Use this simple panel to control how your products appear when they’re out of stock:

1. State – Assign a single state per product (e.g., Preorder, Current, Discontinued/Exiting).

2. Button Label – Type the exact Add-to-Cart text for that state (leave blank to use defaults below).

3. Policy – Choose inventory policy: Allow oversell (keep selling at 0) or Deny oversell (stop at 0).

4. Run Sync – Apply these settings to all active products.

Only products with a defined State here will be updated. Leave State blank to skip.
