Hide or Delete Shopping Cart

Recommended Posts

Hello guys, is there any way to hide, delete or replace the shopping cart?

What I would like to have instead of that is, Request for quotation.
And then the customer starts to fill out a form.

Is there any contribution for it? Thanks.

I think people have done something like this before. You would not hide or delete the cart -- the whole point is to have a place to accumulate products you're buying. You would hide the prices in some manner, and you would modify the cart checkout to send it to you for a quotation. Shipping might be kept, but payment would be removed or bypassed. The catalog could still be searched. So, most of the shopping cart would still be there, except no prices and no payment.

This assumes customers will want a quote on multiple products. If just one, a simple fixed catalog form with a "quote me" button for each entry might be easier.

You'd probably want to disable the reduction of stock (inventory), too, if someone is only asking for a quote. It would be possible to reduce stock to "reserve" a quote for a limited length of time, but the store owner would want to be careful that stock is returned to the shelves if not purchased. That might be something like an "abandoned cart" system.
