WooCommerce gives store owners a global setting to hide out-of-stock products, but sometimes that all-or-nothing approach is too limiting.

Hide or Show Out-of-Stock Products for WooCommerce gives you more control by letting you keep specific sold-out products visible while others remain hidden.

This is useful when you want to:

keep important out-of-stock products visible for SEO
show popular or seasonal products even when temporarily unavailable
keep product pages accessible for reference or future restocks
avoid hiding every sold-out item across your whole store

Instead of relying only on WooCommerce’s default out-of-stock visibility behavior, this plugin helps you manage product visibility more intentionally.

How it works

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.

This gives you more flexibility when managing sold-out products in your shop.

Use cases

A product is temporarily out of stock, but you still want customers to find it
A product has SEO value and should remain visible even when unavailable
Some sold-out items should stay visible, but low-priority items should stay hidden
You want more control than WooCommerce’s default stock visibility option

Who this plugin is for

This plugin is helpful for WooCommerce store owners who want more control over how out-of-stock products appear in their catalog.

It may be especially useful for stores that sell:

seasonal items
popular products that are frequently restocked
products with search traffic or strong SEO value
products that customers may still want to browse even when unavailable
