Unlist Shopify products

Hide a product from your Shopify storefront while keeping it available through direct links and checkout.

What it does, and what it doesn't

Unlisted is a Shopify product status. It removes the product from Shopify-powered collections, search and recommendations, which is useful for a product you only want to offer during a live show. The product's direct link still works, and it behaves like an active product in cart and checkout.

Sprii does not read the Unlisted status. The product stays in your Sprii catalog, and Shopify decides whether checkout accepts it.

Requirements

  • The Shopify integration connected to your Page, and a Shopify account that can edit products.
  • The Sprii campaign where you will sell the product. In the campaign's Setup, Use webshop integration must be on, or the check below opens Sprii's own checkout instead of Shopify.
  • The campaign's Checkout Type, also in its Setup. A campaign can use a different type from the Page default, and the check below tests the type this campaign uses.
  • A checkout link or checkout button in the campaign's customer message. Without one, Customer cart does not appear on the order.
  • The exact Shopify product and variant, imported into that campaign. A product you created manually in Sprii does not go through Shopify, so it cannot be used for the check.

Unlist the product in Shopify

  1. In Shopify, open Products and select the checkbox beside the product. You can select several products at once.
  2. Open the … menu and choose Unlist products.
  3. Check that the product's status now shows Unlisted.

Check the product in checkout

Note: This check creates a real reservation in the campaign and a real Shopify cart or draft order. Nothing is ordered or paid.

  1. In Sprii, go to Campaigns Campaigns in the main menu and open the campaign that contains the product.
  2. Click Open > Orders.

    The campaign's Open menu with Orders
  3. Click Create reservation, enter a test Customer name, and click Create reservation in the dialog. Sprii creates an empty order.
  4. Open the new order and click Add product.
  5. Enter a Qty and choose the unlisted product and variant under Product. Then click Create reservation to add it to the order.

    Create reservation dialog with Qty, the Product list and example variants such as 101: Cotton T-shirt - Small
  6. Click Customer cart Customer cart button
  7. Shopify opens in a new tab. For Shopping cart, check the Shopify cart; for Draft Order, check the draft-order checkout. The route follows this campaign’s Checkout Type. Check that the right product, variant and price appear and that checkout opens. You do not need to place or pay for the order.

If the correct product, variant and price appear in the expected Shopify checkout, you have confirmed the handoff for this campaign’s Checkout Type. The product remains Unlisted in Shopify.

Limitations

  • Important: Unlisted does not stop sales. Anyone with the direct link can still buy the product.
  • Third-party search apps and custom storefront code can show products differently from Shopify's own collections and search.
  • Draft and Archived are different Shopify product statuses from Unlisted. Unpublishing a product from a sales channel is a separate visibility setting; deleting a product permanently removes it from Shopify. This guide does not cover those options.
