Answer 1

You are missing the "product" key in the $product array, please check the below code that there is a "product" key, and inside that, all the product details are there. You have to pass the data in JSON format, but you are using http_build_query, which Shopify doesn't accept with application/json header, so please use the below code to create a product via PHP curl.

<?php 
    $productData = [
        "product" => [
            "title" => "Burton Custom Freestyle 151", 
            "body_html" => "<strong>Good snowboard!</strong>", 
            "vendor" => "Burton", 
            "product_type" => "Snowboard", 
            "variants" => [
                [
                    "option1" => "Blue", 
                    "option2" => "155" 
                ], 
                [
                    "option1" => "Black", 
                    "option2" => "159" 
                ]
            ],
            "options" => [
                [
                    "name" => "Color", 
                    "values" => [
                        "Blue", 
                        "Black" 
                    ]
                ], 
                [
                    "name" => "Size", 
                    "values" => [
                        "155", 
                        "159" 
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ];
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://your-development-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2022-10/products.json');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
            'X-Shopify-Access-Token' => '{access_token}',
            'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    ]);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($productData));
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
