Does it require WooCommerce?
Section titled “Does it require WooCommerce?”Yes. WooCommerce 8.0 or newer must be installed and active. If it isn’t, Catalog shows an admin notice and stays dormant, it never touches a store without WooCommerce running.
Can I show prices only to logged-in or wholesale customers?
Section titled “Can I show prices only to logged-in or wholesale customers?”Yes. Set the Visitor rule to Everyone except selected roles and tick the roles that should still see prices and buy (e.g. your wholesale role). Or use Only logged-out visitors to show prices to any logged-in customer.
Can I apply catalog mode to only some products or categories?
Section titled “Can I apply catalog mode to only some products or categories?”Not from the settings screen, the free edition’s catalog mode is store-wide, narrowed only by visitor role. For per-product or per-category exceptions, use the catalog/applies, catalog/hide_price or catalog/hide_add_to_cart filters in code; each receives the product so you can decide per item. See Developer reference.
Can I replace add-to-cart with a contact or quote button?
Section titled “Can I replace add-to-cart with a contact or quote button?”There is no button setting on the screen, but the catalog/add_to_cart_replacement filter lets you return HTML, for example a “Request a quote” link, that appears wherever add-to-cart is hidden, on both listings and single product pages. A worked example is in the Developer reference.
Does it stop people buying via a direct URL?
Section titled “Does it stop people buying via a direct URL?”Yes. When Hide add-to-cart is on, catalog products are marked non-purchasable (via woocommerce_is_purchasable), so a guessed ?add-to-cart= URL or a Store API request is rejected, not just the visible button removed.
Can I hide just the price but still let people buy?
Section titled “Can I hide just the price but still let people buy?”Yes. Turn Hide the price on and Hide add-to-cart off. Because add-to-cart isn’t hidden, the product stays purchasable.
What does the price notice do?
Section titled “What does the price notice do?”It shows your text where the price would be when the price is hidden, for example “Contact us for pricing”. On the storefront it renders as a small brass placard. It’s plain text (sanitised on save), and only appears when Hide the price is on. Leave it blank to show nothing.
Does catalog mode hide products from shop archives?
Section titled “Does catalog mode hide products from shop archives?”No. Products stay visible in listings; Catalog controls price visibility and purchasability, not whether a product appears. Price hiding applies wherever WooCommerce prints a price; add-to-cart is removed on the single product page and in shop/category/related loops.
Who can change the settings?
Section titled “Who can change the settings?”Anyone with the manage_woocommerce capability, shop managers as well as administrators. The save capability is aligned with the menu, so a shop manager without manage_options can still save the screen.
Where is my configuration stored, and what happens on uninstall?
Section titled “Where is my configuration stored, and what happens on uninstall?”Everything lives in the single catalog_settings option in your own database (plus a catalog_db_version marker); Catalog contacts no external service and creates no custom tables. Deleting the plugin removes both options.
Is it compatible with HPOS and the Cart/Checkout Blocks?
Section titled “Is it compatible with HPOS and the Cart/Checkout Blocks?”Yes. Catalog declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage and the Cart/Checkout Blocks.
