Import product from catalog

Imports a standardized product from the product catalog into a project. The product is copied into the project, allowing project-specific configuration without affecting the original catalog entry.

How it works:

  1. Select a product from the catalog by providing its productId
  2. Set the quantity for this product in the project
  3. Optionally select an active variant (e.g., Standard, Pro, Enterprise)
  4. Select any required options and optional add-ons

Product Isolation: When imported, the product becomes a copy within the project. Any subsequent changes to the product in this project do not affect the original catalog entry. This ensures historical accuracy for quotes and invoices.

Pricing: The final price is calculated based on:

  • Base product pricing (fixed, subscription, or per-unit)
  • Selected variant pricing adjustments
  • Selected option value extra pricing
  • Quantity multiplier

Required fields:

  • productId: UUID of the catalog product to import
  • quantity: Minimum 1
  • options: Array of option selections (can be empty array)

Optional fields:

  • activeVariantId: UUID of the variant to activate

Returns the ID of the newly created product in the project.
