Solution Jo_SQSP Posted September 17, 2019 Solution Share Posted September 17, 2019 Squarespace recently fixed a bug where products on disabled Products Pages could be added to the cart – previously, if you had a product on a disabled Products Page shared elsewhere on your site (in a Product Block or Summary Block, or linked directly to the URL), the product could be purchased. If you're noticing products can no longer be purchased, double-check that the Products Page is enabled (you can move it to your Not Linked Pages to keep it from appearing in your navigation. @oquay @kevinlh @booking BadlandsDesignCo, Meeeee and mariansorca 3 Link to comment
Kaeyla Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 One of my clients is running into this issue with a few of his products. Has anyone else found a solution? Link to comment
fromoutwest Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Same things was happening to me, but I resolved it: The store/shop page the products are linked to what disabled. Once I enabled that page, the products could be added to cart and purchased. mschenese 1 Link to comment
Relax_Sauna Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It happens if the Products page is disabled. mschenese 1 Link to comment
martinnethercutt Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 My products page is published and enabled. The products are public and published. The error keeps popping up when we click add to cart it says "product not available" on an unlimited inventory, published, available product on an enabled page? HELP Link to comment

What is happening here is technically when you add an item to your cart, it has not yet been taken out of stock levels. That happens when you checkout. The dialog is reporting the actual stock level. It doesn't take into account what is in your cart or others. SS and others use a first come first serve system, whoever checks out first gets the 1 item in stock. Some who comes a second later vaing for that same one item gets an error message. Now from an end user perspective I understand that it is a bit confusing. From a technical perspective I don't see a sensible way to handle items that are in people's carts that have not been removed from stock and communicate that sensibly across multiple user experiences. Imagine what would happen if a user put an item in their cart and that caused a reserve situation and then that user walked away for a week. In the meantime you have a user who has hot cash ready to spend on your product now but they get the out of stock message because another user has an item reserved. It would be madness and you lost a sure sale. Find my contributions useful? Please like, upvote, mark my answer as best , and see my profile. Thanks for your support! Link to comment
