  description: 'The Catalog Data Ingestion API allows you to create and manage products and price books and directly integrate catalog data with the Commerce catalog service.


    This API provides the following resource collections to create and update catalog data:


    - <strong>[Product Metadata](#tag/ProductMetadata)</strong>—define and manage product attribute metadata including display settings, search characteristics, filtering options, and sorting rules.

    - <strong>[Category Metadata](#tag/CategoryMetadata)</strong>—define and manage category attribute metadata.

    - <strong>[Categories](#tag/Categories)</strong>—Define and manage categories with hierarchical structure to build navigation menu.

    - <strong>[Products](#tag/Products)</strong>—Define and manage catalog items with their attributes (name, description, SKU, images, and variants).

    - <strong>[Price books](#tag/Price-Books)</strong>—Define and manage pricing scopes for different customer tiers and markets.

    - <strong>[Prices](#tag/Prices)</strong>—Define and manage product SKU prices and their associated price books.

    - <strong>[Product Layers](#tag/Product-Layers)</strong>—Define and manage product layers to customize and override base product data for specific contexts, locales, or business requirements.

      summary: Create or replace product layers
      description: "Create product layers to customize and override base product data for specific contexts, locales, or business requirements.\n\nProduct layers enable you to:\n- Override product attributes for specific markets or channels\n- Provide locale-specific content while maintaining a global base product\n- Create seasonal or promotional variations without duplicating entire product records\n- Implement A/B testing scenarios with different product presentations\n\nFor details on how to use layers with Adobe Commerce Optimizer, see\n[Catalog Layers](https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce/optimizer/setup/catalog-layer) in the\nAdobe Commerce Optimizer documentation.\n\n## Layer behavior and requirements\n\n**Required fields:**\n- `sku`: Must match an existing base product SKU\n- `source.layer`: Identifies the layer name for organization and retrieval\n\n**Optional Fields:**\n- `source.locale`: When specified, layer applies only to that locale. When omitted, layer applies globally across all locales\n- All product fields (name, description, images, and so on): Override corresponding base product values\n\n## Merging logic\n\nProduct layers use intelligent merging:\n- **Simple fields** (name, description, and so on): Complete replacement of base values\n- **Array fields** (attributes, images, etc.): First-level arrays are merged with base arrays\n- **Nested arrays** (attribute.values, etc.): Complete replacement of nested arrays\n\n**Example:** Adding a color variant while preserving existing attributes:\n```json\n{\n  \"sku\": \"red-pants\",\n  \"source\": {\n    \"locale\": \"en-US\",\n    \"layer\": \"seasonal-colors\"\n  },\n  \"attributes\": [\n    {\n      \"code\": \"color\",\n      \"values\": [\"Crimson Red\", \"Deep Red\"],\n      \"variantReferenceId\": \"pants-color-crimson\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n"
