Getting Started!

Overview

Magneto Call for Price Extension is very light weight and easy to

understand plugin by FME. This extension has hide price feature which enables

the store owners to conceal the price of products they want. These items are

either out of stock or their prices are constantly changing and it is required to

confirm about them on call or email before buying. You customer can interact in

two ways, either by contacting on the provided contact number or they can drop

their query through contact form.

Call for Price Module is an interactive tool to keep your customers engaged

in your products and to retain the potential ones. It replaces the price block and

the „Add to Cart‟ button with personalized message. This option is particularly

very important in the case where you are not completely aware of your potential

customer‟s needs and instead you want them to show interest in further details

of the product or service. This would encourage them to interact and generate a

query. This would make them a potential lead that you can convert in the future.

With this Hide Price Magento Module, you can alter the message according

to your desire. Giving you authority to display any text, encourage new

customers with the same effect. You can assign “Call for Price” tag to a single

product, product category or subcategory or to whole shop, hence giving you a

freehand to manipulate your customer in a meaningful way. This feature can be

enabled from the admin backend panel, for details see the step by step portion of

the extension.
