Use the product blocklist to change the status at any time, without adding or removing products from your catalog. **Use cases include:** - Sample products - Out-of-stock or discontinued product - Pre-orders - Seasonal products - New product IDs In this article, you’ll learn how to blocklist products in your Yotpo catalog. ## What Happens When You Add a Product to the Blocklist? - [Automatic review request emails](/v1/docs/creating-a-review-request-premium-enterprise) will not be sent for products on the blocklist from that point on. Scheduled review request for products on your blocklist: Scheduled automatic review request emails for blocklisted products that have been purchased before the item was added to the blocklist will not be sent out. - Products on the blocklist won’t be relevant for Promoted Products ([widget](/v1/docs/promoted-products-in-the-reviews-widget) & [email](/v1/docs/adding-promoted-products-to-your-review-requests)), and [Social Push](/v1/docs/social-push) - Reviews of products on the blocklist will not show in the [Reviews Carousel](/v1/docs/configuring-and-installing-the-reviews-carousel), [Reviews Tab](/v1/docs/reviews-tab), [Dedicated Reviews Page](/v1/docs/seo-page), [UGC Gallery](/v1/docs/custom-gallery), and [Shoppable Instagram](/v1/docs/shoppable-instagram). - Reviews of products on the blocklist will not count towards the total number of reviews in the on-site reviews badge. Tip [Targeted Product Review Requests](/v1/docs/creating-a-manual-product-review-request) can be sent out even if a product is on your blocklist. You can use this feature if you want to collect reviews for a product that is temporarily out of stock. ## Adding a Product to Your Blocklist ### Shopify Users To learn more about how to easily add products to your blocklist, see [Shopify: Automatic Product Catalog Sync](/v1/docs/keeping-your-shopify-and-yotpo-product-catalogs-updated#product-blocklist). ### Adobe Commerce Users You can add products to your blocklist through your Adobe Commerce admin. If you are managing your blocklist in Adobe Commerce, do not upload manually as this could cause a conflict. ### Woocommerce, Bigcommerce & Generic Platform Users > **WooCommerce users:** from plugin version 1.11.0, you can blocklist a product by adding the product tag `YBlocklist` to it. Learn more in [WooCommerce: Installing Yotpo Reviews](https://support.yotpo.com/docs/woocommerce-installing-yotpo), under **Managing the blocklist, groups and custom questions with product tags**. While **Sync products to Yotpo** is on, products you unpublish, trash or delete in WooCommerce are added to your blocklist automatically. To blocklist a product in your Yotpo product catalog, follow the steps below: 1. **Export your current product catalog** - Log in to your Yotpo account. - Click on the **profile icon** in the top-right corner and select **Account Settings**. - In the left-hand menu, click **Product Catalog**. - Navigate to the **Update Products** tab. - Check the box labeled **Include products on blocklist**. - Enter the email address where you'd like the exported catalog to be sent. - Click **Send Catalog**. > [!WARNING] > Note > > It may take up to one hour for the catalog to arrive in your inbox. 2. **Locate the product you want to blocklist** Open the file you received and search for the product you want to blocklist. 3. **Set the blocklist status** 1. In the **Blacklisted** column, set the value to `TRUE` to blocklist the respective product. 2. If you do **not** want to blocklist it, make sure the value is set to `FALSE`. > [!WARNING] > Notes > > - To add **new products that are not yet in your product catalog** to the blocklist, see [Importing Product Catalogs](/v1/docs/importing-product-catalogs). > - To update the status of **products that already exist in your product catalog** and add them to the block list, see [Updating The Product Catalog](/v1/docs/updating-the-product-catalog). ## Adding Grouped Products to Your Blocklist Reviews for products on your blocklist will show in [grouped products](/v1/docs/grouping-products), but only those reviews that were collected prior to adding the product to the blocklist. **The link for the product on the blocklist, however, will not be clickable**. **New reviews for products on your blocklist will not appear for any of the grouped products**. New reviews for other products in the group will likewise not appear on the product on your blocklist. ## Related - [Importing Product Catalogs](/importing-product-catalogs.md) - [Keeping Your Shopify and Yotpo Product Catalogs Updated](/keeping-your-shopify-and-yotpo-product-catalogs-updated.md) - [Updating the Product Catalog](/updating-the-product-catalog.md)
