Guide: Product Visibility
01
Create Product
Start with the product already filled out, then make sure both the Online and Searchable flags are set so the product can appear on the storefront.
- •Online controls whether the product can be accessed on the storefront.
- •Searchable controls whether the product can appear in search results and category grids.
02
Assign Category
Assign the product to at least one storefront category. Use Assign Category to choose an existing category or add a newly created category to the product.
03
Reindex Search
After changing visibility settings or category assignments, run a search reindex so the storefront search and category pages can pick up the latest product data.
04
Verify Storefront
Open the product on the storefront and confirm it is visible in the expected category path.
Security Note
A product usually needs all three pieces to be visible: Online = Yes, Searchable = Yes, and at least one assigned storefront category.
