Mageto Cart API - Add Simple Product with Custom Options and Configurable Products

Hello,

Recently I was working with Magento SOAP API and I was using cart_product.add API of Magento. I had to support three types of products.

1) Simple Products
2) Simple Product with Custom Options
3) Configurable Products

If you try to add simple products with custom options without specifying options it will give you error. Same thing for configurable products. You have to specify product options. If you check their documentation, there is no information about adding options and attributes.  So here in this blog I am going to explain how to do that. check following code.


$client = new SoapClient($baseurl.'/api/soap/?wsdl');
        $session = $client->login(USER,PASS);
        $quote_id = $_POST['quote_id'];
        $arrProducts = null;
        if($_POST['has_options'] == "false"){
        $arrProducts = array(
array(
"product_id" => $_POST['product_id'],
"qty" => $_POST['qty']
)
);
        }else{
        $jsondata = $_POST['product_options'];
        $allOptions = json_decode($jsondata,true);
        $productType = $_POST['product_type'];
       
        if($productType == 'simple'){
        $arrProducts = array(
array(
"product_id" => $_POST['product_id'],
"qty" => $_POST['qty'],
'options' => $allOptions
                                               //array("option1"=>"value1","option2"=>"value2")
)
);
        }else if($productType == 'configurable'){
        $arrProducts = array(
array(
"product_id" => $_POST['product_id'],
"qty" => $_POST['qty'],
'super_attribute' => $allOptions
                                               //array("option1"=>"value1","option2"=>"value2")
)
);
        }
        }

As you can see above first we creating SOAP client and then creating $arrProducts. As you can see in above code we are passing product options as JSON encoded data and passing type of product. If product is simple product we set key as "options" and if product type is configurable product we need key as "super_attribute". I hope this helps you.
