Products that I’ve archived are still showing up in the General Shipping profile. Why do they appear in any shipping profile if they’re archived?
Topic summary
Main issue: Archived products continue to appear in the General Shipping profile.
Key explanation:
- Archiving does not delete a product; it preserves all associated data (including shipping profile links) so the product can be restored later.
- Because the product remains intact in the system, it still shows up in shipping profiles even when archived.
Outcome and status:
- Clarification provided: visibility in shipping profiles is expected behavior for archived items.
- No specific action items were suggested; if removal from profiles is required, deletion (not archiving) would be the likely approach.
- Discussion appears resolved with an explanation; no further questions or disagreements noted.
Hi @sammc007
Thanks for posting!
As you aren’t deleting the product, you are archiving it, all associated information remains in the case you want to un-archive it.
I hope that makes sense!
