PRODUCTS: Mass Delete Products

Scot Ranney • October 17, 2025


You need to create an .xml file for this and use provisioning. Luckily it's super easy.

Notes:

1. Make sure the store code is the current store.

2. Create one product delete line for each product code.

Hint:

Open a list of product codes in a spreadsheet, add a new column on the left and one on the right, put the product delete string on the left column, the closing string on the right, copy data down each column, then when you export, export as csv and set the delim to nothing at all so that when it exports you have a file like below. Could also do this in many different ways using text editors and what not.

One you got your file, open data management and then at the bottom left you'll see an xml import option.

<Provision>
<Store code="applesofgold">
<Product_Delete code="AOGER-1-GAW"/>
<Product_Delete code="AOGRG-5-GAW"/>
<Product_Delete code="AOGRG-7-GA"/>
<Product_Delete code="AOGRG-CT14KY-6SALE"/>
<Product_Delete code="AOGRG-GA-1"/>
<Product_Delete code="AOGRG-GAM14KW"/>
</Store>
</Provision>
