You Can Keep Bundled Products Active — But Stop Them From Selling at Certain Locations
Sometimes a bundled SKU may appear in stock at multiple locations, even when it’s not actually sellable everywhere.
For example, Test 1 could show inventory at Location 1 and Location 2, but Location 2 doesn’t have the necessary bundle boxes to complete the sale.
Instead of deactivating the SKU or removing it entirely, there’s an easy trick:
Use a High Buffer
You can pause selling at specific locations by setting a really high inventory buffer for that SKU.
What does that do?
- It tells the system to treat the SKU as out of stock at that location.
- The SKU stays active and keeps selling everywhere else.
- No need to mess with listings or deactivate the product.
How to Do It
- Find the SKU in your inventory system.
- Go to the location you want to block.
- Set a high buffer — something higher than your total stock (e.g.,
999). - Save your changes and double-check that it now shows out of stock at that location.
