Creating Deals via API - Confused about relationship of items & products

[PreP]

We're creating deals via API to update any offline sales and I'm confused with the products to deal line items relationship. Legacy API documentation states that there is a relationship with the products object and items object.

However from what I understand in the new documentation there is no relationship with products and deal line items. It seems like I can simply create a deal via the API and create line items associated with it with no associations to products.

Could someone confirm this?

Hi @PreP,

Thanks for sharing!

So if you don't want to sync in the eCommerce pipeline, you can follow the traditional approach.

Hello @PreP ,

If you want to use products from the HubSpot products library and your business is eCommerce, then you can follow the ecomm bridge documented here - https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/ecomm-bridge/v2/ecommerce-bridge-overview

Else you are correct, you can create the deal and line items with association without using products too.

We do have a connection with our ecommerce store which is WooCommerce, and product library is syced via the ecommerce bridge. However these deals that we're creating via API is for deals originating from offline sources. That's where I'm having the issue with line items.
