Display product only - not sell them.

Hey All, it's my first time using ZC and my first post here...so please bear with me :)

Ok, we have a store that hires out costumes...but we also sell a handful of products, e.g. wigs, props...but mostly, we hire our products.

How can i show my products in the catelogue without a price or the other details that are attributed to the selling of products?

For e.g. I want to advertise a Batman Costume that's for hire, and i just want to display name, description, image...no shipping details or price info included - is it possible?

Much appreciated!

Re: Display product only - not sell them.

Thank you so much for the reply...much appreciated.

Just one more question, what if there were some products that i did want to sell? Can i have it set up as such? For e.g. i have a category called 'buy online' and another called 'costumes for hire'...where the first category is for purchases and the second is merely a showcase catalogue!

Also, how do i get rid of 'units in stock' that shows up for each product?

Again, your help is appreciated.

I don't know if it is possible or not. It's not something I've ever needed to do.

Products you want to sell can be added as 'Product - General' type

Products you want to showcase can be added as 'Document - General' type

The type is selected on the category page in admin, it's in a drop down box next to 'Back' 'New Category' 'New Product' buttons

Nice to see someone is thinking 'outside the box' :)
