Manage every listing’s status in Catalog → Listings—hide, pause, delist, or re-publish—so your sales channels stay accurate while historical data remains intact.
🔍 What Is Delisting?
Yes, delisting removes an item from your sales channel while keeping its listing record inside Flxpoint. This lets you re‑activate, audit, or report on the listing later—without rebuilding it from scratch. Alongside delisting, you can hide, pause, or re‑publish listings to manage seasonality, channel rules, or inventory shortages—all from Catalog → Listings.
Key benefits of this lifecycle approach:
- Prevent channel discrepancies by always delisting before deleting.
- Preserve historical data for reporting and fast re‑activation.
- Granular control per channel via the channel dropdown and Quick Filters.
