The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Creating an invoice for wholesale pricing without the price showing up in On-line store?

In creating an invoice for our wholesale account: I used a variable under each item. Thought , things were great ...No

** We use Weebly/square for our on-line store .....

The variable wholesale priced showed up in the on-line store ...):

So, went back and deleted the variable with the wholesale price on each item..

Question: Best way to create a Price for an wholesale item ???

Without it showing up in the on-line store ....

Any direction or help appreciated...Kim

Each item created in Dashboard will transfer to your site if Square Sync is enabled in the Online Store settings. However, hide the wholesale item from being visible on your site by going to Item Library > select item to edit> and set it to Hidden.

Hiding items is helpful, but is there a way to hide a whole category, without disrupting the items and the way they are set up?

For example, we offer brunch to-go only on the weekend, and only during certain hours. Currently, we have to set it up for Saturday morning, delete it Saturday mid-afternoon, set it up again Sunday morning, and delete it again Sunday afternoon ... and hope we get all of the items in all of the categories and all of the modifiers entered in properly. It's quite cumbersome.

Add to that, when we offer brunch, we do not offer other menu items, like lunch or dinner, so we have to delete/re-enter those categories, as well ... every.single.weekend.

Hey there @SugarMagnolia,

Thank you for posting in the Seller Community.

I ran a test on my own Online Store and I too did not seem to find a way to hide an entire item category.

We definitely see how it could benefit your business model. Our teams are constantly looking through our seller's feedback to make necessary improvements, and will be sure to escalate this finding to the appropriate parties. If anything changes, we will be sure to let you know.

Please let me know if you have any other questions by replying to this thread.

Re: How to delete a variation of an item

Hello Justin! I'm wondering if there's any way to delete a variation of an item in my online store without removing it from my square catalog completely? We've got some variations that we've kept around for specific customers that we don't want order-able generally.

I'm also wondering if there is any way to make modifiers mutually exclusive. For example, we have hot drinks available in 12, 16, and 20oz sizes, but iced drinks are only available in 16 and 20oz. I'd like to make sure folks aren't ordering 12oz iced drinks.

While a whole item can be hidden from your site, an item variation can't be. You'll need to convert them into individual items to hide.

On the other hand, modifiers can be hidden for your iced drinks while being available for your hot drinks. From the Online Store Dashboard, click on an iced drink to edit and scroll to the modifier section.

Click the gear to the right of the modifier:

Then select Hide next to 12 oz:

I hope this helps! @TheCoffeeHag

How do I hide inventory in the items list once an item has sold out?

misskasual — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 21:17:22 GMT

Hello and good day,

Besides deleting an item from our inventory list on the POS, is there another way to hide the sold out items? Our lists are getting quite large and causing inefficient check out times.

Thanks for your help,

-Teri

@JustinC are you please able to link that thread? I'm also looking to do this but haven't found anything helpful.

I have a couple items NOT VISIBLE.

CMW1960 — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 23:51:10 GMT

I have two items that say "not visible". Why? I've set them up the exact way as everything else.

@GetGiggedUTS - Sorry if i found this late, I've been out of the office. Apologies for not linking the thread. Here it is 🙂

JustinC — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 13:45:19 GMT

Hmm, not quite sure why. But you can always make them visible from the site editor. Follow the best answer on this thread I moved you to. @CMW1960

HappyValleyFarm — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 02:10:36 GMT

Sorry - late to the party here, but just chiming in that it would be very handy if I could hide a variation instead of having to delete it. In our case, we have variations that have availability that comes and goes. It would be nice to be able to hide and make visible at will instead of having to delete it and then re-create it again when we have it available. I'm not looking for an answer or help - I'm just chiming in that we would really like the ability to hide and unhide variations.

Re: How to hide out of stock items

Is there a way to have our weebly/square site automatically hide out of stock items rather than having to manually search products 1 by 1 and hide them separately? It’s a huge hassle & time consuming to manually search and “hide” each product as it goes out of stock, then have to go “unhide” it if it’s restocked. There has to be a more efficient & easier way.

Re: How to hide out of stock items

JustinC — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 20:14:41 GMT

@GHFamBoutique

I agree, a feature that automatically hides items when they're out of stock is faster and way less cumbersome when managing your inventory, but I'm afraid there is no other way than manually hiding them.

A faster way might be selecting the check box next to each item in your Item Library list, then hit the three dots in the top right corner > Mark as Hidden. That way you don't have to click each item to edit.

I am just now moving my webstore to Square, and could use a hide category option until I can get everything ready. I also could use a mass-price-set so I don't have to go through every single item.
