Stock-Based Channel Visibility
Automatically control product visibility and orderability per sales channel based on configurable stock thresholds — in real time, without manual intervention.
The description shows what such a plugin can do. We tailor the scope to your shop after a short needs analysis and usually deliver within a few days.
In short
- Prevent overselling by automatically blocking orders the moment stock falls below your defined threshold on any channel
- Protect brand perception by hiding out-of-stock or near-empty products from specific sales channels in real time
- Save hours of manual catalog management every week by replacing ad-hoc product edits with automated threshold rules
Why this extension
Without the plugin
Managing product availability across multiple sales channels in Shopware 6 is rarely straightforward. When stock runs low, you may need a product hidden entirely from one channel while simply blocking new orders in another — and native Shopware functionality does not cover this scenario out of the box. Dynamic product groups offer a partial workaround, but products remain reachable via direct links, leaving gaps that can frustrate customers and erode trust.
With the plugin
StockChannelGuard closes that gap. This Shopware 6 extension lets you define per-channel stock threshold rules that trigger automatically whenever inventory levels change. Drop below your configured limit and the plugin immediately adjusts product visibility or orderability for the affected channel — no manual intervention, no scheduled batch jobs, no external scripts required.
How it would work
- Define Your Threshold Rules
Open the StockChannelGuard configuration panel inside the Shopware 6 administration. Select a sales channel, choose a product or category scope, set your stock threshold value, and pick an action — either hide the product from the channel or disable ordering while keeping it visible.
- Rules Activate Automatically
The plugin listens to Shopware's native stock-change events. The moment a stock update is recorded — whether from an order, a manual adjustment, or an import — StockChannelGuard evaluates all matching rules and applies the configured action immediately, without any cron dependency.
- Inventory Restocked — Rules Reverse Automatically
When stock rises back above the defined threshold (for example, after a goods receipt is posted), the plugin automatically restores the product's original visibility and orderability on the affected channel. No manual re-activation is needed.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a ready plugin I can buy?
No – it is a concept. We build it for your shop after a short needs analysis. Prices start at €100 and you get a fixed quote before we start.
How is this different from using dynamic product groups?
Dynamic product groups filter which products appear in listings, but products remain accessible via their direct URLs. StockChannelGuard enforces visibility and orderability at the channel level, so a hidden product cannot be accessed or ordered through that channel regardless of how a customer navigates to it.
Can I set different thresholds for different sales channels?
Yes. Rules are defined per sales channel, so you can configure a threshold of 5 units on one channel and a threshold of 2 units on another, each with a different action (hide vs. block orders). There is no limit on the number of rules you can create.
Does the plugin work with product variants?
Yes. Rules can be applied at the variant level, meaning a specific size or color variant can be hidden or blocked independently of other variants in the same product group.
Can the plugin handle high-frequency stock updates without performance issues?
StockChannelGuard is built on Shopware's event system and processes rules asynchronously using the message queue where appropriate, keeping the impact on storefront response times minimal even during periods of high order volume.
Which Shopware versions are supported?
We build it for the version your shop runs: 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7. Updates for new Shopware versions are included as long as we stay in active contact.
How long does it take?
Usually 5–10 business days after the needs analysis, depending on the agreed scope.
