Trick
Delete a product list
Deleting a product list from a file
This is the typical case where your supplier provides you with a CSV or Excel file containing a list of products that have become obsolete. How do you remove them from your PrestaShop catalog?
- Use the import function in Merlin Backoffice to move products into a temporary category in the store (which contains no others).
- Once the import is complete, display the products in this category, select them and use the “Bulk action” / “Delete” button to remove all these products.
Note that this also deletes their photos.
Delete products from a list of identifiers
This is the case when you know the identifiers (also works with a list of references, barcodes or even names)
Let's take the example of the list 12,34,102,31.
- Click on the “Other prefilters” button at the top of the product table.
- Activate one of the two prefilters and set it to “Identifiers”, “In”, and fill the prefilter value with “(12,34,102,31)” (parentheses are optional).
- Click on the all button to recursively select all categories.
- As in the first case, display the products, select them and use the “Grouped action” / “Delete” button to remove them.
