A catalogue without a shop#
Not every business sells online. A catalogue lists your products with categories, pages, specifications and files, without prices, a basket or a checkout, so visitors browse and then get in touch. It comes with the Pro plan, like the shop.
Switch on Catalogue switched on under Storefront in the products area and leave the shop off. Products, categories, collections and files all work as they do in a shop.

Prices without buying#
Show prices puts prices on listings and product pages without letting anyone buy; buying needs the shop. Enquiries still carry the product, and the price filter appears only when prices are shown.
Once the shop is on, prices always show and visitors can buy.
Ask about this product#
Product page enquiries puts a panel on every product page inviting questions, with a heading and text of your choosing. Point it at an enquiry form page: a page with a contact form, and the enquiry then carries the product's details. Or give an email address, used when there is no form page. With neither, the panel does not show.
Files whose type is set to visitors ask for it are never served; visitors see that they exist and send an enquiry to ask.

Product page enquiries
A heading, some text, and a form page or an email address.

Switching the shop on later#
Switching the shop on or off changes no content: products, categories and pages stay exactly as they are. Turning the shop on adds the selling cards to the product editor and the shop pages to the menu, ready to set up.
Common questions
Can I show prices but not sell?
Yes. Switch on Show prices under Storefront and leave the shop off.
Where do product enquiries arrive?
With an enquiry form page, they arrive under Messages like any other form, carrying the product's details. With an email address, the panel opens the visitor's email app.
Do I need the Pro plan?
Yes. Products, categories, collections and files come with the Pro plan.
