Use statuses to manage and organize products as you’re getting ready to sell them, or retiring the ones you no longer sell.
Use a draft product status to work on products at your own pace until you’re ready to make them available. Set the status of products that are ready to be sold as active, so they can be made available to buyers through selected sales channels and apps. Archive products that you no longer sell to keep your product lists organized and free from clutter without losing the information for archived products.
