Why is a product not available for sale?

Check whether a product is draft, active, inactive, or archived.

Each product has a status that determines whether it is available for sale.

StatusDescription
DraftThe product is being configured and is not yet available for sale
ActiveThe product is available for sale and can be added to orders
InactiveThe product exists but cannot currently be sold. This allows businesses to temporarily disable products without deleting them
ArchivedThe product is no longer actively used but remains stored in the system. Archived products can be restored if needed

Deleting products

Products can be permanently deleted. Deleting a product removes it completely from the system and cannot be undone.

Because of this, archiving is often used instead of deleting when a product may be needed again later.
