Here is a little context to explain why I’m asking this. I believe it can be helpful for other shop owners with a similar flow. It might also help you decide whether to implement such a feature in the upcoming version.
I sell keyboards, and I have LOTS of components (cables, caps, keys, switches, etc.) that I use to make variations for my products, but I have a limited number of boards. So, I manage my stock not on the variations level but on the product level. Therefore, I need to show my customers that the product is out of stock right after they land on the product page, without allowing them to switch between variations because it doesn’t make sense as the product is out of stock completely, regardless of the variation.
Here are the examples for better understanding:
Variable product in stock: https://splitted.space/keyboards/split-klaviatura-cleo
Variable product out of stock: https://splitted.space/keyboards/cleo-white
These products have the same number of variations and settings, but the second is out of stock on the product level. As you can see, the waitlist box is displayed, but the variations are not. I achieved this with another plugin for waitlists, but I will not post a link to it here as I think it’s not appropriate.
