How to update product price with graphql on shopify if there is no product variant

Solution:

Sounds like you're confusing the number of options with variants.

The Product object (https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2023-01/objects/Product#field-product-hasonlydefaultvariant) also has atotalVariants count andhasOnlyDefaultVariant fields

Solution:

Ok, The confusing part was, when you have a product the uri has a product id, if you create a variant, there is a variant id in the uri as well. But i didn't realize that the existance of a default variant id as i never came across of this in the gui, so i never tried to run a variant query on a product without multiple variants.

So running:

 {
  product(id: "gid://shopify/Product/123456798"){    
    variants(first:5 ){ 
      nodes {
        id
        price
      }
    }    
  }      
}
Copy code

Does return the dafault variant id which i can then use for updating.
