Showing the availability of products

Learn how to use the Availability field in your Store Editor and Catalog Manager.

Article ID: SLN19225

To make it easier for you to include and update product availability information in your store, we've added an Availability field to the Store Editor and Catalog Manager. Just use the field on the Variables page to set availability info for all your items, or override the variable on individual pages to set it per item.

Jump to:

  2. Click the Store link.

  3. Go to Store Editor.
    The Store Editor link is under Edit.
