Presenting Products without Prices, with links to other web sites

Hello, I have a need to set up and present products without prices but with links or information about where to go to purchase them, it would be similar to using Call For Price, but instead of clicking on Call For Price and going to the Contact page, for each individual product I need to link to a different web site... I need to be able to do this in an online store, in categories where there are other products, some would be set up regularly with prices to add to cart, some would be set up tin this way I'm describing. Is anyone else doing something similar to this? And if so, how are you setting these products up? Thanks!

Re: Presenting Products without Prices, with links to other web sites

You can use the Manufacturer and Manufacturer URL ...

Set the Store to a Show Case in the Configuration ... My Store ...

Store Status
What is your Store Status
0= Normal Store
1= Showcase no prices
2= Showcase with prices

Thanks, I looked at setting the store to a show case, the problem with doing that is I need to have both products with prices and products without, is there a way to have both?

You could manage that with product types ...

What distinguishes when you need or do not need the price showing?

Could also do this with Call for Price and just not enter prices ...

To not show the Call for Price image or text you can change that too ...

Try setting to Showcase Show Prices ...

Make a Product as Call for Price and look at it ...

Make a Product as Product Type being Product Document and try that ...

Which look do you prefer?

NOTE: As Product Document on the Product, you can customize the template for these products to be different from the other Product General Products ...

Re: Presenting Products without Prices, with links to other web sites

Just want to say thanks for your replies and help... I decided to use Document - General as the product type and handle it this way and it works just fine... For anyone reading this and looking for an example, here is the zen cart --- http://www.motherhousemarket.com/ and if you look in the Healing Hands category you will see the first two examples I set up!

thanks again!
