Manage Products and Collections
Updated 3 months agoVegacart lets you sync all your products and collections from Shopify into a custom mobile app where your customers can browse and shop with ease. But there may be times when you want to show or hide specific items from the app.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to manage product and collection visibility in just a few clicks.
Why Hide a Product from the App?
There are plenty of reasons you may want to hide a product or collection from your mobile app. For example:
-
A seasonal item that is not currently in stock
-
A product still in testing that is not ready for mobile shoppers
-
A limited offer that you only want to run on the website
Whatever the reason, Vegacart makes it simple to control visibility through your Shopify admin.
