9. If for some reason you still do not want to hide out of stock Shopify products, try this:

How to hide out of stock products on Shopify
- Do NOT delete sold out product pages from your website
- Consider a back in stock notification app like Back In Stock to send email or SMS notifications.
- Enable Inventory Tracking from your Shopify Admin Dashboard
- In the Admin section, go to Products > All products.
- Select one of your products and in the Inventory section, choose "Shopify tracks this product's quantity" from the Inventory policy list
- Click "Save"
- In each collection, set the automated collection conditions to:
- Products must match - select "all conditions"
- For Inventory stock - select "is greater than" and enter "0"
In doing this, you will ensure that your automated collections do not display any products that are out of stock to your customers. Any out of stock products will appear in your collections again once you adjust the inventory.
Let’s recap.
Stop missing out on sales opportunities by hiding out of stock Shopify inventory.
Instead of simply choosing whether to display or hide your out of stock products on Shopify, Back In Stock alerts lets you replace the “Buy” button with a customizable message of “Notify me when the product is available.”
Make better inventory decisions by analyzing product waitlists.
Another reason you’re missing out if you’re hiding out of stock products is that you’re not collecting any data on what people wanted to buy. Digging into Back In Stock analytics opens up a whole new data category for your analytics that can help you can lower inventory risks and overhead.
Turn customer disappointment into delight.
Customers aren’t interested in monitoring your site to see if the item they wanted to buy is restocked. If they can’t buy something from you, they move on fast. But they’ll also probably remember that experience, damaging customer loyalty in the process.
A note of advice: Be clear about the expected return date. Your customers will appreciate the honesty and sincerity in your marketing communications.
