Activating & Deactivating Products
This article explains how to activate or deactivate items from the product catalog using both the Vori Dash Back Office and the VoriOS handheld.
Your product catalog is only useful if it reflects what's actually available in your store. Activating and deactivating products keeps your POS accurate — so cashiers aren't ringing up items that shouldn't be sold, and your catalog stays clean. You can manage status from New Back Office or directly from the handheld.
Table of Contents
In New Back Office
Activate or Deactivate a Single Product
- Go to Products > Product Catalog.
- Find the product you want to update and select Open to bring up the product detail page.
- On the Product Information tab, select the Status field.

- Choose Active or Inactive from the dropdown.
The page will confirm with a "The product was successfully updated" notification.
💡 Tip: To quickly find inactive products, select the filter icon near the search bar, type "status," and select Status from the dropdown. Set the value to Inactive to filter your catalog view.
Activate or Deactivate Products in Bulk
- Go to Products > Product Catalog.
- Select products using the checkboxes to the left of each row. To select everything visible, check the box in the column header.
- In the action bar at the bottom of the screen, select More.
- In the Change Status modal, find the Status field.

- Choose Active or Inactive.

- Select Save.
- In the confirmation dialog, select Continue.

⚠️ Caution: Bulk status changes can't be undone. Review your selection before confirming.
