Why is a product not available for sale?
Check whether a product is draft, active, inactive, or archived.
Check Information → Status in the product editor. The available choices are Draft, Active, Inactive, and Archived. In the catalogue, use All Statuses to filter products by their current status.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | The product is being configured and is not yet available for sale |
| Active | The product is available for sale and can be added to orders |
| Inactive | The product exists but cannot currently be sold. This allows businesses to temporarily disable products without deleting them |
| Archived | The 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.
