How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats move to next sku.

The problem it solves

Clearing out discontinued items or test products from your store means hunting down each one and deleting it by hand. It is slow, easy to mess up, and painful to repeat every time you clean up your catalog.

Who it fits

An online store manager who needs to remove products from WooCommerce in bulk.

How it works

  1. You provide a list of product SKUs to remove
  2. The system looks up each SKU to find the matching product
  3. Each matching product is deleted from your store
  4. The process repeats automatically until the full list is done
What you get

A catalog that's clean after every cleanup

You clear out discontinued products from your store in one pass, keeping your catalog current whenever you need to update it.

What you get

A WooCommerce catalog with every listed SKU removed, without manual deletion.

What you need

A WooCommerce store with API access enabled.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
