# Creating/Deleting Products with Shopify Webhooks

**Creating/Deleting Products With The Help Of Shopify Webhooks**

Shopify offers webhooks for real-time communication between apps. HotWax Commerce utilizes Shopify's [new product and product delete webhooks](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-07/resources/product#delete-products-product-id) to promptly create or delete products in HotWax Commerce. The Job Manager app enables this webhook. However, there are two limitations when using Shopify's webhook:

* It only tracks the creation or deletion of parent products and not product variants.
* Shopify states that [webhook delivery isn't always guaranteed](https://shopify.dev/apps/webhooks#limitation), and suggests implementing reconciliation jobs to periodically fetch data from Shopify.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hotwax.co/documents/learn-shopify/shopify-integration/products/products-shopify-webhooks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
