productDelete - admin-graphql - MUTATION

Version: 2025-01

Description:

Deletes a product, including all associated variants and media. As of API version `2023-01`, if you need to delete a large product, such as one that has many [variants](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/ProductVariantInput) that are active at several [locations](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/input-objects/InventoryLevelInput), you may encounter timeout errors. To avoid these timeout errors, you can instead use the asynchronous [ProductDeleteAsync](https://shopify.dev/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productDeleteAsync) mutation.

Access Scopes

`write_products` access scope. Also: The user must have a permission to delete products.

Arguments

• input: ProductDeleteInput! - Specifies the product to delete by its ID.
• synchronous: Boolean - Specifies whether or not to run the mutation synchronously.

Returns

• deletedProductId: ID The ID of the deleted product.
• productDeleteOperation: ProductDeleteOperation The product delete operation, returned when run in asynchronous mode.
• shop: Shop! The shop associated with the product.
• userErrors: UserError! The list of errors that occurred from executing the mutation.

Examples

• Delete a non-existent product
