Advanced Settings for Remove Feed

Configure rules to automatically remove discontinued or unwanted products from your store. Use safety filters, duplicate detection, and multi-location zero-quantity checks to ensure active inventory is protected while purging obsolete items.

How to Set Up Product Removal

Go to App → Feed Settings → Step 4: Advanced Settings

1. Locate Product Removal: In the feed settings, navigate to the product removal section.
2. Enable Removal Rules: Toggle on Remove products to activate product deletion.
3. Configure Safety Conditions: Set your duplicate handling rules, zero-quantity checks, and store filters to prevent removing active inventory.

Product Removal Smart Settings / Detailed Breakdown

1. Manage to Remove Products in the Store

Activates automated product deletion for items matched by your feed.

• Remove products: Enabling this option removes matched products from your store.
• Safety Filters: Always add filters to protect your active product catalog from unintentional deletion.

2. Manage Filter to Remove

Configure conditional rules that govern how and when products are deleted. These conditions apply across all products evaluated by the feed.

(a) Allow Remove of Duplicate Products with the Same Product Identifier

Controls whether Stock Sync removes duplicate products that share the identical product identifier (such as SKU or Barcode).

• Enabled: Automatically removes duplicate store products sharing the same identifier.
• Disabled: Prevents deletion when duplicate identifiers are detected to avoid accidental data loss.

(b) Remove Product(s) Only If the Quantity Is ZERO in All Locations

Provides a safety check ensuring items with remaining inventory are never deleted.

• Enabled: A product is removed only if its inventory quantity is 0 across all store locations. If even one location has stock greater than zero, the product is retained.
• Disabled: Deletes products matching removal criteria regardless of their current inventory levels.

Key Rules & Technical Details

• Multi-Location Verification: When Remove product(s) only if the quantity is ZERO in all locations is enabled, Stock Sync audits inventory across every active location linked to your store. The product is deleted only when total stock across all locations equals zero.
• Safety Precaution: Always test removal logic on a small filtered subset of products or perform a manual catalog backup before running bulk deletion feeds.

Troubleshooting Steps

• Issue: Products with zero stock were not removed → Solution: Check if any store location still holds stock (>0), as all locations must have zero inventory when the multi-location zero-quantity condition is enabled.
• Issue: Active products were unintentionally removed → Solution: Use the Undo option to restore deleted items, then apply Store Product Filters in Step 3 (by Vendor, Tag, or SKU) to narrow the removal scope.
• Issue: Duplicate products sharing an SKU are not deleting → Solution: Verify that Allow remove of duplicate products with the same product identifier is toggled on in Advanced Settings.
