I did try following , it returned be true. but it is not showing up in the admin catalog

WebServices3SoapClient ws = new WebServices3SoapClient(); AuthenticationToken token = ws.Login("xxxxxxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxxxxx");
Product product = new Product();
product.Sku = "gksku123";
product.ProductName = "gktest123";
product.SitePrice = 4.95m;
// insert new product into database
bool created = ws.Catalog_InternalProduct_Insert(ref token, product);
// retrieve new product from database
product = ws.Catalog_InternalProduct_FindBySku(ref token, "123");
product.ShippingWeight = 2.5m;
// update product
bool updated = ws.Catalog_InternalProduct_Update(ref token, product);

I suspect you will see the product in the database if you query it using SQL. I think the problem is that you didn't set the SpecialProductType field, so it's probably not the right value. For regular products (i.e. not gift certificates or kits), you want the value to be "0" (no quotes).

Thanks Aaron,

I did for SpecialProductType = 0, and the product is still not showing up, but I can query via "FindByBvin" or "FindBySku"

Confused still why it is not showing up

Quote:

var client = new WebServices3SoapClient();
AuthenticationToken authenticationToken = client.Login("xxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");



Product p = client.Catalog_InternalProduct_FindBySku(ref authenticationToken, "FIL-70139-KB");//this is an existing produc

string productName = "mytestproduct";
string sku = "mytestsku";

string productBvin = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();


Product newProduct = new Product()
{
Bvin = productBvin,
Saved = true,
Sku = sku,
ProductName = productName,
LongDescription = productName,
ShortDescription = productName,
MinimumQty = 1,
OutOfStockMode = ProductInventoryMode1.LeaveOnStore,
ProductTypeId = p.ProductTypeId,
SitePrice = 10,
Status = ProductStatus.Active,
Categories = p.Categories,
Groups = p.Groups,
VendorId = p.VendorId,
ManufacturerId = p.ManufacturerId,
ShippingMode = ShippingMode.ShipFromSite,
SpecialProductType = 0,




};

bool created = client.Catalog_InternalProduct_Insert(ref authenticationToken, newProduct);
//here created returning true, but nothing in the catalog being show

Ok. Anyway Aaaron's direction helped.

It is an enum SpecialProductTypes1.Normal

string productName = "mytestproduct";
string sku = "mytestsku";

string productBvin = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();


Product newProduct = new Product()
{
Bvin = productBvin,
Saved = true,
Sku = sku,
ProductName = productName,
LongDescription = productName,
ShortDescription = productName,
MinimumQty = 1,
OutOfStockMode = ProductInventoryMode1.LeaveOnStore,
ProductTypeId = p.ProductTypeId,
SitePrice = 10,
Status = ProductStatus.Active,
Categories = p.Categories,
Groups = p.Groups,
VendorId = p.VendorId,
ManufacturerId = p.ManufacturerId,
ShippingMode = ShippingMode.ShipFromSite,
SpecialProductType = SpecialProductTypes1.Normal,
