Clearance Sale & Hide products after clearance

How these Shopware settings affect Nosto catalogue synchronisation

1 Where to find the settings

2 How the options interact

Key principle The two settings only matter when the product is out of stock (Stock < 1). If the product is in stock, it always synchronises to Nosto and appears as InStock.

Behaviour matrix (out-of-stock items)

Clearance sale	Hide after clearance	Result in Nosto	Notes
Off	Off or On	InStock	“Hide after clearance” is ignored unless Clearance sale is On.
On	Off	OutOfStock	Item remains in Nosto but is flagged unavailable.
On	On	Not sent → previously synced items switch to Discontinued	Item is completely omitted from the feed.

---

Practical effects

1. In-stock products No impact—synchronised as usual.

2. Clearance sale On + Hide after clearance On + Stock 0 Product disappears from the feed. Previously synced items transition to Discontinued.

3. Clearance sale On + Hide after clearance Off + Stock 0 Product stays in the feed but is marked unavailable. Status becomes OutOfStock.

4. Clearance sale Off + Stock 0 Product remains visible in Nosto as “InStock”. Use this when you still want to promote wait-lists or pre-orders.
