Hi

On the website we are currently using Hikashop Business and only in Catalog mode.

I know it is set globally in General setup to use it as Catalog mode,

but is it possible to set it to use it as the Shop with a Cart and payment processor per product or even category?

Example; for holiday's it might come in handy to be able to sell certain products directly where in general we prefer to display just the product catalog.

Looking forward for an answer to this. :whistle:

Hi,

There is no option to do that by default, but it's possible with a small modification and some setup.
So first, you would need to create a new custom field of the table "product" and of the type "dropdown" with two values "yes" and "no" and the column name "canpurchase".
Then, in each product you want to configure that option in the backend and save the product so that the selection is taken into account.
Finally, you want to deactivate the catalogue mode and edit the file "quantity" of the view "product" via the menu Display&gt;Views and change the code:
$this-&gt;params-&gt;get('catalogue')
by:
($this-&gt;row-&gt;canpurchase=="yes")

There are a lot of ways you could accomplish this. However, I don't think you can configure HikaShop in Catalog mode and then selectively turn on the shopping features for certain products. Instead, you should set up your shop as a online store, and then selectively turn off the Add to Cart option for the items you don't want to sell online.
