Hi,
I have started a quotation style website, and our pricing is already hidden throughout our site through the use of an app.
However, it still appears in our search engine listing. Other recommendations are to disable crawling for the pages with pricing. I do not want to do this as it is a newly launched site.
So how could I hide this pricing while also still being index by google? What is done by other sites?
Thanks in advance.
You still can but it won’t show as something like this:
Wherein, there are extra information at the bottom of the search engine listing. If you try to remove, even just the price, Google will no longer have your listing be shown like the image above or some other results that you might have come across when searching in Google. It will, instead, show like this:
and possibly without the product image, just some text.
I have no idea if the same rule happens to other search engines such as Bing as I have not yet tried.
I have one question though, have you considered removing the price from the admin instead?
Yeah but it will then display as free when I set the price to 0.00 which from my view ends up being worse.
I see. Makes total sense.
What theme are you using? I’ll be sending a solution you can try.
I’m using the paid empire theme.
Oh. I don’t think I’ll be able to post a solution here in the comments because it’s a paid theme and I don’t know how the code is written.
I can still help though but that would require you to give me access to your store through collaboration. Only if you’re up for it.
However, if you’d like me to give you a rough idea of the solution, feel free to let me know. I think I can record a video about it and send it here.
Hi @ADG-Ireland If this is for google-shopping feeds etc there is little that can be done there if the platforms do not offer a method to disable parts of the product data.
In which case possibly you either need to put $0, or an insanely high price, but research thoroughly before implementing.
If this is for SERP’s you need to prevent the price from rendering in the JsonLD schema microdata.
This may be rendered in theme.liquid, the products main-product.liquid template or similar, or even a dedicated snippet that renders the microdata.
Example code location for dawn https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/blob/main/sections/main-product.liquid#L717
Though note how Dawn now uses the new structured_data filter, in that situation you either need to capture and remove the price properties and values, or create a custom schema to replace the version created by the structured_data filter.
If you need this customization then contact me by my email for services.

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.
Thanks for the help!
