Product Status
When creating or editing a product, you'll find Status Options near the top of the product page:
Draft
Active
These determine whether the product is sellable, regardless of which sales channels are selected under Available On.
Draft Status
The product cannot be sold on any sales channel, even if Online Store, POS, or Wine Club are selected.
Use draft to:
Pre-build products before launch.
Set up new releases in advance.
Prepare seasonal SKUs (e.g., holiday specials) without making them live.
Products remain hidden from customers until marked Active.
Active Status
Once changed to Active, the product:
Becomes visible and sellable on selected channels.
Appears in Online Store, POS, and/or Wine Club as per channel settings.
Showing a wine without selling it
Product status controls visibility and purchasing together: an Active product is visible and available to purchase, and a Draft product is hidden. There is no built-in setting that lets a wine appear on your site while blocking checkout — the standard product display is tied to purchasable products.
If you want to showcase wines that customers can't buy online (for example a "Library," "Our Wines," or allocation-only page), the workaround is to build a separate static page in the website editor that lists the wines without using the product/purchase widget. That page is maintained manually. Your team can create and maintain it directly in the website editor, or Corksy's website team can review the request and provide a quote.
Use Cases
✅ Coming Soon Products: Build products early and keep in draft until launch day.
✅ Seasonal or Limited Releases: Keep rare SKUs in draft during off-season and activate when needed.
✅ Quality Control: Use draft mode to confirm details before going live.
