Re: How do I change the "out of stock" message to "sold out"?
this is where the hidden but available for sale status comes in. As the product is hidden, it doesn't appear in the listings as a customer browses or searches, but if they come in from a link, just as an external referrer, or a search engine etc, it shows the product, and shows it out of stock, which you could rename as discontinued. By educating the customer you help them make an alternative choice, preferably from your store instead of thinking you just don't stock it and moving on to another site.
Also, by deleting products you are destroying your order history as the product data will not be in those old orders.
