YITH Catalog Mode Premium lets you disable the purchasing functionality of your WooCommerce store and turn it into a read-only product catalog. You can hide prices, remove the add-to-cart button, and disable checkout globally or for specific products and categories. This is useful for B2B stores that show products without prices, businesses in the quotation phase, or seasonal stores that display products outside of sales periods. The plugin supports per-product, per-category, and role-based catalog mode settings for granular control. This plugin is part of the YITH Premium Plugin Family — a collection of over 66 WooCommerce plugins.
