WooCommerce Discontinued Products 1.2.5

Overview

WooCommerce Discontinued Products by Barn2 Media is a powerful and user-friendly plugin designed to help WooCommerce store owners manage products that are no longer available for sale without removing them from their online store. This tool allows you to mark products or individual variations as “discontinued,” preserving their SEO value and maintaining your store’s search engine rankings. Unlike simply deleting or hiding products, this plugin ensures that your discontinued items remain visible to search engines and customers, keeping their informational pages alive while clearly communicating their status.
