Hi.

I’m trying to find out if i can hide variant option 3 from our product page.

We have to use a quite complex system to account for different types of VAT. We use a custom inventory manager that adds a variant in option 3 for what type of VAT we pay for the item (marginal, standard amd commission)

I would like to hide option 3 of the variants as it is only for our use. Is it possible to hide this option? Here is an example of what i mean.

Thanks,

David
