Discontinued Products for WooCommerce

Discontinued Products for WooCommerce

Managing outdated or unavailable products without deleting them is a challenge many store owners face, and Discontinued Products for WooCommerce solves it with a clear, user-friendly approach. This plugin adds a “discontinued” status to WooCommerce products, allowing them to remain visible while clearly indicating they are no longer available for purchase.

Once marked as discontinued, products display a customizable notice in place of the “Add to Cart” button. This status can be applied manually or programmatically, and it integrates seamlessly with existing product settings. The discontinued label appears across the shop archive, product page, and related product widgets, ensuring consistent messaging throughout the store.

The plugin is designed to preserve SEO value by keeping product URLs active. Unlike deleting or hiding items, discontinued products remain indexed by search engines and continue to attract organic traffic. This is particularly useful for showcasing product history or offering alternative options to visitors.

Site owners can provide additional information such as replacement products, legacy support, or reasons for discontinuation. These messages can be added using shortcodes or directly into the product meta fields. Styling and layout are customizable via built-in settings or theme CSS.

For stores with large catalogs, bulk actions allow multiple products to be marked as discontinued simultaneously. The plugin also supports filtering and sorting by product status within the admin panel, making it easy to manage inventory changes over time.

Discontinued Products for WooCommerce offers a professional way to handle product lifecycle changes without compromising user experience or site integrity. It’s a valuable tool for maintaining transparency, guiding customers, and retaining long-term SEO performance.
