Although Cowlendar requires a Shopify product to create any service, you can easily hide that product from your store while keeping everything fully functional.
This is a great workaround if you want to:
Use Cowlendar services without displaying products in your storefront
Keep your bookings paid through Shopify checkout
Continue using all Cowlendar integrations (payments, notifications, subscriptions, etc.)

Step-by-Step: Hide the Shopify Product While Using Cowlendar
1. Create Your Service Normally in Cowlendar
From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.
Open Cowlendar.
Go to My Services.
Click Create Service (or edit an existing one).
Associate the service with a Shopify product (this step is mandatory).
Save your service.
At this point, your service is correctly linked to Shopify.
2. Hide the Shopify Product from Your Store
Now we’ll prevent that Shopify product from appearing publicly:
In your Shopify admin, go to Products.
Open the product you linked to your Cowlendar service.
Find the Status section.
Change the status to Unlisted.
Save.
What Does “Unlisted” Mean?
Using Shopify’s Unlisted status:
The product will NOT appear in your online store.
The product cannot be searched or browsed by customers.
The product remains fully active in the background.
Most importantly:
Cowlendar will still be able to:
Add the product to cart after booking
Process payments normally
Trigger notifications
Support subscriptions and integrations
So your booking flow continues to work exactly the same.
