How to update site visibility settings on the Square Dashboard's new Edit item page.

bonsaisteve · ‎10-31-2025

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: What happened to visability setting in items edit?

I'm trying to use the new item edit form and I can't find item visabilty. I use it to hide items out of stock. I also set up items in advance of reciving them and keep the items hidden until I phyically have the items avilable to ship. It use to be near the boittom of the edit items page but now does not appear anywhere. Anyone know of another place you can change the item visability?

I tried to get help in support but it seems to be wonky right now.

Thanks for your question, @bonsaisteve!

Site visibility is still available via the new Edit item page. Here's how to locate this setting:

1. Sign in to your Square Dashboard, and go to your item library.
2. Click on an item to bring up the Edit item page.
3. On the Edit item page, on the right hand side, you should see Locations and channels.
4. Click the Edit button near Channels.
5. You'll then see Site Visibility on the next page that pops up.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Items now are automatically listed as available for sale online.

BEFORE: we clicked on locations and channels and the visibility option was present and not checked. This workflow was preferable because you could decide, while creating the item, to make it visible.

NOW: we create the item, save it and go back to the list of items and make it hidden or unavailable. If you forget or are sidetracked, the item you do not want online appears on the online store.

If someone could explain the logic behind this change, I would greatly appreciate it.
