FAQ

Our world-class support starts here: How can we help?

The WooCommerce Discontinued Products plugin does everything you need to make your products inactive, without mixing them up with other stock statuses:
- The product can no longer be purchased.
- The Discontinued text (which you can set on the plugin settings page) appears wherever your theme would normally display the In Stock/Out of Stock text.
- Depending on your plugin settings, the products may or may not be hidden from the rest of your shop.
- Search engines can still access the discontinued product pages, so you won't lose the SEO value of these pages. (If you want to remove them from search results, then check out our advice on how to do this.)
- The product will not be included in your reports of other stock statuses such as 'Out of stock', so it won't mess up your stock reports.
- You can view and filter by discontinued products separately in the WordPress admin.
Yes! The plugin provides a choice of two ways to discontinue a product in WooCommerce:
- Immediately - Change the stock status to 'Discontinued', and it stops being purchasable immediately.
- When stock runs out - Alternatively, for products/variations where you are actively managing stock, you can tick a box to automatically discontinue it as soon as the stock level reaches zero. This is the best way to use up your remaining stock before removing the product from sale.
Your discontinued product pages have SEO value, and it would be a shame to lose this. As a result, they will still appear in search engines - even if you have chosen to hide them from the rest of your shop.

If this isn't what you want then we have provided advice on how to remove discontinued products from search results.
We have tested WooCommerce Discontinued Products with a range of free and premium themes and are confident it will look great with your theme. Our plugin support includes helping with theme-related conflicts. However, theme issues are very unlikely because the 'Discontinued' text uses the same styling as the 'out of stock' message in your theme. It doesn't add its own styling.

WooCommerce Discontinued Products is designed to work with any WordPress plugins which display stock information on your website. For example:
- Use it with WooCommerce Product Table to list products in a quick one-page order form, complete with a 'stock' column. You can also use it to list discontinued products on a dedicated page on your website.
- If you use WooCommerce Lead Time to provide clear information about when products will be available, then it works perfectly with WooCommerce Discontinued Products.
- When you use WooCommerce Bulk Variations to list product variations in a grid or price matrix, the discontinued message appears within the grid and these variations are not purchasable.
- If you use Quick View Pro to provide quick buying options for your products, the 'Discontinued' message appears in the lightbox.
Clicking the Buy button above will take you to the purchase options. You can choose either a Lifetime or Annual software license.
- Lifetime licenses never expire. It's a one-time payment which includes all future plugin updates, new features and support, forever.
- Annual licenses are renewed once a year. As long as you have an active license, you will receive support, plugin updates and new features. If your license ever expires then you can continue using the plugin, but won't receive any further updates or support.
You can also choose the number of sites that you can use the plugin on.
