Feature Request: Automatically hide Out of Stock items on my Square Online website

[jshiree]

The title of this post has been edited from the original: Is it possible to automatically "hide" out of stock items on the weebly website/online store?

I really don't like items of sold-out items appearing in the store and it can be time consuming to have to remember what's sold out, then go and manually hide it. Is there a way or an option that can allow any "Out of Stock" items to be automatically hidden?

At this time, the ability to have your items be hidden automatically when they are out of stock is a Feature Request. I understand how this would be useful, especially if you have a large Item Library, @jshiree - we'll definitely update this thread if this feature is built out.

In the meantime, the easiest way to manage is to make these edits through the Item Library page. To help save time here, if you have a large Item Library, it may be helpful to export your Item Library. You can do this from either your Square Item Library, or the Item Library found in the website editor for your Square Online Store.

When you export, there will be a column titled Current Quantity. Any items with a '0' in that column are out of stock. Once you identify the out of stock items, you can go back to your Item Library and search for those items by name instead of mentally keeping up with your sold out items. I hope this helps!

If this is yet to be resolved, please also add me to the feature request list.

Yeah, how can we make this a thing, is it really that hard to add as a feature?

Since the progress on implementing a simple feature like this is lacking, I decided to come up with a solution that works.

What you do is visit your store, and on the item options filter, tick off the "In Stock" checkbox.

Once the page reloads, the address in your address bar now contains the filter information.  Copy that link, and anywhere that you link to your store, put that link instead of what you have right now.  This makes it so that when the user clicks on the link to visit your shop, they are directed to the store with the "In Stock" filter applied.

You can see what I mean at www.hotwheelsmarket.ca 

I hope this helps anyone that hasn't thought of this already, as it even took me a while to think of doing this.

This would be a very helpful feature! Even if it only hid the items that are out of stock on the applications or gave an option to filter the items with a simple toggle switch/filter. 

We are running this system in 3 locations and allowing me to simplify what is seen by each user in the system would be very beneficial. I also need it to be more streamlined/automated because we have so many items that come in and out, simply hiding them one by one is not a good use of time.

This feature needs added! OOS items should not show in the retail store; even the current "sold out" sticker is quite unappealing. Please update!

Please add me to this feature request. As a small boutique that sells mostly OOAK (One of a kind) items, it is frustrating and time consuming to deal with out of stock items showing up online or especially being able to be rang up for sale in the POS system.

Hiding out of stock inventory from the register would be wonderful.

Hello everyone, I'm excited to confirm that Square Online recently added the ability for you to choose to automatically hide items when they go out of stock. 🎉 Thank you for your patience and please let us know if any questions come up!

Thank you @Tom and Square!!!!!

For others who need to implement this:  Square > Online > Items > Item Preferences > Item Statuses > Edit

After turning this setting on (to hide sold out items online), I'm still seeing some sold out items displayed.  While it hide many of them, it didn't hid all of them.  I checked the items and they do show all quantities set to zero (0) so they should be hidden.  Here's an example of one.

I see that this feature has now been added - thank you!!
