Product discovery is one of the most important aspects of ecommerce. If customers can’t find your products, they can’t buy them!
That’s why it’s so important to make sure your products are easy to find on your Shopify store. But what if you have a product that you don’t want everyone to see? Is it possible to hide a product on Shopify?
The short answer is yes, it is possible to hide a product on Shopify. There are a few different ways you can do this, depending on your needs. Let’s take a look at a few of the most popular methods.
Hiding Products from Search
One way to hide products on your Shopify store is to prevent them from being found in search results. This can be useful if you have products that are only meant for specific customers or if you’re still working on perfecting a product and don’t want anyone to see it until it’s ready.
To hide products from search results, go to Online Store > Preferences in your Shopify admin. From there, scroll down to the “Search” section and check the box next to “Do not include out-of-stock items in search results”. This will hide any products that are out of stock from being shown in search results.
Hiding Products from Your Online Store
Another way to hide products on your Shopify store is to prevent them from being displayed on your online store at all. This is useful if you have products that are only meant for specific customers or if you’re still working on perfecting a product and don’t want anyone to see it until it’s ready.
To hide products from your online store, go to Products > All Products. From there, find the product or products you want to hide and click “Edit”.
In the “Visibility” section, select the “Hide” option and click “Save”. The product will now be hidden from your online store.
Hiding Products from Your Navigation Menu
If you have products that you want customers to be able to find but don’t want them cluttering up your navigation menu, you can hide them from the menu while still making them available on your online store.
To hide products from your navigation menu, go to Online Store > Navigation. From there, find the menu where you want to hide the product and click “Add or remove menu items”.
Find the product you want to hide and click the trashcan icon next to it. The product will now be hidden from that particular menu.
