Is there a way to keep my events separate from the "Shop All" page?

[Cristal69]

When a customer hits the shop button. My events are showing as an item.  Is there a way to stop this without losing the events section on my home page?

Hello, @Cristal69, and welcome! 🤗

Ohh, this is a great question, I haven’t seen it come up often, but there is a workaround if this is important to your website flow!

So, what's happening is that your "Shop All" page (linked to your "Shop" button) automatically displays every item that's available to purchase online, including events. Even though you’ve set up an event as a separate item type, it’s still treated like any other sellable item, so it will always appear on the Shop All page.

The first option would be to reorder your items on this page (a quick fix).

While you can’t remove specific items from the Shop All page, you can adjust the order in which they appear:

• Select the item list on your Shop All page
• Select Arrange Order
• Drag all your event items to the bottom of the list
• Select Publish to save your changes

This won’t remove them, but it keeps them out of view at the top of the page.

The second option is to manually curate a custom “Shop” page.

If you’d prefer to remove events from the Shop page altogether, a more drastic but doable approach would be to:

• Delete the current "Shop All" page from your navigation
• Create a new blank page and name it “Shop” (which can be added to your site navigation)
• Add a Featured Items or Featured Categories section this new page

Featured Items: lets you manually select specific items

Featured Categories: shows grouped items once a customer selects a category (ideal if events are already in their own category)

This gives you full control over which items display on your Shop page.

Just a heads-up, if you have a large inventory, this approach does require some manual upkeep, and you’ll need to regularly check that all relevant items/categories are included. But for a smaller, curated store, it’s a great solution.

Stock tracking will still work as normal, so if an item sells out, it will reflect that automatically.

Let me know what you think, and if you'd like help setting this up, I’m happy to walk you through it!

Good Morning Laurie, thanks for responding. And thanks for the information. I will probably use the first option until my event season is over. In the off-season, I will be revamping my page with new products, deleting old products and since it's gonna take a minute , I rather do that process all at once. Thank you again so much.

You're so welcome, @Cristal69, I'm really glad to hear the options were helpful! 😊

Please make a change where event types do not show up in the shop all that customers view as a store front. They're two entirely separate ways of experiencing the store. And I'm stuck with them on my product page or I can't use the event widget on the website/page where my events are collected.  I also have too many products to manually move those to the bottom of my shop all page. That's a ridiculous solution to a categorization fix.
