A user on Shopify Plus reports that their Product Status options show only Active and Draft and asks how to enable or create additional statuses like Unavailable or Inactive. They are seeking guidance on whether more status types exist and how to configure them in the plus-admin.
Product Status refers to how a product is labeled in the Shopify admin (e.g., Draft for not ready, Active for available), which impacts visibility and availability across sales channels. The user’s goal is to use more granular statuses beyond the two they see.
No solutions, workarounds, or official confirmations are provided in the thread. There are no attachments or code snippets.
Status of discussion: unresolved and open. Key unanswered questions: Can Shopify Plus add custom product statuses? Is Unavailable/Inactive a configurable option or not supported in the current admin?
Hi guys,
I’m new here, and when I see my Product Status options I can see only Active and Draft.
I would like to use Unavailable or Inactive or any other status but I can’t find where to enable or create those options.
Can you guys please guide me on this?
Thanks in advance.
