supportTo improve store conversion and prevent customers from getting frustrated, it would be very important if it was possible to make it clear that the variation is out of stock. Leaving the button grayed out or crossed out, for example. Is there any way to do this? I couldn’t see if there is any special class for out-of-stock swatches…
Hello, WooCommerce has an option to hide out-of-stock products from the catalog, it works for the variation swatches too. You just need to enable this option in WooCommerce > Products > Inventory. It is the option “Out of stock visibility”.
This is not an option. For many stores, keeping the product visible is part of a strategy. For example, imagine I’m buying a t-shirt that comes in 3 sizes: S, M, L. If size M runs out and simply disappears, the consumer may be misled into thinking that size S or size L are their only options. If the product arrives and doesn’t fit, the store has to pay for reverse logistics, which is a loss. Also, it is common for stores to use a feature to be notified when a product that was out of stock returns. This is what this plugin here does: https://wordpress.org/plugins/back-in-stock-notifier-for-woocommerce/ This helps A LOT to identify demand and also to obtain leads at a time of low stock that can be commercially exploited when stock returns. In this model store I did a test: https://modeloloja.wjkmarketing.com.br/loja/camiseta-branca/ Notice how the “GG” variation is out of stock and the customer only notices it after clicking on the variation. This is frustrating. This is a feature that other plugins of the same type offer, note: https://ps.w.org/woo-variation-swatches/assets/screenshot-5.jpg?rev=2462963 But I really liked your plugin, how simple and functional it is. I would love to use your plugin on my clients’ stores, but unfortunately this feature is crucial.
Please consider implementing at least a CSS class for out of stock variations. I am using your solution on some client sites, but I will be forced to switch to another plugin if this is not implemented, unfortunately 🙁
