Delete the sample products

A new store may come with a few sample products so you can see how your theme looks. Delete them before you open the store, so customers only see your real products.

Delete sample products from the setup guide

This is the fastest way if you haven’t added any real products yet.

1. Go to Overview.
2. In Store setup, open the Add your first product step.
3. In the note about sample products, click Delete now.
4. Click Delete sample products to confirm.

Delete sample products when you open the store

The Open store button only works once the three required steps are done. If the guide is hidden, click Show guide first.

1. At the bottom of Store setup, click Open store.
2. In the Open your store to customers? box, on the Sample products row, leave the delete checkbox selected. It’s selected by default, and this row only appears when the store still has sample products.
3. Click Open store.

Delete products from the product list

Use this for sample products you have edited, or once your store is open.

1. Go to Products.
2. Select the checkbox at the start of each product you want to delete. The checkbox in the header row selects every product on the page.
3. Click the three-dot icon More actions on the bar that appears.
4. Select Delete.
5. Click Delete products to confirm.
