SaveProductsBulk

Saves the product data on the Global‑e system. This method is designated to be called from a Merchant’s back-end ERP system before the products are published on the Merchant’s website, to provide the data for duties and taxes calculation as soon as possible. Therefore, no end customer-specific information is expected to be provided (unlike in the SaveProductsList method mentioned in the Browsing section of this document).
