 * Not a technical support question but rather a question about using WooCommerce
   in a different way:
 * My company has several products we want to show on our new website. We don’t 
   take orders or show pricing online. Everything is call/email for a quote. But
   we need an easy way to maintain, categorize, and most importantly to compare 
   products. I’m looking at the WooCommerce Compare plugin from a3rev for this feature,
   but it needs WooCommerce.
 * How easy is it to “shut off” the online transaction features of WooCommerce and
   just use it for displaying product information?
 * (We may decide to offer products for online ordering in the future, so having
   an e-commerce back-end could really help.)

 * Don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but I’ve just removed the Add 
   to Cart function.
 * Insert this into child themes functions.php
 *     ```
       // Remove Add to cart
       function remove_loop_button(){
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart', 10 );
       remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 30 );
       }
       add_action('init','remove_loop_button');
       ```

 * The following extension for WooCommerce will allow you to put your site in Catalog
   Mode… [http://www.woothemes.com/products/catalog-visibility-options/](http://www.woothemes.com/products/catalog-visibility-options/)
 * People will be able to see your products but not purchase them. It turns off 
   the eCommerce functionality.
