Do not show variations that are not available

Technical Q&A
1

I have a bedding company and we manufacture different sizes in different styles. The Twin Size is only manufactured in two styles (see chart below).

Twin is manufactured in the following:

  1. The Scallop
  2. The Wave - Blue

So, when a user selects the first option “twin” and then selects a second option it shows the following below – the three “unavailable” options. I want those to not even be listed if someone selects “twin”. I would like it to just show the Scallop and The Wave. I have already deleted those variant combinations within the product in shopify admin and they continue to show up. Can anyone help with this?

Double check theme settings for an option to hide non-existent combinations.

Search the forums “hide unavailable variants” or similar wording it’s a common discussion with many existing answers whose customizations will depend on the theme.
