# Edit a External/Affiliate Product — WooCommerce

Botize method — `woocommerce.edit_product_external` (action).

Edit a External/Affiliate Product by Product Id.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `mb_switch` *(boolean)* — Rules
- `product_id` *(string)* — Product Id
- `name` *(string)* — Product name
- `manual_slug` *(boolean)* — Use a custom slug
- `slug` *(string)*
- `description` *(string)* — Description
- `short_description` *(string)* — Short Description
- `regular_price` *(string)* — Regular Price
- `sale_price` *(string)* — Sale Price
- `external_url` *(string)* — External URL
- `categories` *(string)* — Category IDs (separated by comma)
- `button_text` *(string)* — Button Text (shown on the button that links to the external product)
- `image_src` *(string)* — Image URL
- `status` *(string, one of: "publish"; "draft"; "pending"; "private")* — Status

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `mb_filters_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{product_id}}` *(text)* — Product Id
- `{{permalink}}` *(text)* — Permalink
