Magento

Is there an easy way to disable the cart?

I want to roll my site out in stages.  I would like to take advantage of the product catalog with prices, details etc. and then add the cart later.

Is this possible?

Magento 1.1.6

System > Configuration

Current Configuration Scope to Main Website then go to

Advanced > Disable module output > Mage_Checkout set to disabled

This should help you… Then all you need to is to remove the Add to Cart button stuff from template.

p.s. Not sure if this Mage_Checkout set to disabled turns Add to Cart by itself…

Old post with useful suggestion, so I think I would update the information: on Magento 1.3 you need to manually remove the “Add to Cart” button, which still appears after disabling the module (leads to empty page).
The exact code to remove and edited files are explained in a few discussions around this forum.

How about disabling it for not logged in customers? Along with the price, quantity box and tier pricing…

re: gfxguru this extension will do that for you -> http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/2096

Anyway, keep the checkout process but just not process the payment via the gateway?  e.g. use site for catalog and select payment then handle payment offline.

On your suggestion with mage_checkout disabled, does that kill the whole checkout process including the payment selection?
