Default pre-selected value in filter widget

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We appreciate your detailed explanation. At the moment, the XStore “Filter by Availability” widget does not support setting a default filter option such as “In Stock” while still allowing users to manually deselect it to view out-of-stock items. The widget is designed to reflect user-selected filters rather than applying a default state automatically.

However, we understand how this functionality could be beneficial for your store’s user experience. We recommend considering a custom development approach to achieve this behavior. Alternatively, you may explore third-party filtering plugins that offer more advanced default filter settings.

Also, please read this article – https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/support/how-to-submit-a-request-for-adding-a-new-setting-or-functionality/

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
