The Delete Collection API allows users to delete a specific collection by providing its unique ID in the path parameter. This operation is irreversible and will remove the collection and its associated metadata from the system.
Use Cases:
- Remove outdated or irrelevant collections.
- Manage and clean up collections for better organization.
- Verifying shop details through its unique domain prefix (
shopdomain
).
Example: If the shop’s domain is https://store123.myshoplazza.com
, the shopdomain
would be store123
.
