We sell products that are in stock (fast delivery) and out of stock (longer delivery). We want customers to be able to filter on only items that are “in stock”. We have tried the new search and recommendation app from Shopify but the availability filter only works if you specify that out of stock pr…

Hi, we have the exact same issue. Did you figure out how to do so?

Hi There - we didn’t really solve it but came up with a work around that is not ideal but works for now. We created a collection where inventory > 0 and then created a page which only shows items in this collection - we show this as a quick ship page. In addition we could create a metafield based on…

Is there any other way? Can someone tell me in which file I can change the code of the default filter availability (Dawn Theme)? It just needs to remove the sell-continue field from the conditions.

I have created via. API, which sets a corresponding meta field if the goods can be ordered. This means that I no longer filter by stock level but by what is in this field. That was the only solution I found. The field is updated every 15 minutes.

Regarding no. 2, you can create filter by Stock on hand for products with inventory > 0 and Pre-order for “Continue selling when out of stock” products that have inventory < = 0. [stock-on-hand.png]

Totally agree – that’s what we wanted as well. I am surprised that I can add the “In Stock” collection to a metafield but am then not able to create a filter from the metafield.
