Catalog ships ready to use. On activation the master switch is on and both the price and add-to-cart are hidden store-wide, so the moment the plugin is active your store is already a browsable catalog. Configuration is about narrowing that down, keeping the price visible, exempting a wholesale role, or adding a “Contact us for pricing” notice.

Requirements

Section titled “Requirements”
  • WordPress 6.5 or newer
  • PHP 8.1 or newer
  • WooCommerce 8.0 or newer, installed and active

If WooCommerce is not active, Catalog shows an admin notice and stays dormant, it never alters a store without WooCommerce running.

Install

Section titled “Install”
  1. Install WooCommerce and make sure it is active.
  2. Install Catalog from the plugin directory (when live on WordPress.org), or upload the catalog folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  3. Activate the plugin. With both toggles on by default, prices and add-to-cart are hidden immediately.

First configuration

Section titled “First configuration”

Open WooCommerce → Catalog in wp-admin. The screen has two cards:

  • What to hide, two checkboxes, Hide the price and Hide add-to-cart, both on by default. Untick one to keep that element visible. Below them, an optional Price notice field.
  • Who it applies to, the Visitor rule dropdown, plus a Roles checklist used by the two “selected roles” rules.

Each control carries inline help text and a small “default” pill marking its shipped value, so you can always see the zero-config starting point. The screen is saved with the Save Changes button and is available to anyone with the manage_woocommerce capability, shop managers as well as administrators.

Show prices to wholesale customers only

Section titled “Show prices to wholesale customers only”

Set the Visitor rule to Everyone except selected roles and tick the role that should still see prices and buy, for example your wholesale role. Everyone else gets the catalog; that role gets the full store. Alternatively, Only logged-out visitors shows prices to any logged-in customer.

Verify on the storefront

Section titled “Verify on the storefront”
  1. Open the Shop as a guest, the price and/or add-to-cart should be hidden per your toggles.
  2. Open a single product, confirm the price notice appears where the price was, and that the add-to-cart form is gone.
  3. Try a direct cart URL (?add-to-cart=<id>) for a catalog product, it should be rejected, because the product is non-purchasable.
  4. Log in as a role that should see prices (if you set a role rule), prices and add-to-cart should return.

Editions

Section titled “Editions”

The free edition covers the master switch, hiding price and/or add-to-cart, the four visitor rules, the price notice and non-purchasable enforcement. Catalog Pro is in development and will add scheduled catalog windows and per-role rules layered on top of these same filters.
