Pricing Catalog

Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active for the plugin to work. After activation, Catalog adds a settings screen under WooCommerce → Catalog. Without active WooCommerce it shows an admin notice and does not run catalog mode.

Yes. Set the visitor rule to "Everyone except selected roles" and tick the roles that should still see prices and buy, such as a wholesale role. Alternatively choose "Only logged-out visitors" so any signed-in customer sees prices. The role rule applies store-wide.

In the free version catalog mode applies store-wide; you can narrow it by visitor role rule, not by picking individual products or categories.

The free version exposes the catalog/add_to_cart_replacement filter so a developer can render a custom button or form where add-to-cart is hidden. A ready-made request-a-quote form is added by Catalog Pro.

Yes. When add-to-cart is hidden, catalog products are marked non-purchasable through a WooCommerce filter. A guessed "?add-to-cart=" URL and Store API or REST requests therefore cannot push a hidden product into the cart or checkout. The protection runs server-side, not only in the display layer.

Yes. The settings screen uses standard WordPress admin styles, supports dark mode and describes every option with help text. Options are grouped into "What to hide" and "Who it applies to" sections. Anyone with the manage_woocommerce capability, including a shop manager, can save the settings.

Yes. Every plugin, free and PRO, is licensed under the GPL. You are free to use, modify and self-host the code on your own sites, and a PRO purchase does not restrict those GPL freedoms. A PRO licence adds automatic updates and product support, not different rights to the code.

Yes. The free edition is a complete product on WordPress.org, not a time-limited trial, so you can run it indefinitely. It covers the core use case in full, and you upgrade to PRO only when your store needs the advanced features. There is no account or card required to use the free edition.

Each plan covers a set number of sites: a single site, five sites, or unlimited sites. The licence is tied to your account and determines how many sites receive automatic updates and support. If your store grows beyond your plan, you can upgrade to a larger site count at any time.

Yes. PRO purchases include a 30-day money-back guarantee unless a product page states otherwise. If the plugin is not the right fit, request a refund within 30 days through Freemius support or [email protected]. Refunds are returned to your original payment method.

Checkout is handled by Freemius, our Merchant of Record. Freemius processes the payment, applies the correct VAT for your country, issues the invoice, and manages renewals. If you have a valid EU VAT ID, you can enter it at checkout to apply the reverse-charge exemption.

PRO licences are annual and renew automatically while auto-renewal is enabled, so your updates and support continue without interruption. You can cancel future renewals at any time from your Freemius account before the renewal date. Cancelling stops future charges while your current term stays active until it ends.

An active PRO licence includes email support for installation, configuration and defects in our own plugins, on a best-effort basis with no guaranteed response time. Support does not cover custom development, theme customisation, or conflicts caused by third-party plugins. For the free edition, community help is available through WordPress.org and GitHub.

Yes. We recommend installing and fully testing any plugin on a local copy or a staging environment identical to production, with a current backup, before activating it on a live store. This lets you confirm compatibility with your theme and other plugins without risking your production site. Installing directly on production is at your own risk.
