Change the automated collection conditionsfor each of your collections, and add the following conditions:
- ForProducts must match, selectall conditions.
- ForInventory stock, selectis greater thanand enter0.
This procedure makes sure that your automated collections don't contain any products that are out of stock, and that those products won't appear to your customers. Any out-of-stock products will appear in your collections again after you receive inventory.
