Hello,
We use the multi-store function as we have an online supermarket and also an online coffee shop. At supermarket online, we sell all items from the catalogue, while at the online coffee shop, we only sell coffee and chocolates.
Is there any function, or is there planned to exist in a future version to hide the products of a certain category in one of the stores (online coffee shop)? Currently, if we don't associate certain categories with one of the multi-store stores, even though that category is hidden, the products normally remain visible, both by visitors and by search engines. The only solution that currently exists is every time we edit a product, we manually disable that product in stores that we don't want to be visible.
I think that if this function doesn't exist yet, Prestashop should bet on its development. Certainly there will be other merchants who could benefit from it, for example, to hide certain products, of a category, depending on the country of the multi-store store.
There is a module on the marketplace, which serves to hide products, taking into account several factors, and which solves this problem, however, it causes an excessive slowness in loading the product category pages.
Waiting feedback,
Thanks,
Marco Teixeira
