Status Configuration

Status Configuration defines the criteria used to determine whether a product is considered "available". This configuration allows you to customize product availability rules based on your business requirements.

Overview

By default, Shopify considers a product available based on its status and inventory. However, different stores have different needs:

• Some stores want to show all active products regardless of inventory
• Some stores only want to show products with available stock
• Some stores need custom availability logic

Status Configuration gives you control over these rules.

Accessing Status Configuration

1. Navigate to the app home page
2. Click Configuration in the navigation
3. Select the Status Config tab

Product Availability Criteria

Standard Shopify Availability

By default, Shopify considers a product available if:

1. Product status is ACTIVE, AND
2. At least one variant meets inventory requirements:
   • Variant has quantity > 0, OR
   • Variant allows continue selling when out of stock

Customizable Criteria

The PA DiscoveryOS app allows you to customize these criteria through four configuration options:

Configuration	Description	Default
Product Status	Check if product status is ACTIVE	Enabled
Inventory Quantity	At least one variant has quantity > 0	Enabled
Inventory Policy	At least one variant allows continue selling	Enabled

Updating Configuration

Making Changes

1. Navigate to the Status Config tab
2. Check or uncheck the desired options
3. Changes are saved automatically
4. A success message confirms the update

After Configuration Changes

Sync Required

After changing Status Configuration, you must perform a product sync to apply the new availability rules to your product catalog.

The sync process will:

1. Re-evaluate all products against the new criteria
2. Update availability status in the product index
3. Ensure search results reflect the new rules
