Hi - I currently have the free version of HikaShop but am considering upgrading to HikaMarket. Here's what I need to do: I have multiple product vendors, but for ONE VENDOR ONLY I need the products to function as a catalog (they have a price, but cannot be added to the shopping cart) while all the remaining vendors' products can be "Added to Cart" and purchased directly from my site. Is this possible?

Thank you!

I used your suggestion of putting a "0" in the individual product's stock quantity and it worked great! Thanks so much! However, the product page now shows the text "No stock." Is there any way to (1) Get rid of the "No stock" text altogether and leave that space blank or (2) Customize the text to say something else?

Thanks so much! I am very new at this and want to make sure I’m in the right place so I don’t mess things up! So, to change out the text “No stock” I went to:
Hikashop > System > Configuration >Display > CSS
In “Front-end CSS file” I clicked the edit button. The only code I found containing “out of stock” is as follows:

.hikashop_product_variant_out_of_stock{
  display:none;
}
.hikashop_product_variant_out_of_stock_span{
  background-image:url(../images/delete2.png);
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  height: 16px;
  display: block;
}

Great - got it! Worked fantastic. Thanks so much for the extra instructions!
