Backend API: Delete a product

Deleting a product that has already been sold will break any links that exist within orders. We recommend only deleting products that have not yet been sold to a customer.

⚠️

When deleting a record that has child collections such as variants and stock, the contents of those collections are also deleted.

Arguments

idobjectIdrequired

The id of the product you wish to delete.

const { swell } = require('swell-node');
swell.init('store-id', 'secret-key');

await swell.delete('/products/{id}', {
  id: '5ca24abb9c077817e5fe2b36',
});
