Product Visibility

1 Prerequisites

In Shopware Admin → Catalogues → Products each product now exposes a Visibility toggle per sales channel:

Earlier plugin releases ignored this flag. The new versions filter products based on it—after a one-time setup.

2 One-Time Setup

Step 1 Run a Full Product Sync

Shopware Admin → Marketing → Nosto Job Listing → Schedule Full Product Sync

Wait until the job status shows Finished.

Step 2 Index Custom Fields in Nosto

1. MyNosto → Product Experience Cloud → Search → Settings → Indexed Fields (You can do the same via Category Merchandising; once is enough.)

   
2. Click Add attribute twice and create the following custom fields:

Step 3 Enable the Feature Flag in the Plugin

Wait for indexing — Nosto re-indexes every six hours. To verify completion you can temporarily create a facet:

• MyNosto → Search → Settings → Facet Manager → New facet group

• Pick showsearch (or showcategory). If the “attribute unavailable” warning disappears, indexing is done. Delete the test facet.

Once indexing is confirmed:

Shopware Admin → Extensions → My Extensions → Nosto → Configuration → Enable products visibility

3 Result

After these three steps the Nosto plugin automatically appends showsearch=true or showcategory=true filters in its Search and Category API calls. Products hidden for a given sales channel in Shopware will no longer surface in Nosto recommendations, merchandising rules, or search results for that channel.
