I have two products that I don't want to display in the catalog. They are my membership products and are not going to be accessed through the catalog. Is there a trick for hiding or not displaying certain products in the catalog?
How to hide a product from the catalog?

Have taken off the catalog on this end and replaced it with some additional classes patterned after 'products' so I can not test. But as a guess, just unpublish the item until needed under 'publishing options' at the bottom of the page for that product listing.

Well, my trouble with that is I still need to make it available for purchase. I just don't want it to appear as a catalog item. It's a membership plan product so it will be represented on a different area of the site.
I'm pretty sure you can still purchase items that aren't published yet. That's why I had to make a snippet that allows you to specify (with a CCK field) whether or not an item can even be added to the cart.
I tested the unpublish the node idea. It removes it from the catalog but you also can't get to it by any other means unless you are an admin.
Any other ideas?
You can just not choose a Catalog term for them to be in on the edit page. The Catalog only displays products that have terms in the Catalog vocabulary. If the product is promoted to the front page, it'll show up on the node/ page and it'll have it's own menu path.
But, the Catalog term field shows as required when you got to Create/Edit a product. I wish it were that simple.
I don't think a term is required by default, but if it's set up that way on your site you can change it to "not required" on the page admin/content/taxonomy under the Catalog vocab. There's also a page at admin/store/products/orphans which will display any uncategorized Products - that's an easy way to find things you forgot to put in a category, or deliberately left out of your catalog.
