Hiding A Product without actually removing the product from the collection

[jbh4934]

Hi we have a client who wants to sell their products in a bundle. The setup is organized via products within a specific collection. ..We downloaded a bundling app to bundle them. However, the client doesn't want the products to be sold individually on the collection page. The issue with this is if we hide the products, the bundling app has no products to bundle..ie no data to pull.....So is there a way to make specifics products within a collection invisible (maybe with some inline CSS trickery etc.)? The other thing to keep in mind is if we were to hide the products, we'd only want them to be hidden on a specific collection and not effect the rest of offerings. Hope this makes sense and any help is greatly appreciated. THX

Hi

Sounds like you may be using a theme based bundle app. You may want to consider a backend driven bundle app instead. You can define what components the bundle has and also have options for customer selections using the native Shopify product functionality. This lets you have the components not visible for individual purchase as they are used to manage the bundle in the background.

Our bundle app has 2 main features:

1. Bundle Inventory

Bundleup lets you connect up your bundled product to components and it then updates the inventory based on the component stock level. So when a component product stock level gets updated the bundle also updates based on what can be made up.

2. Order Fulfilment

When you sell one of the bundles the stock level won't reduce automatically. What Bundleup does is update the order post purchase by replacing the order line with the component SKUs as order lines which then reduces stock of the components and that feeds into point 1 above.

If you need help in setting up and testing please get in touch. You can also find our guide here:

Hi @jbh4934 

This is Jun from Bundle Kit. 

Just in case you're looking for an app, our app is able to meet your needs as it is primarily a bundle inventory management system so it will also be able to track the SKUs for variants of each product.

The bundle inventory is automatically set based on the available inventories of the bundle item(s), including the inventories of the variants. Proper quantity will also be taken out of the inventory of each bundle that is being purchased.

You can create bundles using our app. We have step-by-step instructions here: https://help.bundlekit.io/creating-a-multi-pack-bundle (multi-pack) or https://help.bundlekit.io/creating-a-mix-match-bundle (mix and match)

We also have an article on how to hide the bundle items from the storefront: https://help.bundlekit.io/hide-bundle-items-on-storefront

Let us know if you have any questions.

1. Add a tag to these individual products
2. Change the collection listing liquid file. Hide the products when the tag matches
3. Use SEO metafield to hide these products from store search
4. You can disable the indivudal product page's add to cart button if necessary. But you have to change the product detail page liquid file again
