It is not possible to entirely delete a Creative asset in your Merchant account, however, you do have the ability to change the status of a Creative to ‘Defunct’ (inactive) to make it so your Affiliates cannot view it in your Creative Inventory going forward.
To make a Coupon/Deal 'Defunct' you can follow these steps:
-
Go to CREATIVES > Deals and Coupons
-
Click 'Edit' to the right of the the Coupon/Deal you'd like to make 'Defunct'
-
Adjust the 'End Date' to a date in the past (effectively making the Coupon/Deal expired)
-
Click 'Update Coupon' to finalize and save
After following these steps you should no longer see this Coupon/Deal listed in your Creative Inventory (you may need to refresh the page). As such, Affiliates will not be able to view this Coupon/Deal going forward. Please note, this does not mean your Coupon/Deal has disappeared! You can view this inactive Coupon/Deal in your Merchant account at any time by clicking ‘Filter Creatives' on the left side of the page and selecting 'Defunct’ as the Status (for internal use only; Affiliates cannot view your inactive Creatives).
