Issue Summary

I am using producTService to create a product and sales channel Service to create a sales channel like:

  const productService: IProductModuleService = container.resolve(
    Modules.PRODUCT
  )

  const channelService = container.resolve(
    Modules.SALES_CHANNEL
  )

    defaultChannel = await channelService.createSalesChannels({is_disabled: false, name: DEFAULT_SALES_CHANNEL_NAME});

    await productService.upsertProducts(productObj);

Now, I have a product and a sales channel, but I don't know how to attact a product to the sales channel. Upser/createProduct UpsertProductDTO extends UpdateProductDTO type has nothing for channels. IProductModuleService has no method for set sales channel like createProductCategories. ISalesChannelModuleService type has no such method for assign a product, too.

Another question is - by default it seems that products without a sales channel aren't public querable, why and how to stop that?

What you're looking for here is a Module Link. You can read about it here.

It will look something along these lines:

const linker = container.resolve(ContainerRegistrationKeys.LINK)

const createdLinks = await linker.create({
  [Modules.PRODUCT]: { product_id: "prod_1234" },
  [Modules.SALES_CHANNEL]: { sales_channel_id: "sc_1234" }
})

In the Store API, we require products to be associated with a sales channel, as this is an indication from where the purchase of the products was made. If you don't need multiple sales channels in your setup, you can use the default channel. This is also how the default Medusa starter is set up.

Thanks, it is const linker = container.resolve(ContainerRegistrationKeys.REMOTE_LINK), not LINK.

I am unable to get the link loaded inside the workflow using the container.resolve() if I access the container from the framework then it works ? What could be wrong ?
