Automatically Hide Sold Items in 7.1 (vs. marked "unavailable"

Site URL: https://jscg50-cms.squarespace.com

My 7.1 Commerce site sells mostly 1-off art pieces. Once an item has sold, I want it to be removed from public view. I do not want to show a tag of "unavailable" under an item or have a pop-up note that the item is not available for sale; I do not want to monitor the site to see what needs to be hidden manually. I'd like this to be automated. I know there is value to showing past items, which seems to be SS's default justification when asked why this feature isn't a toggle on/ toggle off option, but this is a detrimental default for my store. These items do sell out quickly and it annoys our customers when we are essentially offering something they can't have. 

Can anyone please help with a code for this or with a suggestion on where I can find a resolution for this problem? Thank you!

Site is jscg50-cms.squarespace.com. Password is: jscg50

To see an example: Online Shop > Vases > Shop Vases ... view "All" ... 1st item is marked unavailable, but I would like this to simply disappear from view once it's been purchased.

There isn't a built in feature for this, but I produced some code that will do this automatically for you. You'll find it in this guide: Hide sold products on a Squarespace 7.1 website.

Is there a way to do this on 7.0? I tried your code and it doesn't work, as expected. 

The guide is for any site built on Squarespace 7.1.

I haven't written a solution for any of the 7.0 template families (they are all different) but it should be possible.

Want the summary block to still show the product, but remove the "sold out" marker.

Please post the URL for a page on your site where we can see your issue.

A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

Please set up a site-wide password, if your site is not public and you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site.

Please read the site-wide password and how to share a link documentation to understand how they work.

We can then take a look at your issue.
