Discontinued Items

The Promodata Plugin checks supplier data for discontinued items every night. When an item is flagged, the plugin automatically moves it to the bin on your website during the next sync.

Because these items are moved to the bin and eventually deleted from your database, their old web links will break. To keep search traffic from hitting dead ends—and to protect your Google rankings—it’s a great idea to have an automated safety net that catches these broken links and redirects users straight to your active Shop page. We recommend speaking with your web developer to ensure a proper redirection system is set up to handle these automated updates.

Just a heads-up: This automation only applies to Promodata products. Any products or services you’ve manually added to your website won’t be touched.
