Remove items
4 min
Optimizely Configured Commerce has three ways to remove items:
- Delete – Completely removes the item from the database and should only be done if the item was added erroneously or is a duplicate.
- Archive – A soft delete that removes the item from the site but does not delete it from the database. You can quickly restore archived products.
- Deactivate – A temporary method tied to a specific date. This can be useful if the product is a promotional item only available for a limited time.
