How Do I Hide Unavailable Variants in Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 2:13 am

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.

One of the most common questions we get asked is how to hide unavailable variants in Shopify. This can be tricky, because you don’t want to hide all variants – just the ones that are currently unavailable.

The first thing you’ll need to do is create a new product template. To do this, go to your Admin panel and click on “Products.”

PRO TIP: If you are considering hiding unavailable variants in your Shopify store, be aware that this may negatively impact your sales. Hidden variants are not visible to customers, which means they are less likely to purchase them. Additionally, hiding variants can make it more difficult for customers to find the products they are looking for, which may lead to frustration and ultimately lost sales.

Next, click on “Add product” and then “Create new product template.” Give your template a name and then click “Save.”

Now that you have created a new product template, you can start adding your variants. To do this, click on the “Variants” tab and then “Add variant.”

Fill in the variant’s name, price, SKU, and weight. If you want to hide the variant from your shop, check the “Hide this variant” box. Once you’re finished, click “Save.”

You can repeat these steps for each variant that you want to hide. Once you’re finished, go to your shop’s homepage and refresh the page. The variants that you hid should now be hidden from view!
