Overview

What this extension does

Hide Products from List Without Affecting SEO gives OpenCart store owners better control over product visibility without disabling or deleting products.

The extension hides selected or unavailable products from normal storefront listings while keeping the actual product page active and accessible through its direct URL.

This is especially useful when you want to clean up your storefront without unnecessarily removing existing product URLs from your website.

The problem

Why this matters

OpenCart normally treats an enabled product as a product that should appear throughout the storefront.

If a product is temporarily unavailable, used only as a component, or should no longer appear in normal listings, store owners often disable it completely.

Disabling or deleting the product can also make its existing URL unavailable.
