Delete Products | BigCommerce Developer Center

To delete Product objects, you must include a filter. This prevents inadvertently deleting all Product objects in a store.

Note

The maximum number of products you can delete at one time is 250.

Example: To delete products with IDs 1,2 and 3, use DELETE /v3/catalog/products?id:in=1,2,3.

To delete *Product* objects, you must include a filter.
