Sold out products

When a product is out of stock, customers can't add it to their carts, and a Sold Out label will display on Products Pages and product details pages. You can also enable product waitlists so shoppers can sign up to be notified when items are back in stock. If you sell one-of-a-kind products or services, or if "Sold Out" doesn't work for your business, you can change the text.

To manage inventory on mobile and get notifications when products are low or out of stock, download the Squarespace Commerce App for iOS and Android.

Tip: Enable limited availability labels to let shoppers know when products are low in stock.

How products become sold out

Products will be automatically marked as sold out after the last item in stock is purchased. You can also set a product as sold out by manually changing the stock level to 0.

Replenish your stock

When you have more items in stock, edit your stock level to reflect your current inventory. 

Mark a product as sold out

Can I hide sold out products?

Displaying sold out products is a great way to advertise what you sell, even if products aren't available. It also communicates that your products are in demand. However, if you want to hide a sold out product, you can hide it.

Sold out labels aren't displaying

If the label doesn't display and you have a version 7.0 Advanced Product Page, it may be hidden in Site Styles. To the show the labels, follow these steps:

1. In the Home Menu, click Design, then click Site Styles.
2. Find the Products: Status Badges tweak, and ensure Style isn't set to None. 

In version 7.1, sold out labels always display beneath the product image.
