Can products be paused?

If I want to unlist a holiday product can it be paused, or is this a feature for premium memberships only?

How do YOU handle this? Was thinking about creating categories for each holiday for which I have items. That way, I wouldn’t have to unlist. Don’t really want my holidays mixed.

Thanks,
Sandi

It’s called Reserve

If the listing is active..when you open it there are two links under the title..Reserve and Edit

Reserve hides the item from your booth
Also

Update Items as a Group (batch edit)
Under item Basics
Select items to be put on reserve
Click on Set Status
drop down menu
Select Reserve

To find your reserve items later
Use the Add New filter feature
Select Status [URL removed]
And choose Reserve from the drop down menu and this will bring up the reserved items for your to re-activate, edit, delete…ect

Hi ccmom. I’m going to give this a practice run so that if I ever need to use it, I’ll know how. Thanks!

I wouldn’t hide any of them. People buy items off season and you could be missing sales. I just sold some Christmas items.

I agree, A2z4u2c. If I add a separate category for each holiday, then that is just what I will do. Thanks!

You can also edit your item, and enter a zero quantity. This way all you have to do to reactivate your items is add the quantity back in when your ready.

Yours is the easiest suggestion, tammiestreasures. Thanks so much!

Another way to do it is to edit your listing, then just take out the price or the title. and save it. It will still be there and visible to you when you edit, but it wont be visible in your booth since it cannot be listed without a price. I find this a bit easier than the reserve.

Thank you very much for your [URL removed] I am going to try this so I don’t have to delete the listing.
