How to Hide a Product from the Store Page in Squarespace 7.1
In Squarespace 7.1, you can hide a product from your Store page without deleting it or turning off checkout. The platform uses Visibility settings to control whether a product appears in product grids, categories, and Store pages, while still allowing direct access when needed. This is especially useful for private products, client-only purchases, custom services, or scheduled launches.
Recommended Method: Visibility → Hidden
Use this option when you want the product hidden from the Store page but still accessible via a direct link.
Steps
Go to Products & Services → Products
Open the product you want to hide
Locate Visibility
Select Hidden
Save
Result
The product does not appear on the Store page or product grids
The product page is accessible via its direct URL
The product remains purchasable
Other Visibility Options
Public
Product is visible on the Store page
Product is purchasable
Schedule
Product stays hidden until the scheduled publish date
Product automatically becomes Public at the selected time
Method 2: Hide Products Using Custom CSS (Quick Manual Method)
When you need to hide specific products visually without setting up filters, CSS works great.
How to Do It:
Add the CSS Code
Paste the following into Pages → Custom code → Custom CSS
/**** Hide Specific Product from Store Page ****/
/* Place the product number of the product you want to hide inside nth-child().*/
.product-list .product-list-item:nth-child(2) {
display: none !important;
}✔ The product is hidden from the store page
✔ The product URL remains functional and can be shared or promoted
Best Use Cases

Influencer-only product pages
Seasonal or limited-time hidden products

Final Thoughts
Squarespace does not natively have a "hide product" button; however, there are some good workarounds! For the vast majority of us, category blocking is a clean and future-proof proposition. For one-off case scenarios, the custom CSS is quick and easy.
