Shopify will automatically track your inventory and not show your product in any collection pages.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the steps to set the condition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Check Track Quantity for Product&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to <strong>Products <\/strong>and select a product from the list. Then, scroll down to the <strong>Inventory <\/strong>section and check the <strong>Track quantity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"246\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Track-product-quantity-on-Shopify--700x246.png\" alt=\"Track product quantity on Shopify\" class=\"wp-image-21171\" style=\"width:814px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Track-product-quantity-on-Shopify--700x246.png 700w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Track-product-quantity-on-Shopify--250x88.png 250w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Track-product-quantity-on-Shopify--768x270.png 768w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Track-product-quantity-on-Shopify--403x141.png 403w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Track-product-quantity-on-Shopify--964x338.png 964w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Track-product-quantity-on-Shopify--120x42.png 120w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Track-product-quantity-on-Shopify-.png 1094w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows Shopify to track the product inventory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Set Collection Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, go to <strong>Collections &gt; Click on the Collection.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navigate to Collection type.

This set conditions will ensure only products with available inventory (stock &gt; 0) are included in the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this method hides the products from the collection, they will still be accessible on product pages. There is an option to remove the sold-out products from the sales channel, but it is not recommended to do so from an SEO point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Hide Sold Out Items on Shopify: Other Options\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way to hide out-of-stock products on Shopify is using the free Shopify Flow app or a paid third-party app from the Shopify App Store, which comes with automation and many advanced features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopify Flow App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the free Shopify app, you will need to set a condition flow to hide products from a specific collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose is the same as the steps we discovered above, but the method is different.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Apps<\/strong> > <strong>Shopify Flow<\/strong> ><strong>Create workflow<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select a<strong> trigger<\/strong> > Search and select <strong>Product variant inventory quantity changed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>+<\/strong> button > Select <strong>Condition<\/strong> > Click <strong>Add criteria<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Product total inventory<\/strong> from the search bar and set condition <strong>is less than<\/strong> and enter the value <strong>1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, under the <strong>IF<\/strong> block > <strong>+<\/strong> button > add an action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search for and select <strong>Hide product from a collection<\/strong> (select your collections)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This should be your flow at the end of the process; when everything looks okay, click on &#8220;Turn on workflow.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product--700x147.png\" alt=\"Shopify Flow app to hide product out of stock product\" class=\"wp-image-21167\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product--700x147.png 700w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product--250x53.png 250w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product--768x161.png 768w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product--1536x323.png 1536w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product--403x85.png 403w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product--964x203.png 964w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product--120x25.png 120w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Shopify-Flow-app-to-hide-product-out-of-stock-product-.png 1684w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Third-party Apps\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some best picks to help you out with stock hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
