Hi I am developing a script which makes simple products for magento store. I have added the products through the script but now I want to add custom options to the added simple product. How would I do it through my custom script? Here is how I am adding the product:

$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product'); $product ->setStoreId($store_id) //you can set data in store scope ->setWebsiteIds(array(1)) //website ID the product is assigned to, as an array ->setAttributeSetId(4) //ID of a attribute set named 'default' ->setTypeId('simple') //product type ->setCreatedAt(strtotime('now')) //product creation time ->setWeight(1.0000) ->setStatus(1) //product status (1 - enabled, 2 - disabled) ->setTaxClassId(0) //tax class (0 - none, 1 - default, 2 - taxable, 4 - shipping) ->setVisibility(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_BOTH) //catalog and search visibility ->setHasOptions(true); $product->save();

After this code I want to add the custom options to this added product. How can I do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

Before $product->save(), you can add some code to save. Here's some good guides on how it works and what you need to write. HERE and HERE

Basically...

$options = array(...); // Look at guides how to create this array $product->setCanSaveCustomOptions(true); $product->getOptionInstance()->addOption($option); $product->setHasOptions(true);

  • Don't forget to save the product after this. $product->save(); Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 17:04

Magento provides SOAP API for this. You should use magento SOAP API for add product which is secure and standard method of Magento. For add custom option you can use following API:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/api/soap/catalog/catalogProductCustomOption/product_custom_option.add.html

It has example with explanation of API uses.
