Blocking Pages E-Commerce Site

[TP_Marketing]

Hello,

I am working on a site with 1,000's of product pages, some of which do not have inventory in them. Should be blocking these pages in order to reduce bouce rate? How could i manage so many pages efficiently? It would takes weeks to comb through pages to determine which have inventory and which do not. They are also time sensitive as they are live events so dates are always changing.

Thanks!

I think I have found something that will help you. This claims to be able to control your inventory automatically that would alleviate need for you to pull pages and more hassle. I hope this helps.

Ps Google will have cached the site so people will still think you sell the product even if you block it when your out of stock.

I would not promote not in stock but coming soon maybe? Or you can list the true time it would take to order the products even if it's 3 weeks people will still buy if you can say this will be shipped when in stock that way you are covered. You can ask the mfg when it will be in and just list that. I would get a developer to make it so you know when stock # whatever is out then auto switch the txt to say the real ship date. All the best, Tom

What I was thinking of doing is have a "Not in Stock" but sign up for our newsletter when they become available option. This way they do not bounce back out and move forward on the site.

• simply put I am dealing with something similar with woocommerce that you what I something you might not have the option to spend on the platform we're using to do if something is not in stock I can keep a giant thing that says not in stock or what most people do is wait for it to become  stock ready so place the shipping days on the description. Or simply block it out with rules meeting I have a plug-in that allows me to not show the item if I cannot sell it. Does that make sense? I like WordPress for e-commerce I know a lot of people will probably say that they don't however I believe woocommerce is pretty amazing.
