How Do I Disable Shopping Cart in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 21, 2023 @ 1:11 pm

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you might want to disable the shopping cart feature for a number of reasons. Maybe you’re not quite ready to start selling yet, or maybe you want to use the site as a catalog only.

Whatever the reason, it’s easy to disable the shopping cart in WooCommerce.

Here’s how:

1. Log into your WordPress dashboard and go to WooCommerce > Settings. On the General tab, scroll down to the Cart and Checkout section.

2. There are two options here that will disable the shopping cart: Disable the shopping cart functionality completely, and Hide the Add to Cart button on products pages.

If you want to completely disable the shopping cart, check the first option. If you just want to hide the Add to Cart button, check the second option.

3. Once you’ve made your selection, click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

That’s it! You’ve now disabled shopping cart in WooCommerce.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to disable your shopping cart in WooCommerce, please be aware that this will also disable the ability to add items to your cart. This may cause confusion for your customers, and may result in lost sales.
