Theme: Debut

Ultimate goal: Mark Product as "Coming Soon". I dont want to use "Sold Out" field.

What I did: I want to repurpose the "Unavailable" field. Changed admin/themes/127140724921/language?category=products

Question: How do I want to mark my product unavailable?

Hey, @Kays 

In your case, you can change that 'Sold Out' label in your language screenshot to 'Coming Soon'. From there, whenever you create a product on Shopify that is 'Coming Soon' you will want to ensure you have inventory tracking on for that product. We have a guide on that here. That way our system can determine if it's available or 'sold out' (Now in your case it will say Coming Soon). Then you can simply set the inventory to 0 to trigger it being sold out and have the Coming Soon label appear instead.

Dirk,

Thank you. But I want to use both labels when appropriate

For example: 

Product 1: Sold Out

Product 2: Coming Soon

In the solution you provided, I can only have one or other option for all the products. In my case, "Coming soon" would mean, I am working on a new product that I will be launching soon.

Looking for help on this too.

I want to list products "coming soon" that are coming soon or items that are new, but want people to also know when products are "Sold Out" as Sold Out products may not come back into stock or may take longer to come back into stock.

I'm uploading my products as a csv, is there a way that I can change all my products to show "contact us for availability" 

 

so they can't order straight away ? Which column on the CSV would I type this in ?
