Deleting products

You can delete a single product in your store or remove multiple products at once, for example, get rid of all sample products. When you remove a product, it’s permanently deleted from your store, but is still displayed in the sales history on the Orders page in your Sauecommerce admin. If you want to hide any product from customers but don’t want to delete it, you can disable it instead.

Once you sign up with Sauecommerce, your store will have sample products. They are not actual items and were created just as an example of how your catalog may look. If you don’t delete them, sample products remain in your catalog but not counted as your products. If you edit them, they will count as if you added your own product. You can add as many items as your plan allows. Before adding your own products, delete samples so customers won’t get confused over test items in your store.

Disable products

Hiding particular products from customers can be helpful if you sell seasonal clothes, Holiday specials, or just run out of stock. Disabled products will not be shown to your customers, but they will remain in your catalog in the Sauecommerce admin. You can enable them at any time.

To hide products from customers:

From your Sauecommerce admin, go to Catalog → Products.
Turn off the Enabled toggler for the product you want to disable.
To disable products in bulk, select products you want to disable (you can use product filter to find all the items you want to disable) and click Mass Update → Enable or Disable → Disable Selected.

To show the product, turn the toggler back on.

You can manage availability of certain products automatically with the help of the Product Availability Scheduler app

Delete products

You can delete any product if you are not going to sell it. You also need to remove test products after creating a store so when you go live your customers won’t be confused with the test items.

To delete demo products that appear when you create a new account, click Delete All Sample Products that appears above the product list.

If you want to remove a product from a category, you can unassign the product from this category. If you want to remove products from the Featured Products section only, you should remove these products from the default Store Front Page category.
