About YITH WooCommerce Catalog Mode

From the official readme · v2.58.0

Description

Are you interested in displaying a catalog with products or services without making them immediately available for sale?
Are you taking inventory but would like to leave products online? Or maybe your store might be temporarily closed due to holidays or prepare for a sales period and you need to temporarily suspend sales?

YITH WooCommerce Catalog Mode is the easy and quick solution to turn your online shop into a catalogue, by removing all Add to Cart buttons and any access to checkout pages.

A catalogue gives you the opportunity to leave your products online and to let your customers contact you anyway for whatever question they might have or to ask a custom quote. This increases customers’ loyalty and you do not lose visibility online.

With 60,000+ active installations, YITH WooCommerce Catalog mode is the most popular free plugin to convert a shop to an online catalog and the easiest solution: you can do that with just two clicks!

In our last update, we also improved the panel and the code to provide a better experience to all users that trust in our products.

Features of YITH WooCommerce Catalog Mode:

  • Select if an admin will see the store in catalog mode (only when set)
  • Hide “Add to Cart” button on all product pages
  • Hide “Add to Cart” button on other pages (shop, categories, tags)
  • Hide WooCommerce “Cart” and “Checkout” pages and any reference to them.
