The settings for your Woocommerce installation will determine whether an out of stock product is displayed on the front end or not.

Go to Products

From the dashboard, select:

Products → All Products

Open the product

Find the product you’d like to update and click Edit.

Change the stock status

In the Product data panel, update the stock status to:

Out of stock

(or whichever option you’ve chosen for sold items).

Update the product

Click Update.

The product will no longer appear as available to purchase.
