If the stock quantity of a product is "0", the customer can't add the product in their cart. It has globally the same effect. If you want that the vendor automatically have "no stock" products, you can use a specific "product template" for the vendor and configure this template with a "stock quantity" set to "0". At this moment, when the vendor will create a product in your store, the stock quantity will be set to "0" and the customer won't be able to add the products in their cart.

However, the product page now shows the text "No stock." Is there any way to (1) Get rid of the "No stock" text altogether and leave that space blank or (2) Customize the text to say something else?

You can override the view which display this "No stock" (product | quantity) and change the html code display where there is no stock. It starts with: Code: <div class="hikashop_product_no_stock"> <?php echo JText::_('NO_STOCK').'<br/>'; Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

I am very new at this and want to make sure I’m in the right place so I don’t mess things up! ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)") So, to change out the text “No stock” I went to: Hikashop > System > Configuration >Display > CSS In “Front-end CSS file” I clicked the edit button. The only code I found containing “out of stock” is as follows: Code: .hikashop_product_variant_out_of_stock{   display:none; } .hikashop_product_variant_out_of_stock_span{   background-image:url(../images/delete2.png);   background-repeat:no-repeat;   background-position: center;   height: 16px;   display: block; } Since this did not match the code you sent me I’m not sure if this is where I’m supposed to change it?

The views are the content displayed by HikaShop/HikaMarket that you can customize how you want and create your complete own design. You have to find the view "frontend | your_frontend_template | product | quantity". Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
