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

Go to Online Store > Themes > Customize

Click Theme settings (gear icon)

Navigate to Product options

Find the Unavailable indication setting

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

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
