Discontinued Products for WooCommerce has a few actions and filters for developers who need to react to its status changes or adjust what it hides. This article is for developers; if you’re not comfortable adding PHP to your site, ask your developer. For setup and settings, see Get started with Discontinued Products.
Discontinued products use the stock status discontinued, so $product->get_stock_status() === 'discontinued' tells you whether a product or variation is discontinued.
