# Delete a product

```http
DELETE https://secure.yoprint.com/v1/api/store/{team_slug}/product/{hash_id}
```

- API version: v1
- Operation ID: `v1_public_products_destroy`
- Section: Products and catalog › [Products](https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/products.md)
- Web page: https://developer.yoprint.com/reference/products/v1-products-destroy/
- Authentication: `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`

Deletes a product that is not in use. Refused with 422 product_in_use, carrying the same report as `delete_check` under `product`, when the product is in use; phase it out instead (a variant product phases out its sizes and colors). Deleting a variant product deletes its live sizes and colors with it, and deleting a product hides its stock rows.

In use means: ever on a published sales order or quote (removed lines and deleted orders count), stock still incoming on a purchase order, a pending stock operation, or stock a customer owns. A deleted product can be restored.

## Permission

Needs the Manage Products permission at the level that can update products.

## Business rules

- Check first with Check whether a product can be deleted; the delete checks again.

## Side effects

- Hides the product's stock rows (a restore brings them back).
- For a variant product, deletes its live variants with it.

## Path parameters

- `team_slug` (string, required): Your team slug, shown as Team ID next to your API key in Profile. Example `your-team`.
- `hash_id` (string, required): The product's id (`id` from List products). A hash id from an earlier answer; unique keys and document numbers (such as `PO0042`) don't work here. Example `EDhVUaC6jbLbed`.

## Request body

This operation takes no request body.

### Example request

```bash
curl -X DELETE 'https://secure.yoprint.com/v1/api/store/your-team/product/EDhVUaC6jbLbed' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'X-Yoprint-Decimal-Format: exact-v1'
```

## Response

`200` Successful response.

Fields:

- `data` (null, required)
- `status` (integer, required)
- `success` (boolean, required)

Example response:

```json
{
  "data": null,
  "status": 200,
  "success": true
}
```

## Errors

- `401` The API key is missing or wrong (`unauthenticated`).
- `403` You are not allowed to do this. `api_access_not_in_plan`: your team's plan doesn't include API access (Pro and above, with an active subscription or trial), so every request answers this until the team upgrades. When your role lacks the permission the operation needs, the body is only `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`. Other refusals use the error envelope, with `unauthorized` or `user_is_not_authorized`.
  - When: Your role cannot update products. This 403 has a short body, `{"message": "Insufficient Permission"}`, with no `success` or `error`. Fix: Ask a team owner to set Manage Products to "Users CAN view, update and create products".
- `404` Not found. `page_not_found`: the team slug is unknown, you are not a member of the team, or an id in the path is not one of this team's. `code: null`, with a message that starts "No query results for": there is no record with that id.
  - When: No live product with this id: already deleted, or not the team's. `error.code` is null and `error.message` names the record type. Fix: Check the id.
- `422` The request was refused and changed nothing. `validation_failed` lists what to fix in `error.fields`; other codes name a business rule, explained in `error.message`. A few checks answer with only `{"message": "..."}`. An operation that calls another service (a payment provider, a carrier, an accounting app) can answer `connect_timeout` ("Please retry again") when that service does not answer in time: the change may or may not have happened there, so read the record back before you retry.
  - When: The product is in use (`error.code` `product_in_use`); `error.product` holds the delete check report. Fix: Phase it out instead.
