I want to create a website for my business. I will put some products in it later but I just opened my store and I dont want to start online marketing yet. But I still want to open my website and show my products so I can attract more people. Is there any way to use Shopify without selling anything? If I dont sell any product my pages looks quite empty. Is there any way to now show add to chart button and chart symbol at the top?
Topic summary
Goal: launch a Shopify site to showcase products without enabling purchases, and avoid an empty-looking layout. The requester specifically wants to hide the “Add to cart” button and the cart icon at the top.
Proposed solution: hide the “Buy Now” and “Add to cart” buttons so visitors can view products but cannot buy them. This implies using theme customization (likely CSS or Shopify theme settings), as suggested by the tags (css, optimization, shopify-theme).
Scope and gaps: the reply confirms it’s possible to hide purchase actions but does not provide implementation steps or address the cart icon explicitly. No details on theme files, CSS selectors, or settings are provided.
Status: partially addressed. The concept is confirmed (hide purchase buttons), but practical instructions and confirmation on hiding the cart icon remain open.

Hi @Wesley14
You can hide your buy now and add to cart buttons from the website. By doing this users will able to see your products but not able to buy them.
