When a product is disabled in your webshop, the webshop won't accept any orders from the product.
Basically, EffectConnect simulates the process of a customer that is placing an order on your webshop. If the product is then disabled, the webshop will reject the order.
Tip: There may be workarounds to still sell the product without showing it on you webshop. This depends on the type of webshop system you use. Some webshops place the product as 'active' in a hidden category, which makes that the product is not visible on the frontend, but still orderable in the webshop.
This can vary per situation. To see if this is possible in your situation, please contact your IT specialist.
