Merchandising rules can automatically remove pinned products when they sell out, keeping your collection pages fresh without manual intervention. This feature operates at two levels: per-rule and store-wide with location filtering.

​
Per-rule sell-out deletion

Each merchandising rule has a Delete Pins on Sell Out toggle. When enabled, any pinned product in that rule is automatically removed if it becomes unavailable (sold out globally). This is evaluated whenever a product’s inventory is updated. How it works:
  • When a product’s inventory reaches zero and it is no longer available for sale, its pin is deleted from the rule
  • The pin count for the rule is updated automatically
  • The rule’s cache is flushed so the change takes effect immediately on the storefront
  • If the product comes back in stock, you would need to re-pin it manually
If the store-level Auto-delete rule pins on product removal setting is enabled, pins are deleted on sell-out for all rules regardless of each rule’s individual toggle.

​
Location-based inventory filtering

For merchants with multiple fulfillment locations, the platform supports location-based sell-out checks. Instead of relying on global inventory, you can specify which Shopify locations should be considered when determining if a product is “sold out” for pin deletion purposes. This is configured in the dashboard under Settings → Search Behavior → Sell Out Check Locations. How location filtering works:
  • Select one or more Shopify locations from the multi-select picker
  • A product is considered “sold out” only when it has zero inventory at all selected locations
  • Products that are not tracked at any of the selected locations are not treated as sold out (no false positives)
  • The check runs both during bulk inventory evaluation and when individual products are updated
  • Leave the location selection empty to use global inventory (default behavior)
Use cases:
  • Regional fulfillment: Only unpin products when they sell out at your primary warehouse, even if stock remains at a secondary location
  • Retail vs. online: Track sell-out based on your online fulfillment center, ignoring retail store inventory
  • Multi-warehouse operations: Consider a product sold out only when all key warehouses are empty
Location-based sell-out filtering applies store-wide to all rules that have Delete Pins on Sell Out enabled (or when the store-level auto-delete setting is active). You cannot configure different location filters per rule.
