Product and Storefront Status: Ensuring Visibility and Availability for Your Customers

Gain insights into how these statuses function, ensuring customers can view and purchase your products.

Note: The "Product Status" setting is under Basic Details configuration page, and the "Storefront Status" setting is under SKU configuration page if changes are needed.

Example 1: These settings will allow the product to be seen and purchased by customers. 

Status	Storefront
Product Status = Active	Customers can see the product in the store
Storefront Status = Active	Product is available for purchase by the customers

Example 2: These settings will allow customers to see the product, but not purchase the product. This is a great way to showcase new and upcoming products for your store. 

Status	Storefront
Product Status = Active	Customers can see the product in the store
Storefront Status = Inactive	Product is not available for purchase by customers

Example 3: These settings mean the product is hidden in your store but still purchasable. Set the product status to inactive during maintenance and to active when finished. For seasonal or temporarily unavailable products, change the status to archived to keep them in your catalog.

Status	Storefront
Product Status = Inactive	Customers can not see the product in the store
Storefront Status = Active	Product is not available for purchase by customers

Example 4: These settings hide the product in your store and make it unpurchasable. Use them when a product is no longer available or to archive it for later use. If you are no longer going to use the product in your store, consider deleting it from your product catalog.

Status	Storefront
Product Status = Inactive	Customers can not see the product in the store
Storefront Status = Inactive	Product is not available for purchase by customers
