_products), or skip_preflight: true to add without the check. The answer lists what each fix did per variant under resolved.

## Path parameters

- `id` (string, required)

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string): A fresh unique key for every write (a new UUID, say); reuse it only to retry that write. Keys are remembered for 1 hour: the same key and the same request within that hour returns the first result, with `Idempotent-Replayed: true`, without running again; the same key with a different method, path or body is refused (422 `idempotency_key_reused`); a retry while the first is still running gets 409 `idempotency_key_in_progress`. Keys are per store. Server errors and rate limits are not kept, so their retry runs.

## Request body

- `shopify_variant_ids` (array of strings)
- `shopify_product_ids` (any)
- `shopify_collection_id` (any)
- `skip_variants_in_market_offers` (any)
- `skip_preflight` (any)
- `resolve` (any)

## Returns

- `selection` (string): e.g. `custom`
- `shopify_collection_id` (any)
- `tags` (array of anys)
- `eligible_inventory_policy` (string): e.g. `all`
- `excluded_shopify_variant_ids` (array of anys)
- `exclusion_tag` (any)
- `variants_added` (array of strings)
- `already_present` (array of strings)
- `deleted_in_shopify` (array of anys)
- `job` (object)
  - `job_id` (string): e.g. `73a74948-2b57-4cc3-971f-2b441828c977`
  - `status_url` (string): e.g. `/api/v2/external/preorders/product_variants/jobs/73a74948…`
