Remove Checkout and make it a request button

[livingbarrel]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to remove the order button and make it a request more info button?

Hey @livingbarrel!

May I ask why you are wanting to deactivate your checkout? This will stop all customers from being able to purchase products from your store.

You do have the option to hide your Add to cart buttons on your storefront and reveal them again in the future. You will need to edit your theme HTML in order to make this change. You can follow the tutorial below for step by step instructions:

• Disable your Cart · Shopify Help Center

Important Coding Reminders:

• We always suggest you first duplicate the theme and work in the duplicate. That way you can always go back to your previous version.

• If you've changed theme files and need to revert them, you can roll back .liquid files individually to a time and date before you made the changes.

Support for your Shopify Theme:

All paid Shopify stores, using a Shopify-developed theme receive 60 minutes of complimentary design support. We provide this free of charge for Shopify themes if the change falls in line with our Design Policy. Our team tracks the time that they spend on each theme modification request that you make. If you're using a paid theme, then your theme was made by a third-party developer and Shopify's Support team can't help you with it. If you need help customizing a paid theme, then consider hiring a Shopify Expert. You can learn more about customizations that Shopify supports below:

• Support for Themes · Shopify Help Center

If this interests you, you can visit https://bit.ly/3cJkx8V and log in to your account to create a support request, and we'd be happy to take a closer look.

The other customization maybe more relevant , Replace “Add to cart” with a contact link 

https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/os/customize/replace-add-to-cart 

For gathering some basic info you can customize contact forms following online tutorials, there some discussions on it in the forums too.

However if you need to gather complex information , or have dynamic questions for things such as quotes/estimates then in the app store you want to search for "request" , "quote", or "RFQ" / "RFP" (request for quote/proposal)

For some situations also see the pre-order customization , and gather customization info

Thank you @PaulNewton, replacing “Add to cart” with a contact link is a great workaround!
