<p>This plugin will let you hide out of stock products in WooCommerce but only for certain categories. WooCommerce currently lets you either hide all out of stock products or none. This expands on that and lets you choose a category to hide when out of stock.</p>
<p>You might want to use this to keep newer products on your website eventhough they’re out of stock. Hiding the older, out of stock WooCommerce products would remove some clutter.</p>


Hide Out Of Stock By Category

An easy and simple way to hide products in WooCommerce by category when they're out of stock

Charlie Macaraeg

<p>WooCommerce gives store owners a global setting to hide out-of-stock products, but sometimes that all-or-nothing approach is too limiting.</p>
<p><strong>Hide or Show Out-of-Stock Products for WooCommerce</strong> gives you more control by letting you keep specific sold-out products visible while others remain hidden.</p>
<p>This is useful when you want to:</p>
<ul>
<li>keep important out-of-stock products visible for SEO</li>
<li>show popular or seasonal products even when temporarily unavailable</li>
<li>keep product pages accessible for reference or future restocks</li>
<li>avoid hiding every sold-out item across your whole store</li>
</ul>
<p>Instead of relying only on WooCommerce’s default out-of-stock visibility behavior, this plugin helps you manage product visibility more intentionally.</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>The plugin disables WooCommerce’s global “Hide out of stock items from the catalog” behavior and lets you decide which out-of-stock products should remain visible.</p>
<p>This gives you more flexibility when managing sold-out products in your shop.</p>
<h3>Use cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>A product is temporarily out of stock, but you still want customers to find it</li>
<li>A product has SEO value and should remain visible even when unavailable</li>
<li>Some sold-out items should stay visible, but low-priority items should stay hidden</li>
<li>You want more control than WooCommerce’s default stock visibility option</li>
</ul>
<h3>Who this plugin is for</h3>
<p>This plugin is helpful for WooCommerce store owners who want more control over how out-of-stock products appear in their catalog.</p>
<p>It may be especially useful for stores that sell:</p>
<ul>
<li>seasonal items</li>
<li>popular products that are frequently restocked</li>
<li>products with search traffic or strong SEO value</li>
<li>products that customers may still want to browse even when unavailable</li>
</ul>
