import { products } from '@wix/stores';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { products },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function deleteCollection(_id) {
  const response = await myWixClient.products.deleteCollection(_id);
};
```
