How do you change "Sold out" to "Coming soon" on Shopify?

Where do you edit the "Sold out" text?

Shopify's own example of this edit is "Sold out" to "Unavailable", made in its theme content editor without changing theme code.

1. In your Shopify admin, open Online Store.
2. Click the … menu beside the theme you want to edit and select Edit default theme content.
3. Type "Sold out" into the Filter items search bar.
4. Replace the text with "Coming soon" in each matching entry you want reworded, then click Save.

What the new wording does not change

• Other languages. The editor changes the wording for your default language; other languages go through translations — the Translate & Adapt app, CSV files or a compatible third-party app.
• One product only. None of the Shopify help pages we read on October 10, 2026 describes a way to reword "Sold out" for one product only. What Shopify does document, for compatible themes, is a separate product template, created in the theme editor and assigned to an individual product, for displaying that product's page differently.
• Whether customers can order. By default, they can't buy a tracked product at zero stock. Shopify's setting for that is Continue selling when out of stock, in the Inventory section of a product or variant once Inventory tracked is on; Shopify lists stock coming soon among the reasons to select it. Displaying pre-order information takes a pre-order app; our pre-orders guide compares both routes.
