Hi Shramik,

You may need to use the productVariantAppendMedia mutation to associate the media with the variants. It would look something like:

     mutation AppendMediaToVariant {
       productVariantAppendMedia(
         productId: "gid://shopify/Product/8550154928285",
         variantMedia: [
           {
             variantId: "gid://shopify/ProductVariant/VARIANT_ID",
             mediaIds: ["gid://shopify/MediaImage/30748160327837"]
           }
         ]
       ) {
         product {
           id
         }
         productVariants {
           id
           media(first: 10) {
             edges {
               node {
                 id
                 mediaContentType
               }
             }
           }
         }
         userErrors {
           field
           message
         }
       }
     }

Can you try this first and then the productVariantsBulkCreate mutation again?

Hi , @Liam-Shopify thanks for the reply .
i guess you meant to say ,
Step 1 : first createProduct with media associated .
Step 2 : then productVariantsBulkCreate without MediaId

productVariantsBulkCreate Input

{
  "productGid": "gid://shopify/Product/8550154928285",
  "variationData": [
    {
      "price": 20.95,
      "sku": "733739029430",
      "inventoryItem": {
        "tracked": true
      },
      "inventoryQuantities": {
        "availableQuantity": 6,
        "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/76652937373"
      },
      "weight": 0,
      "weightUnit": "POUNDS",
      "optionValues": [
        {
          "name": "2400 GDU/g - 500mg - 60 veg capsules",
          "optionName": "Variation"
        }
      ],
    },
    {
      "price": 38.95,
      "sku": "733739029478",
      "inventoryItem": {
        "tracked": true
      },
      "inventoryQuantities": {
        "availableQuantity": 12,
        "locationId": "gid://shopify/Location/76652937373"
      },
      "weight": 0,
      "weightUnit": "POUNDS",
      "optionValues": [
        {
          "name": "2400 GDU/g - 500mg - 120 veg capsules",
          "optionName": "Variation"
        }
      ],
    }
  ]
}

get the list of variants created .

Step 3 : Map the mediaId from Step 1 with respective variantId from step 2
and input in the productVariantAppendMedia mutation .

Am i right in this flow ? @Liam-Shopify
