How to access on Fynd Commerce
  1. Commerce Panel

  3. My products
note

You can disable a product instead of deleting it. Click product availability to know more.

If you are sure that you want to delete a product, we still insist that you first disable the product, and then delete it as shown in the videos below. Not disabling the product and deleting it might result in imageless products on your website.

Inactive a product or Delete a product​

caution

Product deletion is an irreversible process. Once deleted, it cannot be restored. You will have to create it again.

  1. You might want to make a product unavailable on all your sales channels instead of deleting it. Use the toggle button in the Product Availability section of the product. This is a safe way of keeping the product hibernated for future use without actually deleting it.
  1. Go back to the product you wish to delete. Next, go to Edit → Edit Inventory.
  1. Remove the existing inventory (if any) of the product.
  1. Go back to the All Products page, find the product you wish to delete, and click Edit → Delete Product.
  1. Confirm the deletion of the product.

Your product is successfully deleted. It will no longer appear on the platform and your sales channel(s).

Delete multiple product sizes using Excel​

You can delete specific product sizes in bulk using the export and import functionality in the Commerce Panel. This approach is useful when you want to retain the product but remove only selected size variants.

note

You can’t delete all sizes of a product using this method. To remove all sizes, delete the entire product instead.

Step 1: Export product data​

  1. Sign in to the Commerce Panel.

  2. Go to Products > My products.

  3. Use the filters to:

    • Select the appropriate product type (Standard, Set, Composite, or Digital)
    • Select the relevant department
    • Select the appropriate template

  4. Download the product data file.

Step 2: Prepare the file for deletion​

  1. Open the exported file in Excel.

  2. Delete all rows except those with the product sizes you want to delete.

  3. Ensure only rows for specific sizes to be deleted are present.

  4. Delete all columns except the following:

    • item_code
    • brand
    • size

  5. Add a new column titled command (lowercase or uppercase).

  6. In the command column, enter Delete in each row corresponding to the size you want to remove.

note

Ensure there are no extra rows. If there are sizes of the same product you don’t want to delete, remove them from the sheet.

Step 3: Import the deletion file​

  1. Go back to the Commerce Panel.

  2. Go to Products > Import.

  3. Choose:

    • Product
    • The same product type, department, and template used during export.

  4. Upload the updated file.

  5. Review the preview screen, then confirm the upload to start the deletion process.

Step 4: Monitor deletion status​

  1. Go to Upload history to check the status:

    • Pending, Completed, or Failed

  2. Select the file name to view detailed results.

  3. Use Refresh to update the file status if necessary.

Delete multiple products using Excel​

You can delete products in bulk by exporting product data, modifying it, and reuploading it using the bulk import tool.

Step 1: Export product data​

  3. Use the filters to:

    • Select the product type

Step 2: Prepare the file for deletion​

  1. Open the exported file.

  2. Delete all rows except those for the products you want to delete (including all their sizes).

  3. For products with multiple size rows:

    • Keep only one primary row per product.
    • Delete the rows containing repeated item_code entries for sizes.

  4. You should now have one row per product to be deleted.

  5. Delete all columns except:

    • item_code
    • brand

  6. Add a new column named command.

  7. In each row, enter Delete in the command column.

  1. Go back to the Commerce Panel.

  2. Go to Products > Import.

  3. Select:

    • Product
    • The same product type, department, and template

Step 4: Monitor deletion status​

  1. Go to Upload history to track the status:

    • Pending, Completed, or Failed

  2. Select the uploaded file name to see the results.

Alternative method: Delete products using item code​

If you remember the item_code and brand of products you want to delete, you can use a simplified approach.

Step 1: Create a new Excel file​

  1. Create a new file with the following columns:

    • item_code
    • brand
    • command

  2. In each row:

    • Enter the item code and brand of the product.
    • Enter Delete in the command column.

Step 2: Upload the file​

  1. Go to Products > Import in the Commerce Panel.

  2. Choose:

    • Product
    • Select the applicable product type, department, and template

  3. Upload the deletion file.

  4. Proceed through the preview and confirm the upload.

note

The deletion process via import is the same as described in the steps above.
