Clearance Sale & Hide products after clearance
How these Shopware settings affect Nosto catalogue synchronisation
1 Where to find the settings
Clearance sale
Product → Deliverability
Hide products after clearance
Settings → Products
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.

Practical effects
In-stock products No impact—synchronised as usual.
Clearance sale On + Hide after clearance On + Stock 0 Product disappears from the feed. Previously synced items transition to Discontinued.
Clearance sale On + Hide after clearance Off + Stock 0 Product stays in the feed but is marked unavailable. Status becomes OutOfStock.
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.
3 Recommended workflow
You want to remove sold-out clearance items entirely
Enable Clearance sale and Hide products after clearance.
You want to keep sold-out items visible for SEO / back-in-stock alerts
Enable Clearance sale only.
Product is simply out of stock but not on clearance
