Hello Liyana,
Thank you for your comment. Since there is no "built-in" option for automatically removing out of stock products, the easiest way would be to use an extension such as the Hide Remove Out of Stock/No Stock Products from Category. They also provide a coding solution on the official OpenCart forum here. If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, -John-Paul |

Hello, do you know how to do this in the latest version of opencart 2.0.3.1. When I have a certain product sold it shows in stock instead of out of stock. I can't find it nowhere in the options. Thanks in advance. |

Good day
Are you able to display the "Out of Stock" where the price tags pop up or "Out of Stock" to show across the product picture like a stamp?
The clients have to click on the product first to go into it and then small on the right, it says Out of Stock.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |

This isn't part of the normal functionality, but it can be added. The code snippets and solutions provided by some of the WooCommerce community can be found here. Follow these directions to add the out of stock label to your catalog view.
