Products

Setting Options Default
Source Collection, All products, Product tag Collection

Product tag A tag, matched exactly. “Used when the source is Product tag.” Empty

Default sort Source order, Title, SKU, Price, low to high, Price, high to low Source order
Out-of-stock variants Hide, Show, not orderable, Allow backorder if the variant permits Show, not orderable

Things to know:

  • Products per page counts products, not rows. Each variant gets its own row, so a page with 25 products can show 100 rows.
  • With Product tag, the pad pages through all products and keeps the ones with your tag, so some pages show fewer products than Products per page. Buyers click Load more products for the rest.
  • On the storefront, Source order is called Featured in the Sort by menu.

Out-of-stock variants

Option Sold out rows Backorder rows
Hide Hidden Hidden
Show, not orderable Shown, quantity disabled Shown, quantity disabled
Allow backorder if the variant permits Shown, quantity disabled Orderable

A variant is Backorder when Shopify lets it sell with tracked inventory at zero or below. It’s Sold out when Shopify doesn’t allow it to sell.

Columns

Column Default
Image On
SKU On
Barcode Off
Availability On
Price breaks (shown to buyers as Volume pricing) On
Compare-at price Off

Product, Unit price, Quantity and Line total always show. Line totals use volume pricing even when the Price breaks column is hidden.

Visitors

Show to visitors without a B2B account is off by default. When on, logged-out visitors and customers without a company see the pad at retail prices. Leave it off for a wholesale-only order form.
