Create a product

Product creation can either be fully manual or semi-automatic (based on a pre-defined product catalog).
If you wish to create a Caast product based on a product from your catalog, you can give only a ref as parameter of your query. If the ref match a product ref/SKU in your catalog, other parameters will be ignored and the product will only be created.
Otherwise we will try to create a product manually with the query parameters.

Another special parameter is seller_id. If given, the product catalog search by ref will be limited to products that belongs to the given seller in your catalog. If we can't find any matching product, we will link the manual product creation with the given seller.
