Non-shopping cart? Is it possible?

[cindygordon]

Is there any way to use a zen art WITHOUT listing prices? I'd like to essentially have the exact same layout as a shopping cart, but no one will use it to purchase. It's only to showcase products. So no cart, no "add to cart" no pricing, no checkout. Just descriptions and photos, etc.

Yes it is possible.

Go to your admin -> configuration -> My store -> store Status , and set it to the required value. In your case 1.

Be sure to test your chosen template carefully to be sure there are no elements that don't check this setting. Some templates will put a checkout link in the header without referencing that flag, for example.

That’s wonderful news, and great advice thank you both so much!! I will report back!

Thank you so much, that's EXACTLY what I was looking for! Love that you can "showcase" with a "contact us" link as well.
Love this forum!

One follow up question - is there a way to leave the cart up, but NOT allow checkout? I would like folks to be able to add products and determine their shipping cost, but not actually check out until "order period is open", when I manually change it to allow ordering.
