Don't show 0 quantity products.

I have several hundred products in a store. The products are refurbished and sometimes I have none in inventory.

How can I set the products with zero quantity to not display?

Re: Don't show 0 quantity products.

Admin->configuration->stock:

Check stock level true
Subtract stock true
Allow Checkout false

Products status in Catalog when out of stock should be set to 0

Re: Don't show 0 quantity products.

Will this be an upgrade in future versions?

The ability for a product to turn its status to off when it reaches a predefined inventory level such as 0 or 10 or whatever.

It would save a lot of time when you have have lot of products.

:yes:

Re: Don't show 0 quantity products.

This is built in that when stock goes to <= 0 from a completed order the status can be turned to 0 to not show the product or left at 1 and then show the Sold Out vs the Add to Cart ...

You can also make your own image such as a Out of Stock ... Back Order etc. to better suit your needs ...

Re: Don't show 0 quantity products.

I understand that.

I want the product not to display at all if it is sold out. No sold out button, no not available button, or anything.

I sell refurbished cell phones. When the quantity reaches 0, I may never get that particular model phone again.

It does that as standard - just change your settings in admin->configuration->stock to the above and it will work :smile:

Re: Don't show 0 quantity products.

NOTE: this setting affects stock on the order confirmation ... it does not affect existing products with products_quantity = 0 ...

You would need to update those products manually or run a global update such as:

UPDATE products SET products_status = 0 WHERE products_quantity <= 0;

This can be run in the Tools ... Install SQL Patches ...

Be sure to Backup your database before running this ...

Re: Don't show 0 quantity products.

I had an exactly similar requirement (posted elsewhere)

Running the update statement:
*UPDATE products SET products_status = 0 WHERE products_quantity <= 0;*was necessary to force this value for products added with zero stock, rather than decremented to zero by sales. This finally, does hide the product from listing as I required - HOWEVER:

It doesn't stop it appearing in the "new for this month" list - as it was recently added. Can I suppress zero stock from this listing?
