Related: "Allow multiple stores (select different products for each store)" was completed with per-store include/exclude in each store's Products tab. That helped, but new products still default into every store, which doesn't scale for accounts with many stores.
Current behavior
Any product with "Include in Online Store" enabled is automatically listed in ALL stores in the sub-account, and every new store inherits all enabled products. The toggle must be on before a product can be assigned to any store, so there's no way to avoid the "all stores" default. To remove a product from a store, we have to open each store's Products tab and exclude it manually.
The problem
We manage many stores in a single sub-account, and each store should only carry a specific subset of products. Every time we create products, we have to go into each store and exclude the ones that don't belong. This is extremely time-consuming at scale and risks products showing up in the wrong storefront.
HighLevel Support (ticket #6514261) confirmed there is currently no native option to select stores while creating a product, default new products to excluded, or apply one bulk include/exclude action across multiple stores.
Requested improvements (any of these would solve it)
  1. Store selector on the product page / creation flow, to choose which stores the product appears in instead of a single on/off toggle.
  2. A setting to exclude new products from stores by default, so they must be added deliberately.
  3. Cross-store bulk actions, e.g. include or exclude a selected set (or a collection) of products across multiple chosen stores in one step.
  4. Control over what new stores inherit, such as starting empty or copying product selection from an existing store.
Who this affects
Agencies and operators, multi-location businesses, and any account with many stores sharing one product catalog.
