Hi, my customers have been asking if there is a way for a shopping cart to update automatically when things are sold out. Currently, it seems that the cart is making people look for items that are sold out, and remove manually. Is there a way for me to make this a setting in the shop where the cart just takes them out for them when checking out?
Topic summary
Problem: Customers encounter sold-out items lingering in the cart and must manually locate and remove them, creating friction at checkout.
Request: A built-in Shopify (theme-level) setting or approach to automatically update the cart—removing items that become out of stock—ideally triggered at checkout or in real time.
Context: The question implies a need for automation/optimization within a Shopify theme; no technical solution, code, or workaround is provided. Tags suggest potential front-end (CSS/theme) considerations, though the issue likely requires logic beyond styling.
Status: Open and unresolved. No agreed method, decision, or implementation details yet; the poster is seeking guidance on feasibility and how to enable such automatic removal.
