Hide out of stock options

Paper includes built-in settings to control how unavailable product options are displayed to customers. You can choose to hide them completely or show them as disabled.


Using theme settings

1

Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize

2

Click Theme settings (gear icon)

3

Navigate to Product options

4

Find the Unavailable indication setting

5

Choose your preferred option:

  • Show as disabled - Displays unavailable options with a strikethrough (default)

  • When option is not available - Hides unavailable options completely

  • Do not indicate - Shows all options as available

6

Click Save


Recommendation

Show as disabled is recommended because it:

  • Shows customers all available variations

  • Clearly indicates what's temporarily unavailable

  • Helps customers understand the full product range

  • May encourage customers to check back later

Hide unavailable options if:

  • You want to keep the interface clean

  • Unavailable options are permanently discontinued

  • You have many options and want to reduce clutter
