Custom Empty Price for WooCommerce

Description

This plugin will allow you to completely customise the empty price HTML on a single product page. It can be used to add a ‘CONTACT FOR PRICING’ call to action button,
some advisory text, or any custom HTML you choose.

There are three ‘content types’ available for flexibility & ease of use:

  1. A simple text box with options for bold or italic styling
  2. A button with an optional link
  3. An option to add your own custom HTML

By default it will use the styles available in your custom theme, but each content type has a configurable CSS class, should you wish to style the content further.

Note on variable products:

The custom content will only show on variable products if none of the variations have a price set. Due to the nature of variable products, this will result in an out of stock message being displayed. If you do not wish to have this out of stock message, the simplest option is to only use this on ‘Simple’ or ‘Grouped’ products.

Can I set the button to open a popup, for say a contact form?

Technically, yes, as long as you use the custom HTML option. As the custom HTML will not allow you to add your own script tags for security reasons, you will have to enqueue your own Javascript seperately from the plugin. Your best option is to use a WordPress Shortcode. Support for shortcodes was added in V1.1.0.

I am considering adding the ability to enqueue your own scripts as a built-in feature, so if you require this kind of functionality, just ask.

Do you have any other useful plugins?

Yes, I have two other ( completely free ) plugins called WP Dev Flag & WP Custom Author URL, both on the WordPress Repository here:

Simple and straightforward

Perfect and elegant execution. Strikes just the right balance in how to handle the simple task of adding a call to action button or otherwise handling an empty price. Customization is simple, adding just a single CSS class that you can override if you wish. This is how all plugins ought to work.

Works Perfectly

Needed this exact solution for a number of products and it worked exactly as described with hardly any setup. Thank you, Chris.

works well

Hello, it worked perfectly! I inserted a button via shortcode. But the button was only displayed on the single product, is there any way to display the button on the products archive?

Works great, thanks for this!

I'm so glad I found this! My only complaint is that I had to do some custom CSS and use !important to get the button to follow the same format as my theme's buttons.
