English term or phrase: There are no products in this shop
This is a message to be shown to a visitor in the web shop if there are no products in this shop.

Though the message is quite simple it seems to me there is something wrong with it.

Can someone confirm it's ok or suggest an improvement?

Thank you in advance!

P.S Another versions of which I am thinking now is "No products available" or "No products in stock".

Selected answer:This product is not available / is not (currently) in stock
Explanation:
If you're referring to a particular product (when the customer tries to add it to his cart or go to checkout), then this is the standard phrase.

Alexander, then I'd suggest a simple "No products currently available." 'In this shop/store' is redundant, as the customer already knows where they are.

Based on your extra information above, I'd suggest "No products available at this moment".
You can also add "Please check back again later".
