Catalogue mode: show products without selling

Products can’t be bought: the add-to-cart buttons disappear and the cart stays empty. Prices still show. For showrooms, B2B catalogues or a shop that isn’t open yet.

Type PHP
Runs Everywhere (runs as WordPress loads)
Needs WooCommerce
Category WooCommerce
Tested with WordPress 7.1, WooCommerce 11.1

Before you switch it on: Nothing to fill in: it stays off after installing because it stops all sales. Switch it on when you mean it.

It arrives switched off, even when you install its whole pack with "Switch on after installing".

PHP

<?php

add_filter( 'woocommerce_is_purchasable', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_variation_is_purchasable', '__return_false' );

Good to know

Products already in carts can’t be ordered either. Add “Hide prices from visitors” as well if you don’t want prices shown.

Install it in one click

It's already in the Snipfire plugin's library. Enter your site's address and it opens there, ready to install. It arrives switched off, and Snipfire checks the code and test-loads your site before you switch it on.

Needs Snipfire on that site and you logged in as an administrator. Your address stays in this browser; we don't see it. Get Snipfire free

Or add it by hand

Click + New and choose PHP.
Paste the code and give it a name.
Where: Everywhere (runs as WordPress loads).
Save and switch it on.

Works in any snippet plugin, or a child theme's functions.php. Without the safety net, though.
