Import and Update via productSet is still lacking some important features

productSet is the way to go as it updates and overwrites options, images, and variants.

A lot is possible in the latest iteration:

  • variants
  • files
  • option values
  • variant metafields
    …in one call

But some features are still missing and that is especially painful thinking that we need to migrate from REST:

  • metafields on product level not only variant level
  • weight and weight_unit
  • activate inventoryManagement (inventoryPolicy, inventoryQuantities is there but not active)
  • hero image for the product
  • discounted prices
  • collections
  • product_type

…and so on

Please this is the one that will help us migrate if done right.
