  • This has caused inventory accuracy problems in the past

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to delete/archive/hide products which are no longer in a suppliers feed as they have discontinued them. I have been caught out before where are product is showing in stock but in actual fact was not updated because it was no longer in the feed.

Thanks

That would be something you’d have to request to the support team of whichever app you’re using to sync the inventory of your suppliers with the Shopify store.
