Collection & Product Price Hider for Sold-Out Items
The Opportunity
An app that lets merchants hide prices selectively for sold-out products, variants, or entire collections without affecting the rest of the store. It would work with theme templates and rules so pricing visibility can change automatically based on inventory status or custom conditions.
"Merchants want to hide prices only for specific sold-out items or collections, but current theme settings typically hide all prices storewide or require manual theme code edits."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide rule-based price visibility controls with conditions like inventory status, collection, product tag, vendor, or manual overrides. The app injects storefront logic or theme app blocks to hide price elements only where rules match, while keeping the rest of the catalog unchanged.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants selling limited-stock products, wholesale/B2B stores, and brands that want to avoid showing prices for out-of-stock or gated items.
Competitive Landscape
Hide Prices apps, B2B/catalog visibility apps, some theme-specific custom code solutions
Implementation Notes
Use theme app extensions and storefront JavaScript/liquid conditions to hide price blocks selectively; support rules by product, collection, inventory status, tags, and publication status; ensure compatibility with major themes and preserve SEO/accessibility behavior.
