About the Extension

Automatic Variant Switch for Sold-Out Preview Variants – Keep Your Products Visible and Available
Make sure your products always appear as available in the listing – even when specific variants are sold out!

By default, Shopware displays the so-called preview variant of a product in the product listing. However, if that particular variant is out of stock, the entire product is marked as “not available” – even though other variants may still be in stock. This not only reduces product visibility in your shop, but can also lead to lost sales.

Our extension solves this problem effortlessly: As soon as the preview variant of a product is sold out, it automatically switches to an available variant as the new preview and saved with the product. This ensures that your product continues to appear as available in the listing, and customers immediately see that the product can still be purchased – just in a different variant.

A key benefit: You can configure how the alternative preview variant should be selected – for example based on stock availability or the price.

This may result in greater visibility, a better user experience and higher conversions.
