Hi

 

How do I tell the Import/Export module that one of a products variants no longer is available ?

Leaving the variant out is apparently not enough.

Can anybody help me here ?

And what about deleting/disabling the actual product. I would like to remove products from the shop when they're sold out.

Check out the "Do not show products" sections here: http://manual.net.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=4096. Make your variant match one of these criteria.

Thank you,

Marking a product as inactive obviously removes the product from the list, so visually this would work in the case where the entire product is required to be removed.

However, when the one of this products variant is sold out, I don't seem to have any way to remove it.

Example:

This is the variant part of a product extracted from the DB. Notice the variants.

    <ProductVariantGroups>
      <GroupID>VARGRP1</GroupID>
    </ProductVariantGroups>
    <VariantCombinations>
      <VariantCombination>VO10</VariantCombination> <- SIZE XL
      <VariantCombination>VO13</VariantCombination> <- SIZE L
      <VariantCombination>VO19</VariantCombination> <- SIZE M
    </VariantCombinations>
 

Let's say that all XL-sizes is sold out and I want do remove/disable this particular variant. I hoped that simply leaving this line out in the next import would do the trick, but I'm not that lucky :(

But how do I do it then ?

The integration doesn't delete products, if that's what you're asking. You'll have to manually remove them from the ecom GUI. You could also make an activity that does the it for you.
