Drodl: Hide SoldOut Products

Oct. 23, 2023

Their pricing is not exactly transparent. No matter what paid version of the app you get, you will have to pay extra to actually hide individual out of stock variants on a product page. And then pay more if you want to hide out of stock variants on your collection pages. Otherwise, the default feature of the app is to hide the entire product from your store if at least one variant is out of stock. I'm giving this 5 stars because they were able to deliver what I originally wanted for what I thought I was paying for. But, this is not the default. Expect to pay at least $200 if you want there to be no trace of out of stock products on your site. They say that these services are made clear on their site, but like most people, I only looked at the Shopify app page before installing the app.

Lichi was quick and responsive and was able to hide variants with a zero quantity on our website. All products that were missing images were also hidden. Thanks for your help Anglerfox :)

The app charges $70 set up fee to be able to use their 'hide variant' function. It's a bit duplicitous and a waste of time for users that they don't mention this on their App Store page.

I have been using this app for several years now and overall I am extremely happy with it. I did have some issues recently where the auto hide function had stopped working on my website, but after contacting their customer service, the issue was resolved in a timely manner and is all working properly again now. I value customer service highly and was very happy with the resolution of my issues. I highly recommend this app for online stores that have many products that may come in and out of stock, as it saves the customer seeing products that they cannot purchase at the time.

Not really happy. Got charged during the seven day "free" period. Now the App tells me I have to login, but no login screen available. Tried clicking on help desk only to get the message that "session has expired" Contacted App developers by Email, no response after 3 days. Yes it works, but I am unable to control how it works, and how often. I get the feeling that some of the reviews on here have been written by the developers friends. Do Shopify verify reviews? After a phone call it appears that this App has been tested on all browsers, but does not work with Firefox, the solution seems to be for me to change browser. Ummm NO! I'm not changing my browser to suit your APP, make it work with Firefox, otherwise I'll be changing browsers all the time to suit Apps! So another update. I've been offered three months free, which is pointless if the app will not work with the browser I am using. It is easier for me to find an app that works with Firefox, than it is to open another browser, and remember which one works, when I want to use this app. For some reason the developers cannot comprehend this. I can now report that the issue with Firefox has been resolved, and the app is now working with the browser. ****Update 27/02/2022**** When this APP hides products, it hides the URL, which produces a 404 error on Google, 404 errors will stop Goggle crawling and indexing your pages. Google was refusing to index my pages, even when I submitted them manually for indexing. After disabling this APP the number of indexed pages on my site doubled in less than 12 hrs. If you install this APP, keep a close eye on your Google indexing via your search console. I have asked this question with the APP developers and this is the reply from them. "Hi There, ​​When a product hide from the store then Shopify removes that product URL. ​If someone loads that product then it will show a 404 page not found. Google indexing is not related to our app. That is related to SEO. ​So our app won't affect anything on your store. ​​Regards, ​Chandra Rekha." They admit that hiding the URL results in a 404, but then say it's an SEO problem, which is true. In other words, this APP is bad for SEO, and will affect your Google ranking. So I have had to down rank my rating once again to one star, if there were a 0 star rating it would get that, purely because it is not SEO compatible.

The support team is great. They were quick to respond and they helped us with all of our customizations. Instead of hiding variants completely, they were able to mask the swatches with a gray overlay.

I used this app to Hide Sold out Variants. I tried many app but this was only app that worked very in a very simple way. This app works fine without any conflict with any other app for inventory. Customization was done very quickely after the request. I am grateful to Anglerfox team for the support in resolving my problem especially Chandra Rekha.

I used this app to help me auto hide variants out of stock :) I got help from the team setting everything up and it was amazing. They did a great job! Thank you so much guys!

This app is great!! Definitely worth having this app on your store. Customer service is amazing, very fast and efficient!!!

Edit again. Let's start from the beginning. 1) Autohide also adds to your plan any item which is either in status draft or archived. So very soon you are paying the maximum. 2) Once you reach your plan limit, there is no communication. You need to find out for yourself. Since we use around 50 apps, i do not think I have time to verify each app each day. Very annoying. The app itself works fine. But the above points are very important to me, as a business.

I have been using this amazing app for over a year now. I needed the app developers to do some more work on a new theme and they have been amazing, so accommodating getting the work done really quickly . The app works really well and I would recommend this great company to everyone needing to hide sold out products and variants

With 1000+ items in my store this app has allowed me to hide the many that are out of stock and make it look clean and presentable. I took the option of the hide variant feature and wiith some assistance from the technical team that supports the app have been able to implement it nicely. Job well done and highly recommended.

this application has been very useful and has helped us manage our product listing and stock. we have been able to hide products that we do not want to delete from our shop which saves us a lot of time. thanks for assisting us with our support queries as well. the response times were good given that you are in india

Great app! Very simple and great way to boost sales over the front-end, making all items that aren't available un-displayed.

Excellent app. Does exactly what is says it will. If you need to remove products or variants that are not for sale this app does it perfectly. Yes you have to pay the fee to hide variants, but this COULD NOT be clearer when you sign up. The support can be a little slow, but it was done in reasonable time and with good communication. You can see it working on our site: www.halcyonblue.com

Installed this app as I needed the ability to hide out of stock variants. You have to pay $79 extra for this service which is not clear in their description. I paid the additional charge and it's been about 3 days and no one has gotten back to me on installation even though I left a message in their chat support asking for an update and responded immediately to their request for staff account access. Very frustrating and would not recommend if you need it urgently because support is slow and they don't get back to you. I'm 4 days into my trial and unable to use this app despite paying the additional $79.

I looked up this app at the last minute only a few hours before doing a massive product launch - where hiding variants once they sold out was critical. The team at Anglerfox was very accommodating to this last minute request, and set-up / configured the app well within the time I needed it to function. I know this is not a regular case that they can help in such a timely manner, so I am so thankful for their help!

WOW, this app is perfect for automating when products go in and out of stock on our site. It hides out of stock variants too. A great fit for our site, since we have a lot of product, saves us tons of man hours, allowing us to be more productive.
