Can you remove the buy button for a single product without it saying out of stock?

This may be an option for you to consider.

I have a Retail Client who advertise Products & Prices with "0 zero In Stock" because they are selling In Store as well as Online. Thus actual Stock levels are never certain. So in this case the "Add to Cart" button is replaced with the advice "Enquire to confirm availability".

To achieve this, enter the following parameters into your includes.asp configuration file and upload to server.

(1) Prevent snippet reporting availability http://schema.org/InStock AND http://schema.org/OutOfStock
setschemaavailability=FALSE

(2) Change Out Of Stock message
'xxOutStok'='Enquire to confirm availability'

(3) Change Ask a Question button text.
'xxAskQue'='Enquire'

(4) Note that you also need to define Social Media Buttons and detailpagelayout >>

I presume that ASP code is correct.

Hi, I think (Gary), that would impact all products, no?

Back many years ago, I published a tip here that may do what you want - https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=100929


I think this is what you want - an updated variation of my old code.


That should be placed in your proddetail.asp page before the <!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/incproddetail.asp"--> line

Let me know if it doesn't work.
If Gary's solution is not global, maybe it's better.

Thanks,
David

Just to add, I force customers to the product detail page to add to cart.
I realize many stores to have the add to cart set on the products page. This would be more complicated if that's the case.
Thanks,
David

David, YES. My solution is a fairly simple GLOBAL config change that will impact all products that are "Out Of Stock". That rich snippet is optional.

Your solution would involve editing the proddetail.asp page code on every occasion you had another ProductID to add.

Gary

Thanks for the clarification Gary.

Hi Wayne,
Try this
add a custom css entry to the product you wish to hide these elements

go to product admin > list products > from the quick entry drop down choose > custom css > add 'nobuyorstock' without the quotes

then add this to your css file

.nobuyorstock .addtocart, .nobuyorstock .detailtocart, .nobuyorstock .outofstock, .nobuyorstock .detailoutofstock {display:none;}

Well there you go.
I was thinking there might be another way.
Kudos Phil, I like that one best.

Thank you all so much for the advice. The solution is perfect!
