Overview

When managing your product catalog in Shopify, it's important that you do NOT delete product types or products.

Deleting removes valuable historical data, which can cause inaccuracies in your Management One reporting.

Instead, archive products you no longer wish to display.
Archiving removes items from your online store but preserves product data—keeping your history intact for planning and reporting.
