What does it mean when my product is unavailable for sale?

When a product appears as unavailable for sale, it means it cannot yet be sold on Hotmart.

This status may be related to different situations, such as pending registration information, product settings, or other verifications required to make the product available on the platform.

If any action is required from you, you will receive an email notification, and you will also be able to view the instructions directly in the product dashboard.

In this article, you'll learn how to check these instructions and understand the most common situations that can make a product unavailable for sale.

  1. Log in to your Hotmart account.
  2. In the left-hand menu, click Products > My Products.
  3. Select the product displaying the Pending adjustments notice.
