How to delete products and listings from SKULabs

How to delete items, kits and listings in SKULabs, why deleted products reappear after a listings sync, and when to deactivate instead.

You can delete items, kits and listings in SKULabs, but deleting is permanent and a deleted product can come back on the next listings sync if it still exists on your sales channel. Read this article before deleting anything.

Why deleted products reappear after a listings sync

Listings sync imports every product it finds on your sales channel. If you delete a listing in SKULabs while the product is still on your channel, the next listings sync imports it again, and depending on your store's catalog setup it can build a new item for it. To remove a product for good, first delete or archive it on the sales channel (or exclude it in your store settings), then delete it in SKULabs.

If you only want SKULabs to stop pushing stock to a product, deactivate the listing instead of deleting it. This keeps its order and inventory history linked. See Item and listing statuses in SKULabs and Should I remove, delete, or unlink old variant products on my sales channel?

How to delete listings

  1. Go to Inventory and open the Listings tab.

  2. Check the box next to each listing you want to remove.

  3. Click Actions > Delete listings and confirm.

To delete a single listing, open it and click Delete Listing.

How to delete items

  1. Go to Inventory and open the Advanced tab.

  2. Check the box next to each item you want to remove.

  3. Click Actions > Delete items and confirm with Delete items (I understand the consequences).

To delete a single item, open the item and click Delete.

Deleting an item removes its stock from all warehouses, removes it from any kits that contain it, unlinks it from supplier catalogs, and unlinks its listings. Past inventory history and purchase orders keep the item's SKU. Because of these effects, consider Actions > Deactivate items instead if you might need the item again.

How to delete kits

  1. Go to Inventory and open the Kits tab.

  2. Check the box next to each kit you want to remove.

  3. Click Actions > Delete kits and confirm.

To delete a single kit, open it and click Delete Kit. The kit's component items are not deleted.
