    Default Is it possible to "sell" some items, but only "showcase" others?

    Is it possible to have a shop but only sell certain items and the rest just act as a showcase ?

    I have some products I want to sell but others because of stock restrictions I couldn't guarantee them

    So you enter those products you wish to sell, with prices, description etc
    and the others, you enter as Contact Us

    Why dont you just do this:
    Set the items you dont want to sell online to 0 in stock, then you have to make a new Sold Out button, use the word Contact Us for example.
    I no longer provide installation support on forum for all my modules. However, if there are real bugs with the modules please feel free to contact me

    What misty is saying is to simply check the box that says "Product is Call-For-Price" in the admin when editing the product settings.



    Your other option would be to create the products as Document-General type instead of Product-General ... since Document-General items are not purchasable ... and no add-to-cart options will be given.

    Thanks,

    Now that seems to be the best option, so I could make the products I want to sell on-line as Product general and the products I don't just set them as Document general

    Now all my products are Product general is there a way of transferring them to Document general

    Glad you had posed this question as I was trying to figure out how to do it myself.

    I looked to see if there was any way to change the categories for all the products but ended up resorting to just redoing all the products, but now they aren't getting sold! So I am set.

    Thanks for the Post!
