I am creating a Digital product programmatically which should not be displayed in collection or any other places in website apart from direct link. Since these products will be created by public app I will not be able to customise the store.
Is there a possibility to hide the product in catalogue and product recommendation?
This can currently only be done by editing the theme code.
Tobi has mentioned on X that an ”unlisted” product status is coming, but no mention of when. This will resolve this long standing issue.
Hey folks 
- Luke’s on point with this. The “unlisted” product status is coming up in the near future. Still don’t have a concrete timeline, but we have a thread here with a tiny bit more info if you’d like to follow along:
Thanks @Alan_G for the thread. Home we get it in 2025 
Use seo.hidden - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/promoting-marketing/seo/hide-a-page-from-search-engines#custom-metafield
You should be able to send this as an unstructured metafield when creating product.
This doesn’t solve the OPs issue, it just prevents it from being indexed.
Hey @Luke and all - good catch! We’re rolling out the new “unlisted” product status today. Feel free to ping me here if I can help out or answer any questions on this
Hey @Alan_G, is there plans for a changelog update and documentation on shopify.dev?
