WooCommerce Discontinued Products

Removing a product from a store can leave shoppers with a dead page and leave you with a gap in your catalog. This plugin offers another route. You mark a product or variation as discontinued, and the page stays in place while making clear the item is no longer available.

You can discontinue a product right away, or set it to switch over automatically when stock reaches zero. Discontinued items get their own status, separate from out-of-stock ones, so reports and admin filters stay clear. You can keep these pages visible to search engines or hide them from the storefront without deleting them.

Features

• Separate discontinued stock status: Discontinued products have their own status, apart from regular out-of-stock items, which keeps inventory management and reporting clear.
• Immediate or stock-based discontinuing: Mark a product or variation as discontinued straight away, or let it switch automatically once its stock reaches zero.
• Custom discontinued message: Display a personalized message on discontinued product pages to tell customers what has happened and guide them onward.
• Visibility control: Keep discontinued products visible to search engines, or hide them from the storefront without deleting their pages.
• Bulk discontinuation: Use bulk editing to mark multiple products or variations as discontinued in one pass instead of editing each item by hand.
• Single variation control: Discontinue specific variations of a product while the other variations stay active and available to buy.
• Product image labels: Add a clear Discontinued label to product images so shoppers can spot unavailable items on shop and product pages.
• Reports and admin filters: View and manage discontinued products on their own in WooCommerce reports and WordPress admin filters, apart from in-stock and out-of-stock items.

Best for
