03/11/2020, 5:22 PMOur products are being shown as out of stock in Google search results because they are assemblies, built to order. They will show in stock when we show an assembly built in the 3pl location which is set to "MAKE INVENTORY AVAILABLE IN WEB STORE" - however our finance team does not like showing phony inventory - what is the best solution here?

03/11/2020, 5:32 PMOn that template you have the isInStock conditional statment, this pice of code is the one that tells google if an item is in or out of stock, you should change the isInStock logic to show what ever you need

If your sandbox is not publicly available, you can just copy and paste the html of your page.
