woocommerce api add product with custom id

I'm looking for a way to add products from another system into WooCommerce using the API while maintaining the old system's reference id.

The other system has a unique key for each product which I would like to use for accessing the products in WooCommerce through the WooCommerce API.

What would be the easiest way to do this?

I'm considering repurposing the slug field in Woocommerce to hold the old system id and then doing a filter on that when retrieving products. Is this an appropriate solution?

I used the slug field like I suggested in the question above and it's working fine.

Would recommend this approach to others, as it allows your key to be accessible via the API.
