If you created a product on Hotmart and no longer want to keep it on the platform, you can request its deletion. Before starting this process, it’s important to understand what happens to the product, your buyers’ access, and your affiliates after you submit the request.
In this article, you’ll learn about the impact of deleting a product, how to delete it, and what to do if you want to cancel the request before it’s completed.
What happens when a product is deleted?
Deleting a product does not necessarily end access for people who have already made a purchase. What happens depends on how the content is delivered:
- For downloadable products, such as eBooks and templates, buyers who have already downloaded the material will continue to have the file saved on their devices.
- For products available in a members area, such as online courses and digital events, deleting the product does not remove students’ access to the content. This applies to both one-time purchases and subscriptions. For subscriptions, access remains available as long as the payments are active. If you don’t want buyers to continue accessing the content available in the members area, remove the content before requesting the product deletion.
Deleting a product also affects the affiliates who promote it. When the request is submitted, affiliates are notified by email because removing the product affects their ability to generate new sales and commissions.
