Hello Magento Folks,
Welcome to Create Product Programmatically in Magento 2 series where I will illustrate how to create configurable products programmatically in Magento 2.
If you are reading this tutorial then you are probably new to Magento. Therefore, firstly check out the types of products in my previous blog Magento 2 Product Types: All You Need to Know Guide. Basically, creating products programmatically helps the developers to set up online stores effortlessly. When there is a requirement for different colors and sizes for the same product then in Magento you will need to create a configurable product.
Mainly we can create 6 types of products Programmatically in Magento 2:
Step 1: Firstly create a configurable_product.php file in the Magento root directory and add the below-given code
<?php use Magento\Framework\AppInterface; try { require_once __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php'; } catch (\Exception $e) { echo 'Autoload error: ' . $e->getMessage(); exit(1); } try { $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER); $objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager(); $appState = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State'); $appState->setAreaCode('frontend'); $configurableproduct = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product'); $configurableproduct->setSku("configurable_sku"); // set Your SKU $configurableproduct->setName("Configurable Name"); // set Your Configurable Name $configurableproduct->setAttributeSetId(4); // set attribute id $configurableproduct->setStatus(1); // status enabled/disabled 1/0 $configurableproduct->setTypeId('configurable'); // type of product (simple/virtual/downloadable/configurable) $configurableproduct->setVisibility(4); // visibility of product (Not Visible Individually (1) / Catalog (2)/ Search (3)/ Catalog, Search(4)) $configurableproduct->setPrice(0); $configurableproduct->setTaxClassId(0); // Tax class ID $configurableproduct->setWebsiteIds(array(1)); // set website Id $category_id = array(2, 3); $configurableproduct->setCategoryIds($category_id); $configurableproduct->setStockData(array( 'use_config_manage_stock' => 0, 'manage_stock' => 1, 'is_in_stock' => 1, ) ); $configurableattributesdata = $configurableproduct->getTypeInstance()->getConfigurableAttributesAsArray($configurableproduct); $configurableproduct->setCanSaveConfigurableAttributes(true); $configurableproduct->setConfigurableAttributesData($configurableattributesdata); $configurableproductsdata = array(); $configurableproduct->setConfigurableProductsData($configurableproductsdata); try { $configurableproduct->save(); } catch (Exception $ex) { echo '<pre>'; print_r($ex->getMessage()); exit(1); } $product_id = $configurableproduct->getId(); $associatedproductids = array(1,9); try { $configurableproduct_load = $objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($product_id); $configurableproduct_load->setAssociatedProductIds($associatedproductids); $configurableproduct_load->setCanSaveConfigurableAttributes(true); $configurableproduct_load->save(); echo "configurable product save successfully"; } catch (Exception $e) { echo "<pre>"; print_r($e->getMessage()); exit(1); } }catch (Exception $e) { echo "<pre>"; print_r($e->getMessage()); exit(1); }
Step 2: After the above step you will need to run the below-given URL to create a configurable product.
https://yourdomain.com/configurable_product.php
Hopefully, all are able to create configurable products programmatically in Magento 2 using the above code. As customary of Magento, clear cache and reindex to display output on the frontend of your Magento 2 store. Let me know implementation concerns in the comment section below.

Hey Dhiren
I am having an excel sheet of products exported from WordPress store.
I have created same product attributes in magento. Now I want to import products to magento with code.
Above code is fine but I am clear how to add attribute data to array.
Could you please help me out .
Thanks
You need to do the customization of the above code, Instead of static data value for the product,
Read data from your CSV file one by one and create a product.
