WooCommerce Catalog Mode 2.0.1

WooCommerce Catalog Mode is a WordPress plugin designed to convert a WooCommerce store into a product-first catalog experience. Instead of enabling full shopping, it turns off cart and purchasing functions while keeping product browsing available. This helps when you want visitors to review details, then request information or contact you, rather than complete checkout. It’s also useful for catalog-style layouts built with themes and page builders like Elementor, where consistent product presentation matters.

After installation and activation, catalog-only mode is applied sitewide, removing “Add to Cart” from the shop and product listings. You can optionally add a custom inquiry button per product, tailored to your site’s look and feel, and control whether price tags are visible.

Main Features

• Catalog-only storefront mode — Disables shopping and cart behaviors sitewide while keeping product pages accessible.
• Add to Cart removal — Removes “Add to Cart” buttons from the shop and product listings in catalog mode.
• Product details browsing — Allows visitors to view products and their details without initiating purchases.
• Optional custom inquiry button — Adds a theme-consistent button for visitors to request information or continue to a defined link.
• Per-product button configuration — Lets you bind a common URL/link or redirect to the product detail page.
• Button display options — Supports opening links in the same window or a separate tab/window.
