Defining active and inactive products, how ShipStation interprets these statuses and how to set a product to inactive.
When products are active, ShipStation applies the default weights, dimensions, and other settings to incoming orders when they match order items.
An inactive product is a product record in ShipStation that still exists in the ShipStation database but does not appear in the Products grid and does not apply any of its defaults to incoming orders. This is useful for products you may have discontinued or products you have created new records for due to a new SKU or other change.
