Shopify is an e-commerce platform which allows you to create an online store for your products you want to sell for all types of customers. It also permits you to remove a product from your Shopify account.

However, removed products cannot be restored. Furthermore, you cannot also export a .csv file for a specific product if you delete that product. Hence, before removing a product permanently, consider the following:

  • Do you want to sell that product again in the future?
  • Would it be easier to edit that product instead of adding a new product from the beginning again?
  • Is there important detail information in the Product description you might need later?

You should hide the product instead of deleting it if your answer is “Yes”.

By using a bulk action, you can easily delete a single product or multiple products at the same time. The products you have deleted will be removed from Shopify permanently. If you do not want to permanently delete them from your store, you can hide the products. Undeniably, hiding is a great choice if you want to remove a product from your Shopify store temporarily while if you want to remove a product permanently, deleting is the best one.
