Hello,
I have the following situation on a website.
The website is divided into 2 large parts, products and services.
Products can be purchased, nothing special here.
But for services, I want users to not be able to create orders.
Just allow users to add services to the cart, to be able to see the total, to estimate the costs of one or more services, but that's it, just to see the total.
I think it would be useful if I could have two cart modules, one for services and one for products, and each one to be displayed on the website where it corresponds.
Do you have any idea how I could achieve this?
Is it necessary to develop a plugin or module?
Any guidance is appreciated, thank you!

Hi,

In the shipping methods configured for your sellable products, activate the "use price per product" setting.
Then, in each service product, under the "shipping prices" area, you can block the shipping methods.
That way, as long as one of the service product is in the cart, no shipping method will be available in the checkout. The checkout will display an error message (which you can customize with a translation override to say that the service products can't be purchased), and won't let the customer finish the checkout. But when the cart will only contain sellable products, the shipping methods will be normally available, and the user will be able to proceed.

You can read more about this capability here:
