remove add to cart for specific products

[TheGunStoreGuy]

I have some products that cannot be paid for over the internet and must be done in person but i want to advertise that i have them and the quantities.

Is there a way to remove the add to cart button for specific products?

You could make those Products as Document Products rather than Product General and edit the setting in the Catalog ... Product Types ... and uncheck the box for Add to Cart ...

Make them "Call for Price" products.. Meaning select the "Call for Price" option in when editing products..

I originally used a css file per product to hide the Add to cart button...then later changed that to a bit of code in the product page that reads a new database field in the products table to hide the button/price. The field is set in the admin edit product page.

and just because I'm curious.. I've always used the "Call for Price" option to manage products that should be seen but not purchased in the store. Why did you opt for the two options you used?? Inquiring because I want to understand if there is a better way that I should have used..

Does that not just put "Call for Price" on the product?
I don't want them to call for price, or call at all!!

In my case the "product" is usually a generic description of a large group of similar products including how to select the right one etc. so I want price, add to cart, attribute, stock etc. all hidden as it not a real product at all.
I long ago re-did all the css around the Add to Cart button to get more control and thought the easiest way to hide the price block was using a p_xx.css file with a display:none.
Then when I had a few of these p_xx.css lying around I thought it would be neater/less messy to just have the option to display price or not as an admin option per product so added the extra db field and the form code in the product admin and "if" code around the price button block in the product info template to not create the price button items at all, so no css needed.

Kinda seems like the same thing as making a product a document type, though at that point don't have the flexibility of per product choices from the admin as offered above.

If you are referring to the text that appears on the button and text link of a product flagged "Call for Price", then yes it puts "Call for Price" on the product. However, that "Call for Price" button and text link can be changed to have any text on it you would like.. What marking a product "Call for Price" does functionally however is to remove all the "Add to Cart" elements that allows one to purchase the product while still displaying the amount in stock if you allow the in stock quantities to display on your product info pages. The "Call for Price" text link and buttons link to the Contact Us page.. I suggested it since this sounded like the result the OP says he was after.
