# Hide out-of-stock products

✨Managing the visibility of out-of-stock products on your collection pages can enhance the shopping experience for your customers. The **Smart Product Filter & Search** app offers three options to control how sold-out products or variants are displayed:​

1. **Show**: Displays both in-stock and out-of-stock products on the collection page.​
2. **Hide**: Hides out-of-stock products from the collection page by default.​
3. **Only hide out-of-stock products when filtering**: Initially shows all products, but hides sold-out items from the filtered results after a customer applies a filter.​

🛠**To configure these settings:**

1. **Access the App Settings**:
   * From your Shopify admin panel, go to **Apps** and select **Smart Product Filter & Search**.​
2. **Navigate to Product/Variants Settings**:
   * In the app's left sidebar, click on **Settings**.​
   * Scroll to the **Product/Variants** section.​
3. **Set Out-of-Stock Product Display Preference**:
   * In the **Out of stock Products/Variants** dropdown menu, choose one of the following options:​
     * **Show**: Display both in-stock and out-of-stock products.
     * **Hide**: Display only in-stock products.
     * **Only hide out-of-stock products when filtering**: Show all products initially; hide sold-out items after filtering.
4. **Save Your Changes**:
   * Click the **Save** button to apply your selected setting.​
