You can display products and product variants that are unavailable.

Jump to:

Access this settings by navigating to MBC Bundle Builder Settings → General settings → Out of stock products

1. Show out of stock products

  • If enabled, out-of-stock products still appear in the product grid.

  • Your store will show an “Out of stock” label and the Add to bundle button will be disabled.

  • This is useful if you want customers to see the full catalog, even when some items aren’t available.

2. Out of stock and unavailable options

This applies when products have variants (like Size or Color) or when certain product combinations are unavailable.

You can choose one of these behaviors:

  • Show all options (default)

    • All product options remain visible.

    • If an option is unavailable, the button changes to “Out of stock” instead of “Add to bundle.”

  • Hide unavailable options

    • Options that are not sold by your store are hidden.

    • Example: If “Large + Blue” is never sold, it won’t appear in the dropdown.

  • Hide unavailable and out of stock options

    • Both unavailable (not sold) and out-of-stock (sold but currently empty inventory) options are hidden.

    • Example: If “Medium + Green” is temporarily out of stock, it won’t show until it’s restocked.

In short:

Show all options = customers see everything, with “Out of stock” badges.

Hide unavailable options = removes only combinations you never sell.

Hide unavailable & out of stock options = cleans up the dropdown so customers see only available options.

How displaying products that are out of stock work?

Out of Stock settings in MBC Builder allow you to handle unavailable products in 3 ways:

1. Show all options: All options will be visible, but the button will show "Out of stock" instead of "Add to bundle"

2. Hide unavailable options: When Large is selected, Blue won't be visible in the color options (unavailable)

3. Hide unavailable and out of stock options: Hide out-of-stock products or variants from your store entirely, providing a cleaner shopping experience without showing unavailable items.
