Using custom metafields to mark products as out of stock

Shopify Discussion

I’m trying to make a quick cheat code to mark porducts as out of stock on my store, even tho when they are in stock on the system.

I’ve created the “True or False” variante metafield: variant.metafields.custom.sold_out

And i’m trying to use the following code:

{%- liquid
  assign default_text = 'products.product.add_to_cart' | t
  assign button_text = 'products.product.add_to_cart' | t
  if template contains 'preorder'
    assign default_text = 'products.product.preorder' | t
    assign button_text = 'products.product.preorder' | t
  endif
  unless current_variant.available and current_variant.metafield.custom.sold_out != 'true'
    assign button_text = 'products.product.sold_out' | t
  endunless
-%}


<button
  {% if product.empty? %}type="button"{% else %}type="submit"{% endif %}
  name="add"
  data-add-to-cart
  class="btn btn--full add-to-cart{% if enable_dynamic_buttons and product.selling_plan_groups == empty %} btn--secondary{% endif %}"
  {% unless current_variant.available and current_variant.metafields.custom.sold_out != 'true' %} disabled="disabled" {% endunless %}>
  <span data-add-to-cart-text data-default-text="{{ default_text }}">
    {{ button_text }}
  </span>
</button>

But that doesn’t seem to work, can anyone help me with this?

current_variant.metafields.custom.sold_out != true
  • Change the condition, drop the quotes and try it out

nah same thing, no results…

{{current_variant.available}}  {{current_variant.metafields.custom.sold_out}}

It is recommended to print the above conditions for judgment

It is printing “true or false” on both. That is not the issue.
