How to Delete Multiple (Inactive) Products

In ProductCart there is no way to quickly delete multiple products from the Control Panel. A workaround is to make N products inactive (e.g. using the Global Changes feature), and then deleting them using the script mentioned below.

  • Import a spreadsheet that contains the SKU of those products and another column that will set the “Active” property to inactive. To do so, enter 0 in that column (you can name the column anything you'd like)
  • Alternatively, you can use the Global Changes feature to set certain products to be “inactive”.
  • Download this script (DeleteInactiveProducts.asp).
  • Upload it to your Control Panel folder via FTP
  • Log into the Control Panel and load the page “DeleteInactiveProducts.asp”
  • Follow the instructions on the screen. Note that the action cannot be undone.
