How Do I Change Product Status in WooCommerce?

When you first create a product in WooCommerce, the product is given a “status.” The four possible product statuses are:

1. Draft – A product in the “Draft” status is not visible to customers on your site. This is useful if you’re still working on a product and not ready to release it yet.

2. Pending Review – A product in the “Pending Review” status is also not visible to customers, but can be set to be visible by administrators only. This is useful if you want to have someone else review the product before making it public.

3. Published – A product in the “Published” status is visible to everyone on your site. This is the status you will most likely want most of your products to be in.

4. Private – A product in the “Private” status is only visible to logged-in users who have the capability to view private products. This could be useful if you have products that are only available to certain members or customers.

You can change a product’s status at any time by editing the product and selecting a new status from the “Status” drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about changing the status of a product in WooCommerce, be very careful. This can have serious consequences for your store, and is not something that should be done lightly. Make sure you understand exactly what you are doing before changing any product statuses.
