Product Visibility Statuses

Shopit gives you the ability to automatically set the default status of an item according to its stock level.

There are two statuses where you can set a product's visibility are:

The visibility statuses to choose from are:

Website Status	Status on CSV import	Notes
Active and Purchaseable	purchasable	available to view and buy
Active and Unpurchaseable	unpurchasable	available to view but not buy. Often used when an item is pre-launch, out of stock, or restricted
Disabled and Hidden	disabled	A temporary status when the product is not available to view or buy
Permanently Unavailable and Hidden	unavailable	a permanent status when the item is not available to view or buy

Therefore a product will have 3 statuses in total, across 2 cells, in the Shopit database e.g.

Which would look like this on the CSV:

Visibility	Sold Out Status
purchasable	disabled/unpurchasable

Here:

The item's normal status (today) is (active and) purchasable.
When it's sold out, it will revert to disabled and be hidden from the site user
When back in stock, the status will be (active and) unpurchasable - because you need to check back orders etc before making fully purchasable again.
