Can I hide out-of-stock product variants on my Odoo website without custom code?

Yes. Hide Unavailable Variants installs directly from the Odoo App Store and all configuration is handled through the standard Website Settings interface. No custom development or server-side changes are required. Setup takes under 10 minutes.

What visibility options are available for out-of-stock variants?

The module offers multiple display modes: completely hide unavailable variants from the product page, show them as greyed-out or crossed-out with a status message, or disable selection so customers can see the option exists but cannot add it to cart. Administrators choose the behavior that best fits their store strategy.

Can I display custom messages when a variant is out of stock?

Yes. Administrators can configure tailored out-of-stock messages that display alongside disabled or crossed-out variants. You can also suggest alternative products to guide customers toward available options rather than losing the sale entirely.

Which Odoo versions does Hide Unavailable Variants support?

Hide Unavailable Variants supports Odoo 16, 17, 18, and 19. It works on both Community and Enterprise editions across all hosting environments including Odoo Online, Odoo.sh, and On-Premise deployments.

How does the module determine which variants are unavailable?

The module integrates with Odoo's inventory system and uses configurable low-stock thresholds. Administrators set the stock level at which variants should be treated as unavailable, and the module automatically applies the chosen visibility behavior — hide, disable, or cross-out — based on real-time inventory data.

Hide Unavailable Variants — Odoo eCommerce variant visibility control

What is Hide Unavailable Variants?

Hide Unavailable Variants is an Odoo eCommerce module that manages the visibility of out-of-stock product variants on your website storefront. Instead of displaying every variant option regardless of availability — confusing shoppers and increasing cart abandonment — this module gives administrators full control over how unavailable selections appear to customers. You can hide them completely, show them as crossed-out with status messaging, disable their selection, or display custom out-of-stock messages with alternative product suggestions. The result is a cleaner shopping experience that drives customers toward products they can actually buy.

How Hide Unavailable Variants Solves eCommerce Conversion Problems

Problem

Zehntech Solution

Customers select a variant only to discover it's out of stock at checkout

Unavailable options are hidden or disabled before customers can select them

Out-of-stock variants create a cluttered, confusing product page

Remove or visually distinguish unavailable options so only purchasable choices are prominent

Cart abandonment increases when shoppers encounter dead-end selections

Shoppers are guided toward available variants from the start, reducing friction

No way to communicate stock status on the product attribute level

Custom out-of-stock messages display directly alongside unavailable variant options

Lost sales when customers leave instead of choosing an alternative

Alternative product suggestions redirect shoppers toward available options

Developers must build custom JavaScript to manage variant display

All visibility controls are handled through admin settings — no code required

Stock levels change constantly but variant display remains static

Integration with Odoo inventory ensures display updates automatically as stock changes

Different stores need different approaches to unavailable variants

Multiple display modes (hide, disable, cross-out) let each store choose its strategy

Complete Variant Visibility Control for Your Odoo Storefront

Hide Unavailable Variants Completely

Remove out-of-stock product variants from the storefront entirely so customers only see options they can purchase. When stock is replenished, variants reappear automatically.

Why it matters: A streamlined product page with only available options reduces decision fatigue and eliminates dead-end selections that cause cart abandonment.

Greyed-Out / Crossed-Out Display Mode

Instead of hiding variants entirely, display unavailable options in a visually distinct state — greyed-out or crossed-out — with a status indicator.

Why it matters: This approach preserves full product range visibility while clearly communicating stock status, useful for stores where customers may want to check back later.

Disable Selection of Unavailable Options

Prevent customers from selecting or adding unavailable variant combinations to their cart. The option remains visible but is functionally locked.

Why it matters: This stops the frustrating experience of selecting a variant, proceeding through the flow, and then encountering an out-of-stock error.

Custom Out-of-Stock Messaging

Configure tailored messages that display alongside disabled or crossed-out variants. Administrators can set specific text per product or across the store.

Why it matters: A clear message like "Back in stock next week" or "Contact us for availability" turns a dead-end into a potential future sale.

Alternative Product Suggestions

When a variant is unavailable, recommend alternative products to guide customers toward a purchase rather than losing them entirely.

Why it matters: Instead of the customer leaving your store empty-handed, you redirect their intent toward available inventory — recovering revenue.

No-Code Admin Configuration

All visibility settings, thresholds, display modes, and messaging are managed through the Odoo Website Settings interface. No JavaScript modifications required.

Why it matters: Store managers and eCommerce teams can adjust variant visibility strategy on the fly without creating development tickets.

Hide Unavailable Variants — FAQ illustration

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — Hide Unavailable Variants installs directly from the Odoo App Store with no coding required. All configuration is managed through the standard Odoo Website Settings interface. Store managers can adjust visibility rules immediately without developer involvement. Setup is completed in under 10 minutes by any Odoo administrator.

You can hide unavailable variants from the product page entirely so only purchasable options appear. Alternatively, display them as greyed-out or crossed-out with a visible status indicator. A third option disables selection so customers see the variant exists but cannot add it to cart. Each mode serves a different merchandising strategy — choose the one that fits your store.

Yes — administrators can configure tailored messages that appear alongside unavailable variant options. Messages can communicate expected restock dates, contact information, or any custom text. You can also configure alternative product suggestions to guide customers toward available inventory. This transforms dead-end selections into potential future sales or active redirections.

The module supports Odoo 16, 17, 18, and 19. Both Community and Enterprise editions are fully compatible. All hosting environments are supported: Odoo Online, Odoo.sh, and On-Premise. Each version receives lifetime updates as part of your one-time purchase.

The module integrates with Odoo's native Inventory system to track real-time stock levels. Administrators configure a low-stock threshold — when inventory falls below that level, the visibility rule activates. As stock is replenished, variants automatically reappear or re-enable on the storefront. No manual intervention is required once thresholds are configured.
