You can view the list of archived products in the Product list → Archive section.
Your customers can’t find archived products via search on Ozon. Such products have the “Out of stock” status. For the next 30 days they are still visible:
- in the list of favorites,
- via direct link,
- on the PDP of other product variants.
Archiving products automatically #
We weekly check products on the website and archive those that don’t meet the performance criteria. Such PDPs:
- make it difficult for customers to find the right product;
- slow down Ozon operations, and the costs of processing these PDPs don’t pay off.
Such products are displayed in the Product list → Archive section in the “Auto-archive” status. You can restore a maximum of 10 such PDPs per day. We reset the limit at 03:00 AM Moscow time.
We double-check the PDP once it’s restored. If the performance criteria aren’t met, we move the PDP back to the archive.
Some books subcategories can be restored without any restrictions.

We take into account the products sold under the FBS and realFBS schemes that were available to customers for more than 30 days out of 60. • No orders were received by customers. • Stencils weren’t activated during the check, and there were no withdrawals for stencils or promotion in search results. |
Archive product #
Customers can’t purchase your product on Ozon when it runs out of stock. In this case, product quantity available in warehouse will be displayed as 0 in the profile and in the product list.
The product will disappear from Ozon search unless you replenish the stocks within 30 days.
If you can’t replenish the stocks or no longer want to sell the product, you can move it to archive. It’ll disappear from general list of your products in the profile and will appear in the Products and prices → Manage Inventory → Archive section. You can restore it from there.
To move a product to archive:
- Go to the Products and prices → Product list → All section and select one or several products.
- Make sure that a product line has “0” values in the At Ozon warehouse and At my warehouses columns.
- Click Other actions → Move to archive.
Selected products will be moved to the Archive tab.
You can view archived products in the Products by categories XLS report. To download the report, go to the Products and prices → Product list → Archive section.
Restore products from archive #
We can restore a maximum of 10 PDPs with the “Auto-archive” status per day. We reset the limit at 03:00 AM Moscow time.
If you decide to sell a product on Ozon again, you can restore it from the archive:
- Go to the Products and prices → Product list → Archive section and select one or more products.
- Click Other actions → Restore products. The selected products will be moved to general list.
When you specify their number in your warehouse, they will reappear on Ozon. If the product wasn’t moderated before it was moved to the archive, it needs to pass moderation before it can be sold on Ozon.
If the product doesn’t meet the performance criteria during the next check, we’ll archive it again.
Delete a product #
It’s impossible to completely delete a product after moderation: we will keep it in case you decide to sell it on Ozon.
If a product wasn’t moderated, you can delete it:
- Go to the Products and prices → Product list → Archive section and select one or several products.
- Click Other actions → Delete products.
Selected products will be deleted without chance to restore.
Reserved products #
Reserved products are those products that customers have ordered. A product is considered reserved if the customer has paid for the order on Ozon.
When a product is reserved, it disappears from available products and is moved to the reserve. It can no longer be purchased on Ozon. As long as the product is in reserve, it can’t be moved to the archive.
Once you click the Package order button in your profile after you package it, the product disappears from the reserve and is no longer included in the stock. If the customer cancels the order before you click Package order, the number of products in stock will increase automatically.
