Hide sold out variants on Shopify, automatically

HV Hide Out of Stock Variants is a Shopify app that automatically hides sold out, out of stock and unavailable variants on your product pages. When a size or colour sells out, it's removed from the variant picker. When you restock, it comes back on its own. Your product pages always show only what shoppers can actually buy.

The problem with sold out variants

Most Shopify themes keep sold out options in the variant picker, crossed out, greyed out or labelled "Unavailable". On a product with many sizes and colours, that can mean a picker full of options nobody can order. Shoppers click them, can't add them to cart, and have to start again, which is especially frustrating on a small phone screen.

Shopify lets you unpublish a variant by hand, but it won't hide a variant when it goes out of stock or bring it back when you restock. With stock changing every day, keeping up manually means constant checking, and it's easy to miss a variant that came back in stock and stayed hidden.

How HV Hide Out of Stock Variants helps

Set up a rule once, and the app keeps your product pages accurate as your inventory changes, day and night. You stay in control of how it looks:

  • Hide sold out variants completely for items that won't return.

  • Show them greyed out for popular sizes that will be back soon.

  • Keep your best-sellers visible no matter what other rules do.

It handles products with more than one option correctly. A Medium can be hidden in Black while it stays available in Blue, so shoppers never lose access to a size that's still in stock in another colour.

Who it's for

  • Clothing, shoe and accessory stores with many size and colour combinations.

  • Brands running limited drops or selling one-of-a-kind items that sell out fast.

  • Stores that restock often and need variants to reappear without manual work.

  • Merchants importing products in bulk who want unfinished or zero-priced variants kept off the storefront.

  • Stores selling in several countries with different stock in each market.

No code, no theme edits

Everything is set up inside the app from your Shopify admin. There's no theme code to edit and nothing to redo when your theme updates. Try it free for 7 days and see your product pages show only what's in stock.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I hide sold out variants on Shopify automatically?

Does it work on products with multiple options?

Yes. It works on products with multiple options, such as size, colour and material

Can I hide variants before they fully sell out?

Yes. Use "Hide when inventory is below a threshold" and set the stock level at which variants should disappear.

Can I show different variants in different countries?

Yes. Each rule can apply to all countries, only the countries you choose, or every country except the ones you exclude.

Do I need to edit my theme code?
