Controlling Product Visibility
Make sure your Products are assigned to a Category!
Unless individually added to a product block or Shop All in your theme, products typically will not show up in the storefront if uncategorized.
In the settings of your Products there are options for Visibility.
1. Not Visible Individually means that the Product will not appear in your store individually. This way, variations of a Configurable Product or the products within a Bundled Product can be hidden as stand-alone products. This also applies to products sold via Admin orders only, but not available in the store.
When 1. Not Visible Individually is selected, there is a checkbox above to configure whether the product may be purchased or not, without disabling it.
2. Catalog (Hidden from Search) means that the Product will appear in the storefront but will not appear in search results.
3. Search (Hidden from Catalog) means that the Product will be searchable, but will not appear within your storefront.
4. Visible in Catalog and Search means that the Product will appear in both the search results and in the storefront.
Disabled Products
A disabled product may still purchased on an Admin created order.
