Cannot add product to cart after variant creation

[illusionist3886]

Hi,
We have dynamic options for product along with dynamic prices. We are creating variant by productVariantsBulkCreate. It’s creating variant with inventory but when the item is adding to cart “cart/add.js” it’s not adding to cart and giving error.

```
{“status”:422,
“message”:“The product ‘Mobile Case With Name - variant-1771845932’ is already sold out.”,“description”:“The product ‘Mobile Case With Name - variant-1771845932’ is already sold out.”}
```

If I wait a few seconds and click “cart/add.js” button this works again. Why is the waiting time? How can it be prevented?

Hey @illusionist3886 , this post here looks like a match to the issue you are seeing here:

Intermittent 422 error when adding newly created variant to cart via /cart/add.js

Newly created variants can take a bit of time to propagate. The best way to handle this is to use fixed delays with retry logic.
