Hide Out Of Stock Attributes / Manage Inventory Variants

[delcorsets]

lesliekirk I've not ever found a solution on my end.. my original focus was not trying to display the Inventory as a facet, but rather to hide master products from search results if the shopper was filtering on a size variant that was out of stock.. sort of the same thing, but not exactly.

“a customer wants to find pants in size XXS, an uncommon size. In the Pants Category when they select the facet checkbox for size XXS, instead of only seeing the one pair of pants available/in-stock in that size, they are presented with 40 products. All of those products have an XXS inventory variant, but only one of those 40 results actually has a size XXS in stock and available to purchase."

Still hoping for a solution as this does cause a lot of shopper aggravation.. customers search for their size using the faceted search checkbox, get lots of results, but then proceed into the product page only to find that their desired size is sold out.

Hey delcorsets Yeah, sorry. I did see where the thread did go a little sideways. I think I'll try to start a new one and reference parts of this one.

lesliekirk It seems that if one of these scenarios could be resolved than the other scenario could also be resolved - both require facets to have access to inventory counts on the variant level.

I did start a new thread since my question doesn't necessarily involve inventory counts at the variant level - but yeah it's good to keep this thread alive for the very reason you mentioned.
