Hey everyone, I’m working on my Prestashop store and I’ve got a bit of a tricky situation. I’ve got some products that I don’t want showing up all over the frontend. Basically, I want them to be like secret items that you can only see if you have the direct link. They shouldn’t appear in categories, search results, or anywhere else on the site.
I’m not sure if this is even possible in Prestashop. Has anyone done something like this before? Any tips or tricks would be super helpful. I’ve been scratching my head over this for a while now.
If it matters, I’m running the latest version of Prestashop. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
ooh, that’s an interesting challenge! have u considered using the ‘visibility’ setting in the product options? i think u can set it to ‘not visible’ or somthing like that. might be worth explorin. curious tho, why do u want to hide certain products? sounds intriguing!
yeh, u can hide products by settin them as ‘out of stock’ and disabling other ordering options. they won’t appear in listings, though direct links work. just update inventory if u decide to sell them later
There’s actually a straightforward way to achieve this in Prestashop. You can utilize the ‘Visibility’ option in the product settings. Set it to ‘Nowhere’ for the items you want to hide. This will keep them out of categories, search results, and other listings, but they’ll still be accessible via direct URL.
Remember to ensure these hidden products are properly categorized and priced, as they’ll still be purchasable if someone has the link. Also, consider the SEO implications of hiding products this way. It might affect your site’s overall visibility if you’re hiding too many items.
