Price on demand / no "add to cart" button

Hi,

just tried Hikashop Free and I am thrilled by the functions. Well done!

One Question:
I will have normal products in my shop with a price each, that should be normally added to a cart like the normal process.
BUT: in addition I have products without a price (price is "on demand"). These products should be listed and described, but cannot be added to a cart. So that the "add to cart" button must not appear at that product pages. Instead my customers should have the possibility to make a inquery/request about that product.

Is there a way to realize that with Hikashop?

Thanks for advise,
kohypon

Hi,

If you don't enter a price for a product it won't display the "add to cart" button and will instead display the text "Free". That text can be customized in the config under the tab languages. That way you could add a link to a contact form or to your user's email client.
Here is another thread about the same thing:

Thank you very much for your prompt answer!! The support here is awesome.
I will try this solution.

I have read in some other threads, that there is some kind of a new version of Hikashop on the way, which features an additional "form" or additional way of showing custom fields, that can be displayed at the product page. May this feature be also used to make such an product specific "customer inquery/request"?

Thanx,

That new version is actually out since yesterday. It is however not possible to make customer inquiry form with it. We'll look at developing such feature in the near future.

Hi,

good to hear! Looking foreward to that new feature.

I have some products with a list price published, but I would like to display the message "ask for our price".
I tried to insert a discount of 100%, which produces a 0 price, hoping that would be diplayed "free" (I can, obviously, to change the text). But the program, for the discount price, displays 0 (not the text message, like for the main price).
Are you able to suggest some solution?

Hi,

I think that you will have to make a template override in order to hide the undesired elements and display the text "ask for our price".

Here is some documentation:
