Archive or unarchive products

Archive products you no longer want to sell without deleting them. You can unarchive them later if needed. For stock products, you can also archive and unarchive individual stock variations.

Before you start

• Make sure you have the permission to edit Products in Venue Manager.
• Archiving removes a product from sale but keeps historical data available in reporting, when supported.
• For stock products, you can archive or unarchive individual variations.

Keep in mind

• Archived products are no longer available for sale.
• To include or exclude archived items in reporting, use the reports product filter, then scroll to the Archived products section.
• For stock products, unarchiving a variation clears the SKU code (barcodes) field.
