Just wondering what happens with a discontinued item when you delete it, verses letting it remain ?

I mean from what a customer sees when they click on it, say from search engine standpoint .

Or from the 3rd party links as well ?

@Peter222 if you delete it, I believe it will go to an oops "this item is no longer available' and a message to say that it's been deleted by the author (or removed- can't remember the exact wording) and then show links to other designers products probably.

If it's still in your store - it will have a Heads up message 'out of stock' but will still link back to your store as a creator.

So I would just leave them and not delete (but that's just me)
