Catalog mode turns the store into a product catalog. Products cannot be purchased, add-to-cart buttons disappear, and prices can be hidden too. It is useful for showrooms, wholesale sites where only approved customers may buy, and stores that are not open yet.

## Turn it on

1. Go to **Flatsome → Dashboard → Modules**, enable **Catalog Mode**, and click **Save**.
2. Open its settings under **Flatsome → Settings → Catalog Mode**.

## Settings

- **Hide prices**: remove prices from product pages, listings, and quick view.
- **Hide sale badges**: remove sale badges, which make little sense without prices.
- **Bypass roles**: user roles that see the full shop instead of the catalog view. Pick *Customer*, for example, to let logged-in customers see prices and order while visitors only browse.

## Tidy up the layout

Catalog mode removes the purchase controls but leaves the rest of the store layout in place. On a site that never sells, you may also want to remove the **Mini-Cart** block from the header and replace the add-to-cart area of the Single Product template with a contact form or an enquiry button. Because these are blocks, they can be put back at any time.
