Collections- Deleting Products

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user wants to create a product collection that is hidden from the rest of their Shopify webstore. They’re also looking for a way to delete products directly from a collection after a few days without manually removing each item from the entire product database.

Current Challenge:

  • No built-in method found to hide collection products from appearing elsewhere on the site
  • No direct option to delete products from within a collection view

Suggested Solution:
Another user recommends checking out the Locksmith app, which offers features to restrict access to specific pages and collections, potentially addressing the visibility concern.

I want to have a collection of products but I don’t want those items to be shown anywhere else on the webstore.

I have not seen a way to do this.

Also I am going to have a list of products in a certain Collection, but after a few days, or whever I want to delete those products entirely from the webstore.

I don’t see a way to delete products directly from the collection. Is this possible?

I don’t want to have to go through the entire product database an delete each one manually.

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks,

JimD

Hi @James_Dubay !

You can try to check application that has a feature where you can put some restrictions to some of your collection pages. Kindly check this one out: Locksmith.
