How to make certain products not for sale?


Recommended Posts

Hi friends,

Does anyone know if its possible to delete the "buy_block" for certain products? Most products on my site will be purchasable online, though some are too complicated to be able to purchase without contacting me first for a quote. I would like to display these products, but not make it possible to buy them.

Can I apply this rule to a few products without the change occuring to all products?

Thanks for any replies

Hi Zendik,

Thanks for the suggestion, I had already done that though. Was just wondering if there was a way of getting rid of the 'Add to cart' button for this particular product? Probably not possible right?

Somebody suggest on another topic a solution based on price.
if price = 0 then replace price by text Contact US

in order to keep free product, maybe use negativ price instead of 0.

In the template folder, in the product.tpl look for tag <!-- prices -->
You can add the test to show contact us instead of price.

The question is how your prospect have to contact us for a quote?
Specifics mail vs a order with free item.
And after that, how you process the request?
At the end the customer is supposed the order with a price in or outside the system.

Thanks for your suggestion, plouise. That looks like the right ticket.
When the customer contacts me for a quote, I will either send him a paypal invoice so he can pay online, or he can call and do it over the phone, so it will take place outside of the system.
I will see how I get on with your first suggestion, and if that doesn't work I will have to translate that enormous french thread!
Thanks again
