Set default value for HS code

Codems

Hi,

I have a omni shop (retail + e-com), I want to set a default value for the field HS code when a new product is created in the e-com.

It does not seem possible to set a default value via the interface and the API won't let us update products field because we have a omni shop.

Is there a way to set a default value for some field? Or to allow the API to update field that are only in e-com?

Hi @Codems,

The easiest way to update the HS fields is to make a product export, fill in the HS fields and then import it.

Tip: make sure to make a back-up first and that Excel or Libre-office does not remove the first 0 when you save the file.

Hi,

But this will only update the existing products. What I want to do is to set a default HS Code value to new products when they are created from Retail and copied over e-com.

What I had in mind was to add a webhook to listen to product creation and use the API to set the HS Code value. But the API is not working for updating products because I have an omni shop.

I will send you a private message to discuss this further.
