hi there,

 

i wonder if someone can help with how to display a "coming soon" status, instead of "1 remaining" or "sold out"

perhaps it can be triggered if you add a certain tag to a specific product / products?

 

on the displaying all products page:

- it should display "coming soon", and the price should be hidden (or option to turn on/off?)

- on the specific product page.... it should also say "coming soon", and the button at the bottom should not add to cart.

 

attached a couple of ref images too.

url is www.betweentwonaps.com/shop

 

any ideas how to do this / can it be done?

 

thanks for the help!

See the guide that I wrote here: Adding a custom status badge to Squarespace Products.

hi paul, thanks so much! i just tried it just this second... on my shop page i have one that now says coming soon using your method. amazing.

 

i wonder if you might be able to tell me 2 more quick things please?

- how would you add other labels.... e.g. if another one was "coming autumn" or "in production" can  i just add extra lines like below?

- does the text have to be in all caps? how can we make it regular text?

thanks so much -

if anyone can help love to know:

 

- how you can add more labels.... got it working for one, but love to add more like "coming soon 2021" coming summer 2022" etc.

not sure how to further add labels to the code shown above.

 

- then there is formatting... how do we make it so it does not always have to be all caps (Seems to make it that way on the main shop page. ref image attached)

 

- and how do we avoid it starting each word with a capital letter on the product specific page? .. just want it to show exactly as i type. (see second ref image below where words auto capitalising, but don't want it this way.. just regular sentence case)

 

thank you!

You'll need a custom solution. This has been written to add one custom label.

To prevent all SOLD OUT and custom labels being capitalised, you can add the following to Design > Custom CSS:

.products.collection-content-wrapper .product-mark {
  text-transform: none;
}

You can repeat all the code if you want more than one type of label to be created. 

Im on 7.1, I tried coping al the code, but it just shows two of the same tag on one product instead of two different tags on different products. 

Any suggestions? Thanks 🙂

Hello Paul and friends,  I am trying to add the same detail, adding 'coming soon' and to remove 'product pricing' to a product both in the shop area..

And also to the individual product listings page within the store. 

Could you advise what coding is needed for 7.1 and where to place the coding for this. What location ? 

I have tried following your step by step guide here but hit a wall.

Request to have a specific colour text too. 

Could you advise what points to follow if any part of 7.0 or directly go to straight to  7.1 for the above request. Thank you,

I think you can add a tag: coming-soon for these products, then share link to a product, we can check & give the code easier

Hi there,

I'm on 7.1. I'd like to create a new category of *new* products (not ones that are sold out) called 'Coming soon' where each label on the shop page + individual product page says Coming soon (not sold out).

I'd then like the button to be a waitlist, which says 'Join the waitlist' instead of Add to cart.

I have items that are sold out, which I want to keep on the site, so I can't just do the blanket solution of the waitlist on all products with 0 items.

I think what I want is here, but this solution seems to be for 7.0 only: https://sf.digital/squarespace-solutions/squarespace-products-changing-sold-out-to-sold-or-something-else

My objective is to build interest around a product before I launch it. My products have very limited availability. 

The website is dotandmila.com

Thanks so much!

Alice

Can you add tag: coming-soon for some products? Then we will try some code to add coming soon text + replace add to cart with join the waitlist text

Hello, 

I was able to use the coding from the below forum to add a "coming soon" tag, but it still shows the "sold out" on both the product page and the shop pages? Can anyone help remove the "sold out" text, so it only says coming soon? Thank you!
