How do I re-activate a deleted product?

If the product that you have deleted has never been sold, it has been completely removed from the system and you cannot re-activate it.

If the product that you have deleted was sold in the past, the product is marked as inactive. You can then re-activate it by going to > Products > Products and selecting the radio button “show inactive products” at the top. Click on the product to open it, open the Product Info tab and select the radio button “yes” behind the field “active”. Then click Save. The product will now be moved back to the active list.
