Back in Stock: Hide Button for Specific Products

You can hide the Back in Stock button for specific products using Shopify product tags. This is useful for discontinued items, clearance products, or items you don't plan to restock.

Quick Method: Use the Default Tag

The easiest way to hide the button for a product is to add the tag bis-hidden to the product in your Shopify admin.

To add this tag:

1. Go to your Shopify admin
2. Navigate to Products
3. Select the product you want to hide the button for
4. In the Tags section, add bis-hidden
5. Save the product

For detailed instructions on adding tags, see Shopify's guide on product tags.

Using a Custom Tag

For some stores the bis-hidden tag may not be suitable. For example, you may already have tagged products that won't be restocked with clearance and would prefer to use that existing tag.

You can specify which tag will hide the Back in Stock button:

1. From your Back in Stock dashboard, go to Customization
2. Select Product Page Button
3. Click the Behaviour tab
4. Change the Hide buttons tags field to your preferred tag name
5. Click Save button settings

Note: You can only set one tag and tag names cannot contain comma (,) characters.

Important Limitations

Product-Level Only

Shopify tags can be applied to a product but not to individual variants, so this method will hide Back in Stock buttons for all variants on a product. You cannot use tags to hide the button for only selected variants.

Custom Integrations

This tag method works with buttons added via the Back in Stock storefront widget. It won't hide custom buttons or forms added directly to your product template.

Alternative for Variant-Specific Control

If you need to hide the button for specific variants only, consider using a custom button in your theme template that triggers the Back in Stock signup form when clicked. A custom button coded into a theme template can be fully controlled by the theme developer and can be hidden for individual product variants as needed.
