Error when attempting to upload a new Product to WooCommerce: “Invalid parameter(s): backorders”,”data”:{“status”:400,”params”:{“backorders”:”backorders is not one of no, notify, yes.”}”

There are a number of mandatory fields that are required when creating a new Product and uploading it to WooCommerce. There is no official list on the WooCommerce website that we have found but from our testing the following fields are required for creating new Products:

• type
• status
• catalog_visibility
• tax_status
• backorders

Some of these fields require specific values as well, so make sure you select from the menus to ensure you are uploading a valid value.
