can you please help me, I have task:
I need to write code that update WooCommerce product (on admin page) without page reload, I want to use ajax.
So, what I did: I’m serialize data and put it in object formData. And now I have $_POST[‘formData’] with all data of the default WordPress submit form.
var formData = new FormData();
var formData = $(this).serialize();
$.ajax({
url: ajax_data.ajax_url,
type: 'POST',
data: {
action : 'save_post',
formData : formData,
},
But i’m need your suggest, which tools to use better. I know that woocommerce offer wc_product class. But in my $_POST[‘formData’] i have next output:

And we can see properties which offer us woocommerce

);
That is not match with default post form of product page by submit.
Question: Do i need to use that wc class (wc_product) or i need to use something different to solve my issue?
>Solution :
$product = new WC_Product_Simple($product_id);
$product->set_regular_price(15);
$product->save();
You can use product classes like WC_Product_Grouped, WC_Product_External, WC_Product_Variable… for corresponding product types.
