Archiving Products
This article describes the product archival process within Stock&Buy.
As your business grows, you may discontinue a particular product or brand of products. While deleting products can be a viable option for you to hide the discontinued items, it might not be ideal. Deleting products will remove them from your sales history and historical inventory data. Another viable option would be to archive the products you do not carry anymore and hide them from your inventory listing.
Archive a product
Steps:
- From your Stock&Buy account, click on Inventory
- Click the product you would like to archive. This action will open the product details page
- Click Archive under dropdown options next to the Save option
The product will automatically change its state to Archived and will disappear from your inventory listing.
