Overview

The node integrates with the Printcart API to manage products and other related resources. Specifically, for the Update Product operation under the Product resource, it allows users to update an existing product's details such as name, dimensions, status, allowed file types, and various feature toggles.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where you need to automate or programmatically manage product information within a Printcart store, such as updating product specifications after receiving new data from another system or adjusting product availability dynamically.

Practical example:
You have an e-commerce platform that syncs product details with Printcart. When a product's attributes change (e.g., size, description, or status), this node can be used to update the corresponding product in Printcart automatically.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Printcart API.
  • Requires an API token credential configured in n8n for authentication.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Printcart API endpoints over HTTPS.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Product ID will cause the API call to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API token will result in authentication errors.
    • Providing invalid values for required fields (e.g., non-numeric values for numeric fields) may cause request rejection.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • 401 Unauthorized: Check that the API token is valid and correctly configured.
    • 404 Not Found: Verify that the Product ID exists in Printcart.
    • 400 Bad Request: Ensure all required fields are provided and formatted correctly.
    • 500 Internal Server Error: Retry later or contact Printcart support if persistent.
