DeleteProduct#

To use this method, you must have a WhatsApp Business account.

The method is designed to delete one or more products from the catalog.

Irreversibility of deletion

Deleting a product cannot be undone. After deletion, the product is no longer displayed in the catalog, and its productId becomes invalid.

WhatsApp-side limitations

If catalog methods are called frequently, WhatsApp may temporarily restrict access to the Business Catalog API. Do not send a large number of requests to catalog methods over a short period of time.

Request#

To delete product(s), you need to send a request to the address:

POST

{{apiUrl}}/waInstance{{idInstance}}/deleteProduct/{{apiTokenInstance}}

To obtain the request parameters idInstance and apiTokenInstance, refer to the section Before you start.
