It would be useful to be able to block a product variant from being sold at the POS or from the online channel in the case of a product recall or other issue with the product. It seems we are currently only able to block at the product level, which includes all variants. In the meantime, a work around for this is to exclude the product variant from the store's assortment.

In previous projects, there was a requirement for a product to remain in the assortment and discoverable on e-Commerce but for it to be non-orderable. This applied at both a product master and at the variant level.For example: A current product master and all variants are in stock and available for sale but a new variant is created and stocked but it's not yet available for purchase, likely because of a restriction set from the OEM.

Thank you for the product suggestion! We will continue to monitor this idea and the votes to determine if it will be given a position in our backlog.
Additionally, as a possible workaround, we would recommend you to update the assortments definition which allow you to exclude items at a product variant level. This will remove the product variant from being discovered on a product details page as well as not allow customers to "add to cart" from order history as well.
