Troubleshoot a product that is not showing
Check product visibility, category, inventory, and storefront settings.
A product can be saved in the catalog but still not appear where customers expect it. Visibility can depend on product status, category status, storefront configuration, inventory, required fields, filters, and recent publishing changes.
Check product status
- Confirm the product Status is set to the expected value, such as Draft or Published.
- Check Publishing destinations such as Website and Getme Commerce where relevant.
- Check whether the product or its category is archived.
- Review required fields such as product name, media, price, currency, product type, and slug where applicable.
- Confirm the Search Engine Listing preview, page title, meta description, URL handle, and product slug if you are checking a direct URL.
- Check Standard Product Category and product metafields if the storefront or feed depends on category-specific data.
Check category and storefront placement
If customers browse by category or collection, confirm the product is assigned to the right category, collection, catalog, or storefront surface and that those surfaces are published or active where needed. If storefront actions control product cards or detail buttons, review that contract before assuming the product should appear.
Check inventory and variants
For stock-tracked products, inventory or variant availability can affect whether the item appears as buyable. Review the product and variant stock, then test the storefront or preview flow after saving changes.
If the product still does not appear
- Refresh the admin list and storefront preview.
- Check whether filters such as status, type, category, or search query are hiding the item.
- Review recent edits to category, collection, catalog, status, publishing, slug, inventory, storefront actions, or navigation.
- Send support the product name, slug, category, expected page, and the last edit time if the issue continues.
