Linking product Options and Hiding Sold Out Variants on Sectioned Themes

[JonnyMac]

Hi there,

I've seen in numerous threads on this discussion board about hiding variants that are sold out.

I'm finding this quite the issue, as I have products with multiple variants. However, every option is not always in-stock, so it would be good for those to be hidden, otherwise, how is a customer to know without trying multiple combinations of variants before finding what's available.

This, to me, is a huge unfriendly user experience and something I would've thought a company as big as Shopify would've addressed already.

I see that there's documentation for this issue:

https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/customization/products/variants/link-product-options-in-menus

https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/customization/products/variants/hide-variants-that-are-sold-out

However these don't work with sectioned themes. These were released in 2016, so almost 3 years without an obvious solution for the new themes.

Is there a definitive solution to this? 

Thanks

Jonny
