The purpose of the Catalog mode add-on is to advertise products.
To set up the Catalog Mode add-on:
- In the administration panel, go to Add-ons > Manage add-ons.
- Install the Catalog mode add-on (click the Install button of the Catalog Mode section).
To allow customers only view products without purchasing them:
- In the administration panel, go to Add-ons > Manage add-ons, click the gear button of the Catalog mode add-on section, and choose Settings.
- Disable the Allow purchasing products with empty Buy Now URL check box.
- Click the Save button.
NOTE: If the Allow purchasing products with empty Buy Now URL: check box is enabled, the administrator will be able to sell products.
To redirect customers to the site of some administrator's partner when a customer decides to purchase a necessary product:
- In the administration panel, go to Products > Products and click on a product name. Open the Add-ons tab.
- Enter an URL in the Buy Now URL input field in the Catalog mode section.
- Click the Save and close button.
NOTE: These products will have the Buy now button instead of the Add to cart
one. So, when customer clicks on it, he/she will be redirected to the
URL that is specified by administrator (e.g. the product detail page of
your partner store).
If the Catalog Mode add-on is enabled, the Buy Together and Gift Certificates add-ons will not be able to work correctly in the catalog mode. So they will be disabled automatically.
