How to safely manage your membership catalog: archive items, delete invalid variants, and adjust the display order without disrupting your offering.
When to archive instead of deleting
You no longer want to actively offer a product, but you need to keep the history.
You're temporarily hiding an old variant while transitioning to a new pricing structure.
You don't want to affect internal statistics tied to past sales.
When to delete
The item is a test or erroneous record with no operational significance.
The item was never used and has no real history attached to it.
Changing the membership order
Arrange groups and variants by business priority.
Save the order and verify how it looks in the admin panel and on the public page.
Important: Archiving is safer than deleting whenever you might need the history or want the option to bring the item back quickly.
Common mistakes
Deleting a variant that's still actively in use without checking the consequences.
Accidentally changing the order, which breaks the layout of your offering.
A mismatch between what you see in the admin and what clients see on your public page.
