Hide Out-of-Stock Variants
Disable unavailable product variants on the Odoo website so customers can't order what isn't in stock.
Overview
Hide Out-of-Stock Variants stops customers from ordering product variants you cannot fulfil. When a variant — a specific size, colour, or other combination — has zero available quantity, the module disables it on the website so it cannot be selected or added to the cart.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, the module keeps the parent product visible in the shop. Shoppers still find the product and buy the variants that are in stock; only the unavailable combinations are blocked. That avoids orders you cannot ship and the refunds and support tickets that follow.
The behaviour is a single toggle in Website settings, and it works alongside the standard Website Sale and Website Sale Stock apps. An optional setting goes further and hides entire products that have zero inventory across every variant.
Key features
-
Automatic variant disabling
Product variants with zero available quantity are disabled on the website automatically, with no manual archiving or unpublishing per variant.
-
Cart prevention
Out-of-stock variants cannot be added to the cart, so customers never place an order for a combination you cannot ship.
-
Products stay visible
The parent product remains visible in the shop. Only the unavailable variants are blocked, so customers still find and buy what is in stock.
-
Website settings toggle
The whole feature is one switch in Website settings — “Disable Out-of-Stock Product Variants” — that you turn on or off without any code.
-
Optional product hiding
An extra setting hides entire products from the shop when every variant has zero inventory, keeping the catalogue clean during stock-outs.
-
Website Sale Stock integration
The module works alongside the standard Website Sale and Website Sale Stock apps, building on Odoo's existing eCommerce stock handling.
-
Better customer experience
By blocking only the combinations you cannot fulfil, the storefront avoids failed orders, refunds, and the support tickets that follow them.

They cannot. The module disables the unavailable variant on the website so it cannot be selected or added to the cart.
