It is an automatic collection. And when I remove all tags, the products still display in “all” products.
So I created a condition in the ‘all’ products collection that checks the “type”, and then I created a “type” titled “Hidden” so whatever I want hidden from the store but still buyable, I just add the “type” titled “Hidden”.
I do not know if this is industry standard, but I completed the ticket and the other devs have not said anything.
