Can I disable cart/checkout for a catalog-only store?

Yes—some stores use Shopify as a catalog and take orders through enquiries, quotes, or wholesale workflows.

Common approaches

• Hide add-to-cart and show a Contact / Request a quote button.
• Keep product pages visible but remove purchase UI.
• Use a gated approach (customers must log in to see prices).

Important considerations

• Shopify is built for commerce, so you should ensure:
  • Navigation still makes sense without cart
  • Pricing visibility aligns with your business model
  • You still capture intent (enquiry forms, lead capture)

Implementation guidance

Prefer theme settings or blocks when available. If code changes are required, keep them isolated and documented so updates are easier.
