addtocartmagento2out-of-stock
Magento 2.3
I have a 3rd part software I use for stock management so dont need Mangeto to manage my stock.
If I set the manage stock option to no then the add to cart button on the product page is still displayed even if the stock quantity is zero.
How can I disable the add to cart button or even hide the product when stock reaches zero.
I have set the display out of stock products option to no already but this didn't help.
Any advice greatly appreciated
Unfortunately, you are not missing a step here. Normally, people would think that the following two configuration options are enough to make it happen:
System - Configuration - Catalog - Inventory - Stock Options - Display Out of Stock Products to Yes.System - Configuration - Catalog - Inventory - Product Stock Options - Backorder to Allow Qty Below 0.You of course also have to make sure that the same settings are set in the specific product or that the product is configured to use the config settings.
Unfortunately, this is not true. So that it really works, the availability of the product has to be set to In Stock. Otherwise, Magento will not show the add to cart button and will not let you buy the product.
This alone would maybe not be a problem if you could configure Magento not to set the product to Out of Stock each time it is ordered and falls below the Qty for Item's Status to Become Out of Stock barrier. But this is not possible. For the smart guys out here: No, it is also not possible to set this setting to a quantity below 0 via the admin settings.
Possibilities:
Out of Stock by fixing the config entry in the database: UPDATE `core_config_data` SET `value` = '-9999' WHERE `path` = 'cataloginventory/item_options/min_qty';. Although this then applies to all products, not only to the ones which are configured for backorders.In Stock manually each time such an order occurs (of course only possible for very rare cases).

All that if you want is not to show the "Add to cart" button. You will be in need to remove the block responsible for adding that on details page.
Have a look at this file:
The block adding "Add to cart" is:
** Do not make change in vendor you need to override the same in your theme and remove that block.
If you do not want to remove it you can have a look at:
Again do not change in vendor override this file and you can apply condition/change as per yours need.
But with this changes will only be applicable on product view page. In order to perform customization on list view, have a look at this file:
If stock reaches "0" and if from backend you have set not to display out of stock products then ideally it should not display. You can try by reindexing:
